At least he’s honest. Strident liberal comic Seth Meyers admitted he wasn’t quite sure how to “walk the fine line” of fairness when it comes to his frequent political shots. Asked by Today's Al Roker on Monday, Meyers offered this spin: “We obviously have a lot of discussions about taste and what we're aiming to get out there, but we try to have a little integrity to our work and hopefully it comes across.”
A few seconds earlier, Roker wondered, “How tough is it walking that fine line?” The Late Night With Seth Meyers host replied, “I don't know. I don't think we think about it as a fine line so much.”
Clearly, Meyers has no idea. In March of 2016, the host went on a humorless rant by whining about Christians and comparing religious freedom bills to segregation.
In On May 2, 2017, he compared Donald Trump to a serial killer. On May 9, he brought on Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood, to bash pro-lifers.
So, yeah. Seth Meyers doesn’t know how to be anything other than a late night, humorless hack.
A transcript of the exchange is below:

6/12/17
8:25am ETHODA KOTB: You've had a lot of cool guests, obviously. Is there somebody you're jonesing for, you’re saying I need this person on?
SETH MEYERS: Well, you know, look, Sean Spicer — I keep saying — I think Sean Spicer the hardest job in America and I have a lot of questions about it because as far as me, people keep saying do you have to change your stories at the last minute? I can't imagine what his day is like in the ten minutes before he goes out to give a press conference, what could actually break and change his entire outlook.
AL ROKER: How tough is it walking that fine line?
MEYERS: I don't know. I don't think we think about it as a fine line so much. We obviously have a lot of discussions about taste and what we're aiming to get out there but we try to have a little integrity to our work and hopefully it comes across.
