Has an old sketch inspired Kanye West to interrupt Taylor Swift?

Seth Meyers, who was returning to the series for the first time after writing for 15 years as lead writer and host of "Weekend Update", recalled a skit he had worked on several years ago, while the rapper was a musical guest.

"We presented him with a sketch in which he would interrupt the awards speeches by saying that they had made a mistake and that he should have won," Meyers said in his opening monologue. . "And Kanye said it's hilarious, because I would do that."

"That's a good self-awareness," joked the host.

Meyers presented the sketch, in which West participated in the Kids' Choice Awards, the Nobel Prize and "a national fair because he was upset that his pumpkin did not win".

The kicker? The infamous interruption of the 2009 VMA acceptance speech by Taylor Swift ("I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time") has expired two years after the sketch.

Yes, you read correctly. After.

"All the while, I was telling you this story, you thought it was based on the interruption of Taylor Swift," Meyers continued. "That had not happened yet." Kanye sketched the madness he had been interrupted, and then two years later, he was at a prize-giving ceremony and said: " I should do it again. ""

"So when people say," Are you surprised Kanye supports Trump, "I say" no, "he concluded.
