Willie Geist Discusses His Surprising Interview with Ron DeSantis - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

I enjoy watching and listening to Willie Geist. He’s thoughtful, considerate, and also seems to be just a decent human.

[bigginsd]

The sweetest sound you can hear when watching Morning Joe is “Joe isn’t on today’s show.” Hearing Wille, Mika and the rest of the panel discuss events without his blathering is actually very engaging.

Sunday Today highlights Willie's serious interview skills along with the kindness of Highs and Lows (where everyone's a high) and A Life Well Lived.
I enjoy it every Sunday.

Willie Geist is intelligent. I hope he gets to host his own show on MSNBC.

[ismith]

THEY ARE 45 YR OLD CHILDREN!! 😂 Baron must be so proud of his step siblings. Good luck kid.

[aprilcalhoun]

I appreciate the adult conversation in this interview. A discussion about politics should be mature and intelligent. It’s a serious subject that should not be exploited for soundbites.

[brianborhanian]

How wonderful, and so pleasing to see this beautiful interview

[TheMonroemomma]

Willie is the very best part of morning Joe. I detest Joe Scarborough and his caveman ways. I only watch it for Willy and Jonathan.

[cmwildey]

I was there and took a picture with Henry Winkler

[einienj]

DeSatan has to be the most awkward politician I've seen in awhile.. he just can't human.

[sweett]

I liked * Way too early w Willie* it was my favorite.

[nena]

Willie has such a level, kind demeanor. I could see how even Desantis could become more vulnerable and less combative in his presence.

Hate to be a Jackel, but there is no age limit for AARP. You can become a member any time.

[hellshade]

most people don't know that willie geist has a brother named polter geist...

[ewqjbgq]

Question wasn't this the same line up of senate seat chair holders as last year?

[dyskover]

If you think Bootsy is non combative, you haven't checked his private army development.

[genozuzek]

God..that transition from Henry Winkler to Ron DeSantis...that is a big gap to jump.

[NewMessage]

I'm honestly waiting for Ronnie to break down and just stress cry through an interview. For like 20 minutes straight.

[reneekad]

Should be a win with me given a bunch if it’s about me.

You wanna keepbirtight: talk to him like it’s over - no mo.

You wanna be serious guys: ask him a bout his policies. Ignore the boots - leave that to snoozemax.
