In the fourth 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 the central lie of Trump's political strategy: that no election is legitimate unless he wins, and any criticism is simply lies from his perceived enemies. They revisit A Closer Look segments going back to Trump's first term that focus on Trump's fundamental dishonesty, and how his opposition was galvanized by his deep and broad unpopularity.

They tell behind-the-scenes stories from their time working with Seth Meyers and Late Night's writers and producers during the Trump administration.

"A Closer Look Back" is typically available in the Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast feed every other Monday; however, the next episode will be released Monday, November 18.
