“Justice Kennedy, what are you doin’ retiring, man? You have a great job where you barely work, you get to wear a robe all day and give your opinions on stuff. That basically is retirement," Meyers said on NBC's "Late Night" on Wednesday.

"Stick around, at least until we get a new president. Six months tops," he added.

Kennedy, 81, announced earlier Wednesday that he intends to retire effective July 31, leaving after 30 years on the court. The decision provides Trump with the chance to nominate another conservative justice, further altering the judicial landscape for years to come.

Kennedy was considered a more centrist judge, as he sided with Democrat-appointed justices on key issues, such same sex marriage and abortion rights.

Trump told reporters after meeting with Kennedy that he plans to begin the search for a replacement "immediately," adding that the pick will come from the previously announced White House list of 25 candidates.

The president earlier this week took aim at late-night hosts, singling out NBC's Jimmy Fallon, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and CBS's Stephen Colbert.

“Honestly are these people funny? And I can laugh at myself. Frankly, if I couldn’t, I’d be in big trouble,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina.

“But there’s no talent. They’re not, like, talented people,” he added.
