Summary

Seth takes a closer look at President Trump's first week in office, and his false claims about nonexistent voter fraud and concerns about his behavior. Then, Seth interviews award-winning journalist Katie Couric about press freedom under Donald Trump, as well as her new documentary, "Gender Revolution." We also go backstage with Katie to hear some more about her documentary. Finally, Seth talks to author Matt Taibbi about his new book "Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus." He explains why the election of Donald Trump is "terrible and awful and hilarious all at the same time." Matt also tells Late Night producer Henry about why coming to 30 Rock is a homecoming of sorts for him.
