Summary

Seth takes a closer look at President Trump's contradicting remarks about his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey. Next, Seth chats with Aziz Ansari, the creator and star of Netflix's "Master of null." They discuss some Islamophobia stories that didn't make it into Season 2, and the time Aziz mastered some key Japanese phrases only to insult a Korean man at a sushi restaurant. Then you'll hear a new Late Night Chats segment, featuring Late Night's head of cue cards Wally Feresten and our show photographer Lloyd Bishop.
