Sometimes so much news is happening that time itself becomes difficult to keep track of.

That's certainly the sense you get watching Seth Meyers' Late Night return monologue above, in which he rattles through the headlines for the past few weeks while becoming increasingly out of breath.

"Everyone thought Mitch McConnell was dead because he disappeared, and then Lindsey Graham said he was gonna go check on him when he was off, and then Graham died?" pants Meyers. "Trump intervened to get a red card in a World Cup match overturned while admitting he didn't know what a red card was, and then when Belgium beat the U.S. they made fun of Trump by doing his stupid dance?"

It goes on like that for five full minutes with barely any breaks, and Meyers struggling to finish a sentence before moving on to the next headline.
