Late Night with Seth Meyers

Ted Cruz “sounds like hot dog water smells” is one of the greatest lines I have heard!

[fathercadi]

What does loyalty to this man even get you in return? Especially when he wouldn't bat an eye throwing you under the bus.

[lw]

Yes, as soon as I saw the Jan 6th hangman's noose upon the gallows, my first thought was: "That looks like a normal tourist visit".

[JamesJames-qorw]

Its nice to stick around till the end sometimes just to hear someone say "we love you"

[australien]

it's true, as a tourist I always scale the walls of government buildings to gain access.

[pudgeboyardee]

I was a tourist to the rotunda when i was 17 and nobody was carrying furniture away like people did on jan 6. I saw a distinct difference in behavior. When i accidentally took a flash photo with a disposable camera(it was a long time ago) the Capitol police took it and crushed it because he wasnt busy being crushed himself. Big difference

[propellhatt]

Holy hell, Mitch McConnell's smile is made of nightmares.

[Darbysmommy]

I swear Seth and his fellow late night hosts have all really come into their own during the pandemic. The way they interact with the crew in the room vs the audience, their casual wear and longish hair, the way they seem more spontaneous and like they are truly enjoying themselves has made watching all of them pure joy. And for helping us viewers get through the dark days of trump they are to be applauded. So thank you Seth M, Trevor N, Stephen C, John O, and Jimmy K.

“He sounds the way hot dog water smells.”

Why is that so accurate?

[peterprinz]

God damn! Ruuuudy!" is right up there with "Me Maw." Always makes me laugh out loud!

[brunofichtner]

Goddamn!? People died during the capitol insurrection, is that a normal day of tourism??

[pimphandduke]

No lie, if you see Mitch McConnell smiling like that at the end of a dark hallway at night, you're done for.

[feebeedoc]

Mitch McConnell attempting a human smile is the creepiest sight ever.

[gregoryhryniewicki]

Thank you #Seth I suffer from HIV but thankfully my immune system responded like magic Johnsons. Thank you for helping those like me who are less fortunate ❤💜💙💚💛🧡

[itsthatbrownboiilite]

I hope that after we start going out like we did pre pandemic Seth doesn’t stop wearing casual wear. I like that he’s comfortable.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

― George Orwell, 1984

[saoirsedonnelly]

At 6:25 McConnell briefly smiles and it’s absolutely horrifying. Like Palpatine trying to smile

[sarahj]

"His presidency was a once-in-a-century catastrophe"
Is that a promise? I'm asking on behalf of the rest of the world.

[roseannsullivan]

Seth please never stop with A Closer Look, you are the best voice of sanity and we need you badly. Thank goodness someone has the courage and intelligence to speak up. I am so proud to be from N.H. too.

[tommyt]

Cruz uses the word “vindictive”. He’s one to talk, esp belonging to a party that used every bit of vindictive behavior they could when Carter, Clinton and Obama were in office and vindictive tactics to make their constituency and themselves richer.
