Comedian Seth Meyers is partnering with Netflix to introduce a button where you can select whether to skip his jokes about US President Donald Trump, as reported earlier Monday by CNN. For his special -- Seth Meyers: Lobby Baby, which is coming to Netflix on Nov. 5. -- you'll be able to skip over all political jokes in much the same way you can skip intros, Netflix confirmed.

4. This matters...

He told CNN that because he was working with Netflix on the special, he realized there would be an "opportunity to put in technology that would allow people to skip it."

"It was a way to build in the response to anyone who would say, 'Oh, let me guess, there's going to be jokes about the president,'" he told CNN.

The button is a one-off and an extension of Meyers' punchline on political joke fatigue, a Netflix spokesperson told CNET, adding that Netflix supports the creative views of the artists it works with.

How weird.

Maybe it’s Seth Meyers working up to a punchline routine.

Geezus those trumpanzees have thin skins.

10. We need a button on the tv to skip any pics, video of Rump, or sound of his voice.

That's an app I'd pay big for.
