For his last "Closer Look" segment before the election, Seth Meyers focused on the last few days of the 2016 campaign, complete with celebrity appearances, the world's smallest violin, and Mazel Tov cocktails.
Hillary Clinton has been campaigning with stars like Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, and LeBron James, Meyers noted, joking that "it's like she's gathering photos for a coffee book table, People I'm Not As Cool As." During his final rallies, Donald Trump was "bitching" about Clinton's celebrity supporters, Meyers said, before showing a clip of Trump saying he doesn't need Jay Z or Bon Jovi to stand next to him on a stage, and he doesn't travel around with a piano or guitar. "That's okay, I've got an instrument for you Donald — the world's smallest violin," Meyers said. "It should be noted that with your hands, it would be a regular size violin."
The final stretch of the campaign season has been chock full of weird sound bites and actions, and Meyers highlighted just a few: a Trump surrogate renaming Molotov cocktails as "Mazel Tov cocktails," Trump marveling at a rubber mask of his visage, and the president of the United States mocking a man for his unbridled Twitter usage. The real question isn't who will win tomorrow — it's what will Meyers have to talk about once the election is over? Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
