Seth Meyers has been focussing on the Trump/Epstein scandal lately, but on Thursday's Late Night he also found time to draw attention to the president appearing to casually nod off at work during a White House event with Medicare administrator Dr. Oz.

Meyers shows footage of the president, his eyes slowly drifting shut before snapping open again, while Dr. Oz talks next to him.

"Hold on, I think I might have to do what my teachers used to do to me in math class," says Meyers, picking up a large book and dropping it onto the Late Night desk. "Mr Trump? Care to join us?

"I mean that was very brutal," Meyers adds. "You know when he finally opened his eyes he looked around and thought to himself, 'Oh f***, I'm still president.'"
