Biden visiting NYC to tape rare interview with late-night host Seth Meyers

President Biden is traveling to Manhattan on Monday to tape an interview with late-night host Seth Meyers, The Post has learned.

A source familiar with the president’s schedule spilled the commander in chief’s plans, which have not been publicly divulged by the White House or the Biden campaign.

Biden, 81, has given far fewer interviews than his recent predecessors during his three years in office and has not done an interview with an American newspaper reporter.

The president’s afternoon trip to the Big Apple will also feature a fundraiser at a nearby hotel.

Meyers’ show airs after midnight on NBC.

Biden, who has given most of his interviews to friendly questioners, traveled to New York last June for an on-site interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and generated buzz by awkwardly walking off-set before the commercial break.

The White House and the Biden campaign did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment, nor did NBC.

Meyers famously mocked Donald Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, which foes of Trump claim helped motivate his successful 2016 campaign for the presidency.

Trump, who is expected to face off against Biden in a rematch in November, has had choice words for Meyers.

“That no-talent comic was nasty — ‘marble mouth’, because he can’t speak properly,” Trump told The Post in a 2020 Oval Office interview.

“Seth Meyers, he was nasty. Just one joke. The guy’s got no talent whatsoever,” Trump fumed.

“Zero. How do these guys get jobs? I don’t get it. How does a Seth Meyers, how does [Stephen] Colbert — has no talent, there’s nothing funny about him, nothing funny. You look at some of these people and you say, ‘How do they get a job?’ They are just so average.”

“And I know extraordinary talent, I know it better than anybody, but a guy like Seth Meyers is a zero. And he said, you know, just one or two things that were nasty. And he mispronounced words, he was nervous as hell, he couldn’t speak properly — that’s why I call him marble mouth.”
