Summary

Seth takes a closer look at the second straight weekend of massive protests against President Trump - this time after he issued a ban on refugees and visitors from seven majority-Muslim countries. Then, Seth chats with film legend Robert De Niro about his new movie The Comedian, as well as his outspoken stance against Donald Trump. Finally, Late Night writers Amber Ruffin and Jenny Hagel (of Jokes Seth Can't Tell fame) share a conversation backstage. They discuss their decade-plus friendship, Amber's secret video game talent and why a certain article of clothing was symbolic for Jenny's professional success.
