Summary
In the inaugural episode of Late Night's limited podcast series "A Closer Look Back," A Closer Look Supervising Writer/Producer Sal Gentile and A Closer Look Supervising Producer Emily Erotas discuss moments in A Closer Look from when Donald Trump was in the White House.
They tell behind-the-scenes stories about writing and producing the segment while Seth Meyers and his staff were working remotely, and they examine the former president's attempts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election as well as lessons that can be applied to the 2024 election.
Then, Sal talks to journalist Ari Berman, the National Voting Rights Correspondent for Mother Jones and author of the new book Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People―and the Fight to Resist It.
"A Closer Look Back" will be available in the Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast feed every other Monday.
