Seth takes a closer look at Trump backing out of a 60 Minutes interview while JD Vance brazenly lied about everything from health care to abortion to January 6. Then, Mariska Hargitay talks about Law & Order: SVU's record-breaking 26th season, her iconic Olivia Benson costume being on display in the Smithsonian Museum and Dick Wolf having the Law & Order theme song as his ringtone.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the second 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 from their time working with Seth Meyers and Late Night's writers and producers during the Trump administration — and why the Sea Captain was so difficult to produce when Seth was recording the show in an attic. Then, Sal talks to journalist Asawin Suebsaeng, Senior Political Reporter at Rolling Stone. He discusses his reporting from Springfield, OH, and what he discovered about the city that Donald Trump and his campaign have recently smeared with conspiracy theories. Sal and Asawin talk about how Trump is using the Springfield example as a playbook for his plans if he returns to office. "A Closer Look Back" is available in the Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast feed every other Monday.
