Trump Addresses the Nation on the Coronavirus Pandemic: A Closer Look- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

I gotta say, this casual vibe is really what I think a lot of us needed. It doesn't feel like you're playing for prestige in front of a huge audience, it feels like you're playing for a worried and isolated crowd at home, just because that's what you do.

Really appreciate it, and gonna miss ya.

“Racism is a terrible moisturizer.”- Seth Meyers 2020

"All jokes aside, he's a terrible person."
If that's not on Trump's tombstone, I'd be disappointed.

If Sarah Palin singing "Baby Got Back" (and in that outfit no less) isn't a horseman of the apocalypse, I don't know what is.

[katherynemero]

Seth Meyers should continue to do "A Closer Look" from his living room. Seriously, I don't care where they do it from. Let the writers do a conference call and whatever, man.

[Whateva]

for real tho: a pandemic really does highlight the problems within the USA and shows that people in power wont change it unless it benefits them personally

[USUG]

please keep the show going behind closed doors. We need some distraction, and above all actual information to contrast the flood of lies coming from this administration

[TroyEagan]

I actually really appreciate the candid feel of this. Typical that it's the late night comics that get tone right.

Level of emergency: late night show host without a suit and a tie.

[blackbird]

Jeezus this just keeps getting worse, now we won't even have Seth's show for a Closer Look! Amber Says WHAT???!!! -real tears here people, real tears.

[victoriabernuth]

Oh Seth & Staff, for those of us needing to self -isolate, you are the best medicine!

[AussieAviator]

No more audience in talk shows, this is real people, stay safe.

[enjaypy]

Seth Meyer's A Closer Look was a more presidential speech than anything that's ever come out of Trump's mouth.
Thank you Seth. Come back soon ok?

[scottr]

This clip with essentially no audience was like a podcast. I actually liked the format - Seth was still able to carry the time, capture my attention, educate and entertain, but with a much more intimate and 'real' vibe. Stay safe everyone, and try to help everyone else get through this the best you can.

[kaitlyn]

I come back to this clip often. It reminds me of past times the good and bad.

[aurares]

it’s really a testament to seth’s skills as a comedian and the strong writing when he’s able to make us (at home) laugh without the studio audience to cushion him

[marushkoelliotrriot]

I hope that there’s somehow a possibility to still get the closer look. It really kept me sane and gave me hope.

[stephanie]

PLEASE! Keep doing A Closer Look remotely. I just cannot deal with everything that’s going on AND losing you. 😫😷

[smariesman]

I'm chinese and i legit just LOL'ed at the Mah Jong joke. you slay me

[blinkgirlVM]

The only reason I clicked so fast was because Seth was not wearing a suit lol I knew something was wrong
