Meyers: ‘Disclaimer’ to My ‘Biden Is Old Jokes’ — ‘No Equivalency’ to a Man Showing Signs of Age and a ‘Demented 77-Year-Old Criminal’

Meyers: “You guys might think of Joe Biden as a kindly old man who occasionally trips on the stairs or tries to disappear to his happy place during press conferences, or turns and smiles at the camera like he’s the Fonz walking out of Arnold’s Diner. (Laughter) ‘I’ll see you nerds later. I’ve got a date with the Randazzo triplets. Oh, my back.’ There was also this moment from a Juneteenth celebration at the White House on Monday where Biden was extremely still while everyone else around him danced during a concert.”

Meyers: “Why is he so — he looks like a time traveller in ‘Ah of the Wonders the Future Beholds.’ ‘You having fun at the concert?’ ‘Yes, I am enjoying my time.’ I’m enjoying being in your presence.’ This is a good reminder, that while a like a president that could at least Sway back and forth a little bit, this election is a binary choice and I do prefer stone cold Joe Biden over a hot dog salesman who’s only got two left to sell. But seriously, what’s happening here? He’s more still than one of those gold guys in the subway who scare the [bleep] out of you — (Laughter) — when they move. The only time anyone has been this still in public, is me when I was standing next to Joe Biden. (Laughter) (Applause) I did like this question from gospel singer, Kirk Franklin, though.”

FRANKLIN: “Can I please do one more?”
AUDIENCE: “Yes.”
FRANKLIN: “First of all, are your feet hurting?”

Meyers: “Nah, my feet don’t hurt because I haven’t moved them once. (Laughter) I’m not joking around. At my age, you just keep them in one place and you’re fine.’ (Laughter) Now a quick disclaimer for anybody who’s mad about my Biden is old jokes, it’s fine. He’s the most powerful man in the world. He can take a joke. As we made clear on this show repeatedly there is no equivalency between a competent 81-year-old who occasionally shows signs of age and a demented 77-year-old criminal who says dead people rigged the election and thinks electric boat batteries will lead to shark attacks.”

Trump: “I went to a boat company in South Carolina. The boat, I said, ‘How is it?’ He said, ‘It’s a problem, sir. They want us to make all electric boats.’ So, I said, ‘Let me ask you a question.’ And he said, ‘Nobody asked this question.’ And it must because of MIT, my relationship to MIT, very smart. He goes — I said, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there. If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking, do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?’ Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.”

(Laughter)
Meyers: “Was this long, random tangent just a convenient ploy so I could find a way to play that clip again? I’ll let you decide. (Laughter) (Applause) We played that clip on Monday, but I’m still so hung up on it, which brings us to a new segment called ‘Seth is still hung up on something from a previous closer look.’” (Laughter)
