Late Night with Seth Meyers

I really enjoy the liturgical consistency of JSCT. It's comforting to know the structure will be exactly the same each time and helps it be funnier.

[SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

I like that they finally found one joke Seth CAN tell and they can all laugh - 'Hey Jenny, what if you were wearing a skirt?'

[dbo]

I really enjoyed Seth singing "black women and lesbians are liars" like he was performing the first number for his musical journey about a man who was wrongfully cancelled after he was set up by a foul mouthed knitter that he tricked using an elaborate long haul con into making him a sweater.

when it first came up, I almost commented “…straight women don’t keep their keys on carabiners…? then where do they keep their hair ties” and tHEN THE CALLBACK 😂😭 I feel so exposed

[johanvajse]

"mixed feelings park" made me chuckle

[KaliKat]

This segment is where I learn why everyone in my high school thought I was a lesbian. I suspected it was the combat boots but the carabiner may have done me in xD

[MarceldeJong]

"just a suggestion" holy crap that joke is dark

[potentialsideeffects]

Gotta love how this bit always ends the exact same way.

[gabriellecrichlow]

It's nice to see them physically close to each other again!

[AlexisAndre]

Ok, not going to lie, it was hilarious. Doing it without an audience is amazing :D

[dbo]

"they met at the start of the first quarter" lmfao

[chloepeifly]

oh my goodness, last night i was JUST thinking “they haven’t done jokes seth cant tell in awhile, i miss that segment” and i just woke up to this :)

[missmamie]

Funny stuff. Seth's delivery is phenomenal, and I love the way he credits his writers.

[missreneeu]

BEST comment section on YouTube... Full of ppl who can actually enjoy a joke. We laugh together, we're all different, and it's called UNITY. It's not that hard 🤣

[kuchikopi]

Jenny: Are your keys on one of these?
Me: Lol yeah
Jenny: and then I hang this on my belt loop.
Me:...looks down at belt loop. 😳😂

[mrjamesbenton]

So glad to have this segment back. It feels like it has been too long. I need the chemistry of these 3 at least once a month, greedily I want it every week!

[opaladwyl]

I’m not black, or lesbian, but I’m a woman and love when this is in the rotation!!

[andrewjohnson]

Amber having her own show and still killing it on Seth’s.

[EveryCrazyDay]

Ongoing bits like this and online exclusives like Corrections make me 100% sure Seth has to replace Fallon sooner than later. He’s got so much more to say and it’s hilarious.

[EthanKristopherHartley]

I've finally figured out why I love this segment so much. I'm sick of hearing (mostly straight, white, male) comedians complaining that "you can't say anything these days" and up in arms about "free speech" (without consequences) and "Cancel Culture".

Jokes about race, sexuality, gender, disability and so many other issues are absolutely fine. I find many of them funnier than political/satirical jokes. BUT, it's vital that they're delivered in a way that's not belittling or punching down.

Another great example of this is the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (#GNUTerryPratchett), so maybe it's time that John Cleese, Ricky Gervais and the like started listening...
