    “ACQUIESCE..everyone watching at home like wow a genius must of wrote this one” 😂😂😂 Seth has a very poignant point of view on topics that I enjoy so much in similar fashion to Jost’s work on SNL, but his style and delivery keeps it fresh & unique as it’s own entity separate from SNL. Him having his own show was a fantastic decision & he’s successfully carved out a admirable place as one of the major voices of reason on TV. We love to see them thriving. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      *must've writeen (contraction of "MUST haVE")
      Similarly, it's could've, should've, would've, may've, and might've.
      The 've sounds like "of" when spoken, so that's why you misunderstood it.
      *its own (possessive)
      it's = contraction of "it is" or "it has"
      All contractions have apostrophes. Possessive pronouns never do.

    When Seth talks about a third kangaroo, "described as a drunken redneck", there is actually a species of kangaroo called the red-necked wallaby. My husband and I saw a lot of them years ago when we were in Australia. According to Wikipedia, during courtship "the male and female will fight briefly, standing upright like two males. After that they finally mate. A couple will stay together for one day before separating." Sounds pretty redneck to me.
