I just want all of this to be over. I can't do this anymore.

I hate this timeline.

[chrisjags]

Damn, Seth's on fire in this one. The "I've had enough of this sh*t" energy is real

[siskiyoucrest]

I just honestly never thought that when fascism arrived it would be wrapped in a Big Mac wrapper with a poopy diaper. What a weird world.

[curiousnerdkitteh]

"Take your manchild to work day" was such a great one! 😂

[ImperfectXIII]

0:14 I felt that sigh, Seth. It's the sigh we've all had at one point.

[TheMonroemomma]

I can see your exhaustion and deep concern. I know how rotten I feel, I can only imagine how absolutely saturated you and your staff are. Thank you for doing your very important work of keeping millions of people momentarily distracted and entertained. Hugs to you!

[hopeandpeace]

Do you realize how crazy this all sound for the rest of the world
What an EMBARRASSMENT

[TranscendianIntendor]

For this one Seth Meyers and his crew deserve an Emmy or whatever award they could give for brilliance. I'm proud to have just watched it.

[shermanculbertson]

Saying “Hitler did some good things” should be disqualifying for any office, especially that of president.

[SpaceForceCommander]

Being a teacher, Walz is very accurate with descriptive words like "weird" and "dipsh!t".

[seffishestopal]

I really felt that sigh from Seth at the beginning. I've been like that for years now.

[Happymali]

I love that the fake customers they had at his McD-Stunt were Trump-Fans picked by his staff, and even they got a tad weirded out by his questions.

[thehellyousay]

"my hands are nice and clean." not according to the law ...

[yeoshow]

John Kelly, a man who’s given everything for his country, speaking out against a draft dodger who’s only ever asked, 'What’s in it for me?' It’s a sobering reminder of the stark contrast between true service and self-serving ambition.

[Morndue]

Yeah, I learned to shovel fries when I was 15. Nobody gave me a Fry Certificate like he got. What a jerk.

[Omisade-krre]

For anyone to pretend that working one day at McDonalds is equal to having to work there to pay your bills is disrespectful ASF!

[LillikoiSeed]

Keep going Seth. We truly need you these last two weeks. We’ll stay if you will.

[sebastienbusque]

The sigh that was heard across the world...

[JohnJosephBurhop]

One of the best Closer Look's yet. 👍

[samibershadscky]

“Surely you don’t mean Hitler, right?”
“I do, and don’t call me Shirley”
