Seth Meyers laughs off late night audience not getting his SNL reference: 'I always forget what year it is'

Seth Meyers laughed off his talk show audience not getting his 'SNL' reference to Chris Kattan's iconic late-'90s character Mango: 'I always forget what year it is'

In response to the U.S. secretary of commerce stating that the 10 percent tariff "is not going to change virtually any price" expect the costs of products "that we don't make here — like the mango," Meyers suggested otherwise. It's just the one we make, you can't-a have-a," Meyers quipped, mimicking Mango's voice and riffing on his classic line while a photo of the dancer appeared on screen. Mango was a fixture on SNL during Kattan's stint on the venerable sketch comedy show between 1996 and 2003, with the character wooing and confusing the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Christopher Walken while performing for them scantily clad.
