Political asylum seeker Julian Assange may have cracked up after seven years of living alone in a small room in Ecuador's embassy in London. 

According to reports, the WikiLeaks founder pushed Ecuador to end protections after he, among other things, started stealing WiFi, riding a skateboard through embassy halls and refusing to clean up after his cat. As late-night comic Trevor Noah stated, Assange was acting less like a dissident and more like a disgruntled teen. 

What about the gruff look? Seth Meyers compares Assange to a slightly off-kilter version of a familiar holiday visitor. And the scruffy beard and disheveled hair say one thing to late-night comic Jimmy Fallon. Assange is in desperate need of a "Queer Eye" visit before his U.S. appearance. Take a look at today's Best of Late Night, above, for more.
