President Biden's visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers indicates a tough road ahead in his reelection campaign (https://variety.com/2024/tv/columns/biden-seth-meyers-late-night-israel-1235923991/)

Amid questions about his age and acuity, the 81-year-old Biden's rare TV interview last night within the friendly confines of Meyers' studio "was a booking that made sense, but that also called attention to Biden’s most crucial liability in 2024 — the fact that time has passed," says Daniel D'Addario. Unlike his predecessors Barack Obama and Donald Trump, "Biden has long lacked the ability to bend the medium of TV to his ends," says D'Addario. "In a first segment, in which he was flanked by Meyers and by Amy Poehler, Biden called to mind the 2010 episode of Saturday Night Live in which host Betty White was supported by an all-star team of guests who did the real comic heavy lifting; he made game attempts to riff on the so-called ‘Dark Brandon’ persona constructed for him online, but appeared ill-at-ease. Hypothetical comparisons don’t flatter President Biden: In a comparable setting, Obama might have caught the joke, lobbed it back, and then pivoted into whatever he was really there to discuss. And Trump, by this point in his term, would never have been invited on Late Night specifically, but certainly did not struggle in making whatever news program had given him a platform into a blistering and strange referendum on whatever topic he chose. Here, Meyers and Poehler were handing the President a gift of sorts — the opportunity to play into a long-running joke that his amiable and aloof personality conceals a mastermind. He seemed a beat behind in catching the joke each time, and missed the opportunity to use it to say anything more substantive. What is 'Dark Brandon’s' agenda, his master plan? That joke remained untold."
