WASHINGTON — Seth Meyers will bring “Late Night” to Washington for four shows this week at the Warner Theatre, and he chatted with º£½ÇÉçÇøapp about politics, Donald Trump and the role of laughter in the presidential campaign.

In 2011, Meyers was the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner where Trump was an attendee.

Meyers said that he’s certainly been “wrong at every single turn” this past year and a half, and said that he is clearly not an expert.

“Late Night with Seth Meyers” will be taped at the .
