Nailed the cackle Seth. Nailed it. It has, in fact, motivated me to sign up for your impression camp once online registration is back on.

[francescaa]

Seth's Tucker laugh! Gets me every time. 😆

[dbone]

As a Canadian, I just want to say how proud I am that we are on his list. He's on mine as well, so, we're even. Glad to know the feeling is mutual.

The "He's not the one who knocks" joke was great. Not getting the reference and a joke not being good are two different things.

[EinlionRaigaa]

Tucker talking about truth when his Lawyers went on the record stating that no sensible person would consider what he says to be true...

[dancoburn]

I love how Seth started talking to the writers during the pandemic when they returned to the studio but the writers were the only audience. And he just keeps it going as a running gag. Brilliant!

[MrJackWorse]

That Rupert Murdoch impression will never get old. Love it!

[antigonemerlin]

What's really interesting is that the board members apparently are also discovering the texts for the first time. As it turns out, for large unwieldy entities like governments and corporations, the best way to learn something about yourself is to ask your enemies.

Sometimes watching A Closer Look while eating lunch is dangerous. I could hardly masticate, I was laughing so hard.

[heartofdawn]

Tucker talking about fearing your neighbors is a large part of the trend of people opening up on strangers who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Fear mongering costs lives.

[TheonTinker]

"If I cut it, how will you learn your lesson?" Hilarious!!

[annaraven]

😂 my husband and I loved the "one who doesn't knock" joke. Best joke this week.

[kathyballes]

God, I’m still wiping the tears from yesterday’s Closer Look

[janee]

Love your show Seth -keep it up - you were a mainstay during the pandemic madness. please keep making us laugh .

[bukketkid]

😂"proof of life video" 🤣🤣 the video just started and I'm dying already

[garycpriestley]

Seth gets FAR too much joy out of his Rupert impersonations 😆🤣 As an Aussie, frankly I'm really impressed 👏

[SteveLastname]

Tucker: The iron law is that true things prevail

Also Tucker: Truth can barely be found anywhere

[CluelessClozie]

Seth roasting his writers on air is one of my favorite things 😂

[cosmicphoto]

Seth to Sal: "If I cut it, how will you learn your lesson?" Oh my God! 🤣

[sudarg]

Honestly that Kraemer joke about breaking bad about how he is NOT the one who knocks is straight GOLD
