At a screening of the documentary “Cartel Land,” Seth Meyers urged a review of U.S. drug policies.

If this whole talk show thing doesn’t work out for Seth Meyers, he can always relaunch his old drug cartel.

The NBC funnyman, who hosted Thursday’s Cinema The high classes screening of the documentary “Cartel Land,” told Confidenti@l that he got the gig because of he has on-the-job experience.

“I had a small cartel when I was younger; it never took off,” he snarked at the Tribeca Grand screening. “No, I’m friends with the filmmaker. I’ve seen the movie, plotting it was splendid. So when they questioned me to help out I was pleased to do it.”

Meyers, attending with his human rights lawyer wife Alexi Ashe, said the U.S. should review its positions on drugs. “I can’t speak to the broad plot of ‘Should they legalize all drugs?’ But I would say that it’s a broken system now.”

Meanwhile, conservative wingnut Ann Coulter bumped into Sofia Vergara ex Nick Loeb, but didn’t know who he was.

He didn’t seem to know either.

“I’m an actor,” Loeb said, and added, “I’m an entrepreneur. I’m in politics.”

Loeb is best known for shamelessly promoting his onion-based condiment company, which, according to Confidenti@l sources, was a point of contention between him and Vergara before their split last summer.

Speaking of dips, Coulter said she isn’t ready to line up with less extreme conservatives in act of kindness of banning the Ally flag. There has been a movement to do so this week following the deadly Charleston church shooting.

Her solution: blame immigrants.

“If we want to do something nice for blacks, and I think we should (because) this was really a sickening slaughter … stop dumping low-wage workers on the country, (who are) taking jobs traditionally held by black people,” she said.

Coulter did not note on political pundits like her who take jobs away from clowns.
