In a recent episode of “Late Night,” host Seth Meyers took aim at a video showing the renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America. The change came through an executive order, which was accompanied by a social media clip depicting the map alteration being made with a permanent marker.
Meyers focused his criticism on the method used in the video. He highlighted the peculiar decision to cross out both instances of “Lake” on the map rather than simply removing “Ontario” and replacing it with “America.” According to Meyers, this approach was illogical since the body of water itself remained unchanged by the name modification.
The late-night host concluded his commentary by characterizing the effort as frivolous, suggesting that the administration’s actions demonstrate a fundamental inability to achieve substantive goals. His critique underscored what he viewed as the futility of the entire endeavor.
