The \u201cLate Night<\/a>\u201d host turned to a clip of the center\u2019s new chairman \u2014 Trump \u2014 claiming that he initially dismissed the gig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2033\u2018Are you fools asking me to do that?\u2019 \u2018Sir, you\u2019ll get much higher ratings.\u2019 I said, \u2018I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m president of the United States. I won\u2019t do it,\u2019\u201d recalled Trump at a rambling press conference where he announced the center\u2019s 2025 honorees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He continued, \u201cThey said, \u2018Please.\u2019 And then [Kennedy Center board member and White House Chief of Staff] Susie Wiles said to me, \u2018Sir, I\u2019d like you to host.\u2019 I said, \u2018OK, Susie, I\u2019ll do it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meyers swiftly gave his two cents on the tale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWell, I think you deserve the award for Best Original Screenplay because that\u2019s definitely a fake conversation that did not happen,\u201d quipped Meyers before launching into his Trump impression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018Sir, we want you to host.\u2019 And I said, \u2018You\u2019re fools! I\u2019m so busy!\u2019 And they said, \u2018The ratings would be huge because everyone loves you.\u2019 And I said, \u2018That\u2019s true.\u2019 And then I said, \u2018What will I wear?\u2019 And they said, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll make a special tuxedo that\u2019s big enough for your incredibly large penis.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Moments earlier, Meyers argued that Trump was \u201cdefinitely not joking\u201d when he used the presser to suggest that he\u2019d honor himself at next year\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI have no trouble believing that he gives himself a made-up award called, \u2018The Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Nobel Prize EGOT Award For Most Everything\u2019 and the award will just be a little golden statue of himself getting an award,\u201d Meyers joked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
