Ted Cruz Attacks Big Bird; Giuliani Admits He Didn’t Verify Election Claims: A Closer Look - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[paulkleihege]

"Oh, I'm gonna do it." is the closest thing I have heard to a comedic threat in my entire life. Hearing it, I knew you were going to hurt my ribs intentionally.

[chappieX]

"Oh, I'm gonna do it" I loved that. Your tangents and impressions make you the best late night host BY FAR

[crooker]

Seth's transformation over the covid break has been nothing short of miraculous. I love this new informal style. Well done Seth!

[fluffywrb]

"Try 'anyway' . . . Anyway!"

Absolutely NAILED the timing on that, man!

[luizasedrim]

this show only gets better! seth not wearing a suit even with an audience on set warms my heart. great work, everybody!

[kristapritz]

This show is satirical perfection. Out of all the late night shows, comics, and "news" anchors this show is by far my favorite.

[lordcaptain]

That “anyway” joke was perfect and don’t let anyone tell you different.

[rujutaparikh]

As the mom of a three year old, I fully appreciated the Sandra Boynton bit. Thank you Seth, crew and writers, you are the guiding light through these dark times. Stay safe. We love you back.

[mgebremedhin]

Seth’s writers are the best in the business. They know what he can deliver and write to it perfectly. He’s ridiculously good in this format.

[ljoyiahgray-cobbins]

3:42 “No of course not… that’s what lawyers are for. You’re just an events coordinator at a landscaping company!”

[michaeld]

I love how Seth knows exactly what we want. As soon as he said that Moderna joke I was like, alright now we gotta hear it.

[JanStrojil]

This is one of the best Closer Looks so far. The timing is spot on, love the self deprecating way the jokes are delivered. Really this show has grown so much during the pandemic.

[jodinsan]

The "not so easily triggered" right proving, _yet again, _ how easily triggered they are.

[repugnicansrevealed]

Seth, your “Rudy” is soooo much better! That impressions workshop really worked!!!!

[TF_Tony]

One of the best Closer Looks ever, in my opinion. Loving the new tone of the show, the new joke formats, the flow from one to the other, it's so fresh.

[drooskeedoo]

Seth got something really positive out of the pandemic. Dude is killing it. Fast and Loose Seth is way more enjoyable.

[oncoucharrest]

I would believe Big Bird over Cancruz, on any subject any day.

[sheilastrahan]

Two words: ON FIRE. This was an amazingly well-executed Closer Look - I laughed until I could barely breathe both during and after. Great job! And thank you for bringing much-needed humor to these times.

[henrysmith]

I love that Late Night is keeping the crew jokes.
Its cute and fun.

[NewMessage]

I have no doubt Rudy 'didn't do any vetting'.
In fact, I'm 90% sure that when someone asked if they should be vetting these claims, Rudy reminded them that he was a lawyer, and not an animal doctor.
