Seth's Story: Seth Doesn't Get Recognized on the Ferry- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[RemiStardust]

Props to Seth. It takes some humility for a talk-show host to tell a story like this on the air.

[gemmaskate]

I love that Seth is humble but fully aware that he's famous. It gets annoying when people downplay their success

[fidorover]

"Wait, what do I know you from?"
-- _Seth's son's running gag every time he sees his dad for the next 18 years_

if i ever was close enough to seth meyers to hold a conversation with him, i would jump into his arms and never let go.

[RedStefan]

"Continued success to you!" - That bit killed me 😂

[winterswept]

It's been so long since I've seen a Seth's story on here I forgot they were a thing. Always my favorite part of the show.

[cookiesncream]

Lol the first guy. "I'm a huge fan but I have no idea who the hell you are!" 😂😂😂😂😂

[muddycolor]

If I ever meet Seth in real life I will just pretend I don't know him while making references to his show and see how he reacts. Like, so you're a comedian, have you ever had a really good joke that you can't say because you're a straight white man? or hey that's a nice shirt, mind if I take a closer look?

[zbeebs]

I have problems remembering names as it is, but if I run into someone outside the normal context I would see them (like seeing a coworker in the grocery store) my brain just has no chance - "gah, I recognize him. Why do I recognize him? What's his name...panic, panic, panic!". So, yeah, if I ran into Seth Meyers in real life my reaction would probably be similar, even though I'm a big fan.

[vannn]

Seth is going to be in DC next month. Hope I run into him so I can recognize him. 😊

[labarians]

I'd like to start an awkward conversation with him too, that would be super fun.

[bluesdjben]

Oh, so that's who the guy is in these videos I've been watching!

[silverpurkat]

I would have died laughing as his wife!!! LOL!

[ashfuller]

America, Canada and certain parts of South America are the only places he's likely to be recognised. I live in the UK and I doubt anyone over here has heard of him, hell we sent James Corden to the US so we could unrecognise him

[irdeaner]

You were a white guy going to Martha's Vineyard. All white guys going to Martha's Vineyard kind of look the same.

[littlemyers]

I saw him at Martha’s Vineyard this year, he was jogging on road

[sonnybaez]

Keep it up Seth! You're doing great! xD

[cristinanakadsoprano]

That kid at the Ferry was John Mulaney

[abbytsistinas]

What 18 year old says sentences like that lol

[colleenever]

Can it BE?! He's NOT doing 'A Closer Look' tonight? Somebody take his temperature!
