Late Night with Seth Meyers

[OriginalGabriel]

I can't believe there was no love for "Happy!" in this; absolutely outstanding performance, and a brilliant show.

[wahooray]

Meloni is a sweetheart and a gentleman, but hes also got super villain vibes going on. Which in all honesty is pretty rad.

[Anne--Marie]

He looks so handsome when he smiles! It's nice to see him being unserious (not a real word).

[jlbueno]

He as the tow truck driver in Harold and khumar will always be one of the best cameos ever. This guy has range !!! 🙌🏻

[LaGuerre]

This man was able to make a conversation with "A Can of Mixed Vegetables" funny.

[kristenhansen]

Don't forget his greatest role as detective Nick Sacks
in "Happy".

[Bluecat]

Omg- always thought SVU was great but him in “Happy” confirmed that he has a fantastic sense of humor.

[jdspencer]

"Christopher Meloni as Tony Bologna in....The Vigilogni" - Classic bit from the Daily Show

[richardevans]

Loved his acting in "Happy" too.

[WalkingmanPattaya]

Man, always great to see Christopher. Great job Seth and Late Night writers and staff
Elliott Stabler growing older on Law and Order is the best man, Even more chiseled and bad ass

[LateNightwithStudBuyers]

That first club pic immediately made me think of Fear and Loathing, in which he also had a small, fantastic role.

Do more comedy, Meloni!

[annemarie]

Seth didn't even mention Meloni playing the lead in the delightfully sick and twisted show Happy!

[Tao_Tology]

Meloni.

I will never not be sad there was no season 3 of Happy.

[kellifranklin]

Meloni is following in the footsteps of Sean Connery. The older he gets the better looking he gets!

[GothDogs]

Seth, you said you were going to play the McDonald's commercial twice.

[amandah]

His show Surviving Jack was one of the best comedies and it's a damn shame it only lasted 8 episodes.

[mmmrose]

Love Christopher Meloni ❤ great actor great personality gorgeous family

[GrantKanigan]

He’s one of the greats. His performance in “Wet Hot American Summer” is incredible

[xtopheralanfoster]
