Late Night with Seth Meyers

[zerobatsu]

I love when Seth is able to fully indulge his “absurd SNL sketch” urges.

[chapablo]

“Hey, Seth. We just found out NBC execs are at a retreat today and won’t be watching tonight’s show…”
*Seth reaches under his desk, clicks open a secret compartment, a thin black and yellow folder now in his hands*
Seth: “It’s time.”

[olorin]

It was fun watching Meyers resist slipping into the Werner Herzog impression.

Alright, so the internet had a talk, and we all agreed this needs to become a recurring segment. Thanks.

[maria]

Props to the lighting and sound crew who elevated a good skit to an full on epic movie experience.

I appreciate Seth and the writers so much. This show really found its stride during covid and I am so happy that it has continued. It has become this perfect blend of news, interviews, and absurd, kooky humor and it is just so different from everything else on late night. I am so, so grateful. Keep it up, crew. We love you. 💜

I would have expected that to be a web exclusive 😂 Seth drank too deeply from the well of YouTube comments and has transformed into something…greater. Some might call it monstrous, but it is the monster that society needs at this turning point in history <— read in Seth’s Bee segment voice.

[silentjay]

Okay, props to whoever wrote this. That was great (and I'd watch that direct to Netflix movie). But I think we have to give a HUGE shoutout to Seth for not only not breaking during that entire thing, but just greenlighting such a segment for his show to begin with!

Now to share this with my friends!

[MyBiPolarBearMax]

I love that this inherently acknowledges that the futuristic dystopian society overrun by bee overlords is not, in fact, as bad as the “worst case scenario” of Republicans winning in the fall.

[lauram]

Now this is what I want in my news based entertainment. If you aren’t warning me of such possibilities, are you really doing your jobs? Thank you Seth and team for your continued high quality work!

[juliaconnell]

ok, what was that??? this was *AWESOME* - I would hope this would be a recurring segment, but I don't think there is any way to top that. well played Mr Myers, well played 👏👏👏🐝

[Smilley]

They should do an alternative segment with "One without bees", where the majority of crop plants don't get pollinated, and therefore don't bear fruit or seeds. Massive, global famine leads to a war for the last Graham Cracker, then we are all saved by the emergence of a new pollinator, the humble hummingbird. All hail Lord Hummingway!

[EatinPaste]

The transitions into and out of the *_bees_* segments were frigging great!

[Chris-dzfn]

I love the Bees bit!!! my favorite aspect of this show is when the sketches or bits paint a comically vivid picture of a fictional character, too much detail is always funny! :)

[whydidmyhandlechangefromAlice]

I think Seth was _really_ traumatized by those bees in his attic during the lockdown.

[anahata]

I am overflowing with gratitude for your boundless weirdness and the sheer insanity of your writing staff.

As a jackal, I could remark that maybe some of those bees looked like a murmuration of starlings.
I could.
But I won't.
Because this segment was just so, so right.

[mikecif]

As a hobbiest beekeeper I must say that I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords!

[katkatattack]

This was the best thing I have seen in YEARS. I laughed so hard, my dog got worried I was choking...PLEASE make this a recurring bit!!!

[steve-rusy]

10/10 Some of the best comedy writers alive today are on this show

[The_Serpent_of_Eden]

Oh wow, Graphics outdid themselves on Henry.

I wanted five straight minutes of the Bee doom. But I wasn't not disappointed. I love Seth's slow descent into madness!
