Seth Meyers trolls Rudy Giuliani over 'chaotic stand-up routine' in court during 'A Closer Look' segment
LOS ANGELES, CAIFORNIA: Seth Meyers took aim at Rudy Giuliani's recent legal troubles in a scathing recent segment of 'A Closer Look.'

Meyers mocked Giuliani's insistence on his innocence even after being found liable for defamation and facing a potential $47 million payout.
"Rudy repeated fantastical lies made up out of whole cloth, like when he defamed two election workers in Georgia. Now, a judge has already found Rudy liable for defamation."
The comedian compared Giuliani's courtroom behavior to a chaotic stand-up routine, complete with unintelligible objections and bizarre attire. He even joked about Giuliani's lawyer possibly taking the stand as a witness against him.
"At one point, the judge upbraided Giuliani and his attorney 'for indecipherable objections to exhibits,' saying, 'Your objections have to be intelligible.'"
Meyers also criticized the ongoing Republican impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, calling it a "sham" and a desperate attempt to deflect from Trump's own misdeeds.
"So Trump and his goons are finally facing consequences for their shameless lying, which explains why Republicans have decided to waste Congress' precious time on a sham impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden."
He pointed out the lack of evidence linking Hunter to Joe Biden and mocked GOP lawmakers like James Comer and Nancy Mace for their nonsensical claims.

He applauded Hunter Biden for offering to testify publicly, but criticized Republicans for insisting on a closed-door hearing. Meyers emphasized the missed opportunity for entertainment and the public's right to witness the proceedings.
"None of those indictments have produced any evidence of a connection to Joe Biden."
Meyers concluded the segment by lamenting the waste of time and resources on the impeachment inquiry and urging Congress to focus on real issues affecting Americans. He ended with a jab at Republicans' perception of their own voters as a "low-IQ audience."
Overall, the segment was a hilarious and scathing commentary on Rudy Giuliani's legal woes and the hypocrisy of the Republican Party. Meyers' sharp wit and use of humor effectively exposed the absurdity of the situation.
