Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
"Oh, I'm gonna do it." is the closest thing I have heard to a comedic threat in my entire life. Hearing it, I knew you were going to hurt my ribs intentionally.
"Oh, I'm gonna do it" I loved that. Your tangents and impressions make you the best late night host BY FAR
I actually LOLd at that point.
@@danmagoo So did I.
Except for Cobert!!
Seth's transformation over the covid break has been nothing short of miraculous. I love this new informal style. Well done Seth!
Right, I loved him before but it's become something even more special over that time.
1000% agree i live down under and love the show no even my country
this show only gets better! seth not wearing a suit even with an audience on set warms my heart. great work, everybody!
I agree!
I couldn't agree more. The audience came back and they kept them being mic'd to a minimum so you can actually hear what he is saying. He doesn't just pander to them like most hosts, and the tangents seem to have only gotten better, especially when the audience isn't on board.
Factz
@@dzd2371 He clearly is not pandering them. It is more challenging them. I love it.
I'm all about our funny guys being comfortable. the more cozy you are, the funnier.
"Try 'anyway' . . . Anyway!"
Absolutely NAILED the timing on that, man!
Loved that whole meta bit
This show is satirical perfection. Out of all the late night shows, comics, and "news" anchors this show is by far my favorite.
I was thinking the same thing.
3:42 “No of course not… that’s what lawyers are for. You’re just an events coordinator at a landscaping company!”
As the mom of a three year old, I fully appreciated the Sandra Boynton bit. Thank you Seth, crew and writers, you are the guiding light through these dark times. Stay safe. We love you back.
Same!
Cancel the Republican party and the idiot followers.
God bless you
I can remember when her works were all over the newsagents.
You know, back when you bought things on paper ...
Seth’s writers are the best in the business. They know what he can deliver and write to it perfectly. He’s ridiculously good in this format.
So much better with a live audience for the timing. I liked before when the production crew laughed at his jokes though, they made it work. Have a great night Moges.
Except for Cobert's
The "not so easily triggered" right proving, _yet again,_ how easily triggered they are.
Well, you know, they are trigger happy
Classic projection, accusing other people of the very thing you’re guilty of and can’t bring yourself to admit.
Is this walking a fine line of jackals.
They're a bunch of thin-skinned, whiney little children. No sane, mature adult gives two f*cks about Dr Seuess or Mr Potato Head. Their arguments are pathetic.
The left is triggered exponentially more. So calm down chod. Both sides are trash 🗑 type garbage
That “anyway” joke was perfect and don’t let anyone tell you different.
I might’ve gone with “Today’s episode is brought to you by the letter ‘A’ for ‘anyway’.” But I did still like the one they went with.
Only the best, featured on today's episode of "Lookin Around!" 😝
@@sally8708 Aw, man, that'd have been hilarious!
Anyway, why do you think so?
differently*
This is one of the best Closer Looks so far. The timing is spot on, love the self deprecating way the jokes are delivered. Really this show has grown so much during the pandemic.
I love how Seth knows exactly what we want. As soon as he said that Moderna joke I was like, alright now we gotta hear it.
And he did it w a very funny joke as well😄
When you come for Big Bird, you come for *all of us*
Two words: ON FIRE. This was an amazingly well-executed Closer Look - I laughed until I could barely breathe both during and after. Great job! And thank you for bringing much-needed humor to these times.
I have a complaint! I spit up my soup halfway through this monologue. I couldn't stop laughing. I had to change my clothes when he was done, I was wearing the soup. Man is comedically dangerous!
Seth was so excited to do Swedish Chef😂😂 Like a kid on Christmas
I would believe Big Bird over Cancruz, on any subject any day.
That would be Concruz wouldn’t it?
Both are hysterical!!!😂😂😂🤣‼️
Well played. X 2 🙏🏼😹
Lmasssso
Big bird has been teaching children for 40+ years, I trust that human sized bird
One of the best Closer Looks ever, in my opinion. Loving the new tone of the show, the new joke formats, the flow from one to the other, it's so fresh.
Impression camp was worth it for that Swedish Chef impression!
Worth all that build up, too
I learned more from a hour of Big Bird at Sesame Street episode than the 9 years Cruz has been in office.. He leaves his constituents to freeze to death, but Big Bird is the problem.
Politicians like Ted Cruz are why people hate politicians so much, the guy is such a pathetic low-life.
He never left anyone to freeze and if your talking about the power outage that happened during that freak snow storm last winter in Texas he did what he could during that.
Ted Cruz is not bad. You guys are dumb.
This is the only comment I've seen from you that makes any sense
@@Kinseliplier That's a lot of Fox News doublethink there Tucker Hannity...
"Who gives a f**k about Christmas?" 🎄
-The Former First Lady
...and a blood red tree for every moral and ethical disparity in the WH that year
I have no doubt Rudy 'didn't do any vetting'.
In fact, I'm 90% sure that when someone asked if they should be vetting these claims, Rudy reminded them that he was a lawyer, and not an animal doctor.
This so stupid yet it feels so realistic
😄
Dammit Jim!
Rudy didn’t do any vetting when he married his cousin 😂
@@gobigorange oh I think he did. They are both animals in my book. lol
Late Night is by far the best late night show. Seth has managed to make you feel like you are in the room with him. I liked it better with just the crew in the audience, but saying that, I'd love to see him in person. And Corrections, who's ever idea that was , is brilliant. Thank you Seth.
I've noticed that Trevor Noah has a segment called "Suggestion Box" that looks at first glance like a Corrections relative. Investigation pending ...
Yeah, I love me some Trevor Noah, but the whole “suggestion box” thing seemed like a cheap knock off. Trevor can and should do better.
I'm a Jackal, so I must point out it would be *whose ever idea that was 😉
@@brianbaker6881 And to be even more jackalish, I believe it’s whosever (one word). 😉 Let’s face it, this pedantic crosstalk will thrill Seth. It’s why we do it. 😂
Update! Trevor's new segment involves him responding to tweets supposedly from his audience, but it's lame. Seth, staff & jackals rule!
"they want to cancel Dr. Seuss" while literally showing a picture of President Obama holding Green Eggs and Ham reading it to school children..
And now *they* want to cancel Sesame Street. The far right folks are immune to irony. It would be funny, if it weren't so sad.
It’s gotta be a prolonged episode of Veep- surely?? It’s too much…🤣🤣
I can't believe the GOP would even worry about Sesame Street, as the party has worked so hard to defund public television over the years that Sesame Street finally ended up on premium cable.
@@artbargra xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love that Late Night is keeping the crew jokes.
Its cute and fun.
I love that throughout Covid, Seth's really eased into a relaxed approach to the show. It's way less formulated and feels more natural than the other late night shows, and definitely moreso than it was before Covid. It's fun seeing him crack himself up, he's clearly actually having fun with the show and not just presenting for our sake.
I agree, I wasn’t fully ready for what changes were coming with having the live audience again.
They need to add a Swedish Chef course at impressions camp
Bork bork bork
I thought that the Swedish Chef sounded just a bit Italian.
Hoorty bloorty!!
Swedish Chef is a core requirement to graduate from impressions camp.
Taught by Seth… Perfection!
The Closer Look has become a multimedia work of art. Kudos to Seth, the writers, the graphics department, the editors, the sound guy and of course most of all to Wally and his signs.
Or, sound woman.
As the father of a 2-yr old, I appreciate the Sandra Boynton reference. We have a bunch of her books, and my kid loves them.
Moo.
Baa.
La La La.
Agree. Anyone who disagrees is just an Angry Duck.
Is it too early to say, "Wee fish ewe a mare egrets moose"?
Hahahaha yes!!
I love Seth's closer look
Love that this show will just dive headlong into a Sandra Boynton bit with reckless abandon
Seth got something really positive out of the pandemic. Dude is killing it. Fast and Loose Seth is way more enjoyable.
………😳……….🤣😭
Truth!
Ha ha! The Swedish Chef joke just earned you a thumbs-up, Seth! 😂
It was too intelligible to be Swedish Chef , IMO
Appreciate the Sandra Boynton joke for the tired toddler parents out here. We’re a Jackal adjacent fan group, we don’t have time to engage but it’s nice to know you remember us.
AngRo I was literally coming here to say this exact thing!
Yas!
I love the hippo books. I buy them for every new baby in my life.
I was worried about the return of the live audience but somehow Seth managed to get EVEN BETTER.
And, imo, he's the only late night host that's done an excellent job with that!!
👍
@@gentrykoda Cobert isn’t bad either
Oh for sure elect Seth as the webs most stupid democrap liberal ..
@@ranaway9307 Aww, does someone need a nap? Maybe a bottle?
Okay but seriously, Seth making fun of his quirks like saying "Anyway..." I love this so much! Making fun of yourself is my favourite kind of humour.
Have you watched his "Lobby baby?" Such a great laugh! Cheers, Seth, may you and your dear wife never be bored ;0)
That was my favorite part as well xD. Might as well link to that spot in the vid: 6:00
Big Bird: "I went to the doctor and it was a little uncomfortable but not scary!"
GOP: "PROPAGANDA!"
Right, it's a total freaking nightmare of Dantean proportions at the doctor, amirite?
@@aaronleverton4221 Can't have a children's show helping kids feel less afraid about situations they might encounter.
@@fierytopaz Oh, heck no. Then they might grow up to be well-adjusted voters.
@@aaronleverton4221 As well as, y'know, DEMOCRATS...
Well, duh. Big Bird would be bigger than any doctor!
Big bird would _mop the floor_ with Cruz
I'll put money on it
I’d buy a ticket to see that.
He couldn't even take elmo
You know how STUPID that comes off as??
“Eat him. Eat him. Eat him.”
Oh my God, the lead-up to the Swedish Chef impression was gold 🤣
True Story Bros:
When my brother was 4 years old onThanksgiving, my Mother was in the kitchen cooking. My brother came in and wanted to know what was in the oven pointing at the oven door. My mom said " I'm cooking a "Big Bird" for dinner! All hell broke loose My brother started screaming get him out, get him`out you're killing him! It took awhile to calm him down, but eventually he just wore himself out and fell asleep. The other big mistake my Mother made that day was putting the roasted turkey on the dinner table before it had been carved, then waking my brother up for dinner. When my brother got to the table, my other brother pointed at the turkey and said Look Big Bird ! The chaos started all over again. We still tease him every year about Big Bird! He doesn't remember it, but he's never been a big fan of turkey or chicken .
Brilliant. Loved the part where you told the hippo joke, obviously aware it wasn’t going to get much laughter, and just leaned in! This is what the jackals love 💕
The stare-down at the writer/showrunner was pure awesomeness.
Big Sandra Boynton fan here in Europe, treasuring my ever-dwindling roll of 'hippo, birdie, two ewes' wrapping paper.
Seth, your “Rudy” is soooo much better! That impressions workshop really worked!!!!
Rudy: "It's not my job in a fast-moving case to go out and investigate every piece of evidence given to me."
He says with arms crossed. Classic defensive body language. They really do telegraph their BS.
THIS!!
Hard to say because this is, as always, a great segment, but I think the funniest part is Seth just letting the audience know he’s going to do a Swedish Chef impersonation and then gearing up for it. 😂☠️
How long is My Pillow Mike going to be allowed to do this? This is ridiculous.
This is what happens when a history of smoking crack is no longer a total disqualifier.
Good question. What church does he belong to? I would think constantly spewing these lies they would look at seriously giving him the boot.
Freedom of speech

My non existent son thinks about Mr. Potato head and kermit the frog less than these full grown politicians, and he's supposedly 5!

@@markfairbanks3533 compared to TREE(5!)!, 5 and 120 are effectively the same number.
@@markfairbanks3533 Yes.
@@markfairbanks3533 Good one. Not enough math jokes in the world.
Seth, you are the late night GOAT, and your team is absolutely killing it. Ur intimacy with the audience and ur ease that u have found makes everything u talk about even more personal than ever. U are soo much more relaxed and in ur own. The broom closet and sea captain did u well brother. Keep it goin!!!
Aye, Seth Meyers has evolved into something special. I appreciate that you brought up The Sea Captain, who I'm particularly keen on and miss very much. Those exchanges were my favorite LNWSM moments of all time. The more absurd the comedy, the better. Seth is an absurd treasure.
P.S. Bring back The Sea Captain!!!
Seth! And crew 😊 I want to thank you all for everything you do for us - I smile widely through every segment. Just perfect. Thanks for being a part of my life.
Ted couldn’t stand up for his wife or dad to Trump, but is a tough guy with Big Bird.
To be fair, Ted’s father is a psychopath.
@@powbobs That’s no surprise but Cruz is a gutless coward who didn’t stick up for his wife when Trump called her ugly. Or did she deserve that for some reason?
@@conniescher3359 spineless
He understands Big Bird, he knows what it’s like to have someone’s hand up their yazz.
@@powbobs well, he did kill JFK, according to Trump.
If you're ever confused on who the villain is, it's the one who decided to pick a fight with a tall Muppet that teaches kids how to deal with grief and loss.
Oh, well said.
As if abandoning all the people in his state while they freeze to death as he's escaping to Cancun with his family, and then blaming his daughters for his shitty decision didn't make it obvious enough
NAILED IT.

@@ianmac3469 I would but unfortunately at this point there's obviously no reaching these people and bringing them back to reality.
Sometimes the only way I can stomach the news is with a few laughs. Thanks, Seth and Co.
Why verify evidence Rudy? You're only a Lawyer...🤦🏾♂️
That was my thought too. I instantly went "You are a LAWYER, Good Sir!" at my monitor. My god he is so _stupid._
And even if HE didn't do it...isn't he supposed to have people who do it?
Him saying that makes me wish someone would do an investigation into any and all of his previous court cases, no matter how minor they were. People like him had to have had that mindset their entire career.
As someone who only got into late night during the pandemic, i think Seth is the only late night host that has kept the chill vibe even with an audience. It honestly makes me wanna drive down to nyc to catch a show some day
Sorry to comment but i have never seen someone called ELDRITCH which i think is a nice name .
I'll always love that the Swedish Chef doesn't have hands because they forgot to make him hands and that's just how it's been since forever 🤣
"The cow says 'moo,' the sheep says 'baa,'
Three little pigs say 'ha-ha-ha...'"
(For Sandra Boynton fans.)
But what does the fox say?
Correction: Ted Cruz is pronounced: ‘asshat’
The sorta sarcastic way Seth closes with a half-bow and "this has been...a Closer Look" as if to say "you're welcome" gives me life
seth is easily the late-night host that made the most of the pandemic. his whole schtick has turned from pseudo-post-weekend update to this exhausted, no fucks given sardonic diatribe that doesn't so much break the 4th wall as urinate on the crumbling debris where a 4th wall used to exist.
There's no fourth wall in shows like this. They all talk to the audience.
@@janetbeatrice9505 True, but Seth REALLY milks that fact. The other Late Night shows have mostly returned to their pre-pandemic shticks, got their suits back on, and gone back to treating their shows as polished professional productions, while Seth on the other hand has kept the looser style of his show with frequent breaks for random tangents and jokes about the quality of his own jokes. It's a bit more meta.
@@BambiTrout Trevor kept his fro.
@@janetbeatrice9505 Thank you! 😃
Maybe what dietotaku had in mind (consciously? unconsciously? idk) is that the Republican fantasy world is basically a national public soap opera and Seth breaks the fourth wall of their performance. Although he's not part of their troupe, so he's more like a critic pointing out how bad and dangerous the show is.
@@Misses-Hippy, and his casual and his tangents and his talking to us.
The whole "if we lose, it's rigged" spiel is getting really, really tired.
But "if we win, it's also rigged...somehow"
@@BosseCory "If we win, it's rigged but we overcame the massive bias against us succeeding. Anyways, racism doesn't exist because we had a black president-"
It's the only way to motivate their base: scream "facism!" while actively undermining democracy.
Especially when audited the fraud is found with the republicans.
@@BosseCory Exactly
The "I'm making Moderna" bit is the funniest thing I've heard in a minute
Seth, never stop hosting like this - it's absolutely hilarious.
He’s the best
Yes, but in another way it's not funny. It's almost like the violent tweet from Rep Gosar put out today. Cruz is almost as much of a liar as Gosar. Who's worse?
I just want Seth to know that I am a big Sandra Boyton fan.
SANDRA BOYTON!!

Thanks for your gift of comedy I've had tragic absolutely horrible experience recently and this brought me joy
I love how the fox and friends stooge just throws the word scientifically in there to add a little zest to his blather.
You have to know that you have sunken to a new level of low when you attack Big Bird.🙄
Big Bird entered the political arena, and should expect some resistance. Is Big Bird’s’ resume as a scientist so great as to make his opinions about vaccines unassailable? Or are the trans people hiding him under their criticism-proof umbrella of outrage and tears? Lol. People are actually mad because someone dared question medical advice from a puppet show.
@@steveyj75 I guess you don't know anything of which you speak little kid, because that been happening on Sesame Street since the seventies. Why bring it up now, hmm? Oh yeah - to suit your ever-shifting agenda of the day.
apathetic marsupial Immediate ad hominem attacks. What a huge surprise. Still haven’t filled me in on Dr Bird’s medical qualifications, however.
If you had actually read my comment, you might have noticed that I didn’t even slightly question the puppet’s right to indoctrinate children,. I merely asked why his opinion is so sacred as to be immune from dissent or debate. I don’t expect a substantive or reasoned reply, because I don’t think you are capable of rationality. For example, your assertion that Sesame Street being political at present can’t be discussed because they talked about vaccination 45 years ago is laughable. Let’s extend that “logic” a little…”We can’t charge that guy with murder! He’s been slaughtering people since the seventies!”.
And yeah, I’m a little kid.
@@steveyj75 🤣🤣🤣
@@steveyj75 In fairness, they only get those criticism-proof umbrellas because they're cheaper than making any sort of actual systematic changes that might help to combat the massively higher threat of violence the trans population suffers.
I mean of you're willing to QUADRUPLE the likelihood of being violently murdered- nevermind the WAY higher chances of sexual abuse, violence, and police brutality - than you can get one to. Totally fair trade.
Also, if you think this is the first time Sesame Street has been political you are lying to yourself. You don't think it was a "political" choice when they introduced racial diversity to their shows? Or single parents? You think their attempts to be so inclusive are entirely non political? Or the way they promote certain behaviors and attitudes? It's all politics, but it's politics that honestly researches into what is good for children. Now, if all that happens to be liberal, I don't know what to tell you, but Sesame Street has never been afraid of being political to help their audience. That's what makes shows like it and Mr Roger's worth so much.
This was one of the funniest episodes yet. From the self aware “Anyways” joke to “oh I’m GONNA do it” which made me cackle with the delivery
Careful, Ted. Big Bird has friends... shady friends who hang out in alleys.
Y'all grew up watching "Seasame Street", We grew up in the Alley. . . grouches don't play! Lol

Thank you, Seth! 🤗
The "anyway" bit was way, way, way funnier than it should've been. It shouldn't have entertained me in the slightest, but dammit, it landed and landed well. Well done, somehow.
absolutely the most genuinely funny show on late night. glad they learned good lessons from the pandemic. the wacky informal weirdness still being in is the best. anyway is a great sponser
I absolutely agree!
Seth, stores in my area were already stocking Christmas items BEFORE Halloween. Even Dollar Stores had Halloween and Christmas items next to each other on shelves.
I saw someone putting lights on a tree yesterday
home depot had their halloween stuff gone and Christmas stuff out 10/15 wth
I love the way this bit has transformed. It was great originally cause it reminded me of Weekend Update, but the casual goofery makes it such an enjoyable watch. Keep it up Seth and team!!!
I love how Seth is still bringing that no audience energy
Even more so, in a way. It’s excellent!
And the casual dress! I mean suits look nice and all, but they're a little out of touch... Love this newer approach.
Absolutely!
Indubitably!
I've been saying for years that there should be a war on Christmas because we're losing ground to it every year. It's already consumed Thanksgiving and Halloween; Labor Day doesn't stand a chance.
And the right already tried to cancel the Muppets back when they made a movie where the villain was an oil baron.
good point
Don't forget that sneaky Christmas in July.
Has lost all sense of occasion. Christmas decoration next to the Halloween candy!
@Ironworks 😂
Mike Lindell impersonation gets me every time. Hilarious! Then he throws in a Rudy Giuliani and gives me the Swedish Chef! Thanks Seth Meyers. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I don’t understand how you get better and better each show. Excellent ACL tonight. Well done!
agreed, seth is on a roll!
This was a really excellent "A Closer Look."
The child at Halloween metaphor for Lindell was spot on 🤣👍
"The information isn't being ngiven to the parents it's being given directly to the children"
No, the parents are working very hard not to expose themselves to readily available medical evidence.
Some parents, it seems, are working harder to limit their exposure to accurate information on Covid vaccines than to Covid itself.
That is OK...Big Bird teaches kids how to deal with grief and loss.
Yeah, but bragging about it all over the Trump rallies gets annoying to the paid rally goers...
Thank you for "A Closer Look" I was upset about the political situation today but Seth & crew turned it around. So funny.
:D thanks for the sandra boynton shout out! 😆 i appreciated it! anyway, love late night with seth meyers!
LOVE the Sandra Boynton tangent. I read "Hippos Go Beserk" to one of my babysitting wards so many times that I can still quote most of it.
We all know why Ted came for Big Bird: he doesn’t have the balls to go for Elmo.
But, of course, when people were offended by art in a few Dr Seuss books, we were “woke” and ridiculous! When the right goes after Sesame Street for having the audacity to explain the coronavirus to our young people. God knows, after having to stay indoors and do school from home, they still have no right to understand what’s going on.
Children are required to get 4 vaccines, that protects against 8 different illnesses/diseases to enter public schools. But, God knows, ANYTHING regarding coronavirus vaccines are taboo! The hypocrisy is dripping off of them, at this point.
However, Ron DeSantis is applauded for having a 2nd grader on the local news with him talking about how masks are germy. Ridiculous nonsense.
I literally just Lol'd
@@justkaren6450 I'd like to see DeSantis in a televised debate with Big Bird...DeSantis would lose.
@@justkaren6450 the thing is, we weren't even offended. That was the publisher's own decision. It was a good decision, but I don't recall seeing Democrat politicians throwing fits demanding Dr. Zeus and potato head be changed.
I would love to see Ted have a face to face with Big Bird. Knowing Ted he would immediately start cowering and the ridiculousness of the sight would be hilarious
Oh yeah, Seth is getting his groove back. Bringing the funny forged in the isolation of the pandemic back to audiences is really working.
Big Bird has been used by Sesame Street since 1972 to calm children's fears about vaccinations. I think alot of adults can benefit from watching Sesame Street.
The right is anti educational TV, remember? They've probably never heard of Big Bird.
Yes, that video is all over the place now.
@@mrcurly1147
trump & co at some point wanted to eliminate federal funding for PBS, which is the home of Sesame Street and other educational programming.
Particularly, those adults who continue to behave as though they are in the show's chief demographic.
@@pwatson5766 They've been trying for years. They tried to deny funding to Mr. Rogers, until he testified in front of congress and his budget was expanded(great video if you haven't seen it, you can find it with a quick YT search) and Mitt Romney even campaigned as president with one of his promises to cut all funding to PBS.
Imagine getting upset over big bird
Or being an adult who follows his tweets, Ted surely must...
Takes a real loser to give any f*cks about it, tbh...🤷♂️
Oh, Ted's not upset about Big Bird. He just needs to keep stoking the outrage that constitutes the only "policy" his party has. Last week it was CRT, today it's Big Bird. Caravans are due for a repeat, maybe they'll be next.

That is all.
"Ted Cruz has the charm of a serial killer" isn't really an accurate statement. To be fair, serial killers tend to be quite charming. A more accurate statement would be, "Ted Cruz is about as charming as a dumpster fire."
