While he’s usually the one discussing headlines on Late Night, Seth Meyers accidentally made international news himself this week after he went out to get ice cream with President Joe Biden.

Meyers got caught in the crossfire after President Biden was criticized for addressing the Israel-Palestine conflict while holding an ice cream cone. The Late Night host joked that he “was flabbergasted, dumbstruck, one might even say agog” to find himself featured on various cable news networks reporting on Biden’s comments that afternoon.

“Usually I’m the one taking closer looks at the news. Now I’m in the news, which means it’s time to take a closer look at myself,” Meyers joked.

He later added that he felt ashamed for “forgetting the first rule of comedy: When the Middle East comes up, put your ice cream cone down!”

Meyers joked that the “strange” experience made him feel like he was in an episode of Veep or Curb Your Enthusiasm. “Never before in my life has the Curb Your Enthusiasm music been louder in my head than during this moment,” he said.

In that now-viral moment, President Biden paused from eating his ice cream cone to comment on whether he believed Israel and Palestine could reach a ceasefire.

“I hope by… the end of the weekend,” Biden answered, dessert in hand. “My national security advisor tells me we’re close. We’re close. It’s not done yet. My hope is by next Monday, we’ll have a ceasefire.”

While wrapping up his rant about the viral interview, Meyers recalled exactly what he was thinking as President Biden issued his remarks.

“As I was listening in the moment, I was thinking to myself that I really hope he was right about an imminent ceasefire. In fact, I hope it comes as soon as possible because, as far as I can tell, the only way out of this nightmare is an immediate lasting ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages,” Meyers said to much applause from his audience.

Biden’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers had a number of other memorable moments, including when the President took shots at Donald Trump’s age and addressed rumors that he was “in cahoots” with Taylor Swift ahead of the upcoming election.

“Number one, you got to take a look at the other guy — he’s about as old as I, but he can’t remember his wife’s name,” Biden said of his opponent.
