Narcissists can't accept that they're not perfect. It hits too close to their insecurity. It's psychologically far easier for them to manufacture conspiracies and persecutions.

Fox News is living proof of the wonderful saying: "Victory has many, many parents, but Defeat is always an orphan, " Terrific segment, Seth Meyers. One of the very best. Thanks!

[Valerie-mzet]

This segment was beautiful! Laughed hard multiple times! Great job writers, Seth, and even Wally!

[kathybriggs]

Aren't we all so happy right now? Love the single ladies! No ring for me. And congratulations to Gen z for making things happen. So glad to get to see the smile on Seth's face in this one.

[whitneymouse]

As a single woman, I gagged when Jesse Watters said "it's time to fall in love." 🤢I'm good being single and having morals

[mvvpro]

Seth's performances during this whole episode in American history should be preserved as a work of art.

[christinestack]

Put a ring on it!? OMG🤦🏻 Maybe come up with any policies that don't turn our country back 50+ years!

[msxcitement]

I am proud of our American citizens who showed they won’t be tampered with. Take a bow and be proud!!❤

[shermanculbertson]

There’s no way I would’ve made it even close to this point in the year without Seth. Thanks for always making us laugh, smile, and be able to deal with crazy world.

[brownkemosabe]

For 7 years now I've been watching Seth on Late Night, while having lived in the US and in India and it still gets me through every day

[evaheetebrij]

As A Gen-Z voter, what an absolute JOY to be the rain on Fox new's parade of griping

[placefantasy]

The “da. BeArs.” Bit was so funny to me I was in tears. I don’t follow sports but the line delivery was just so good.

[VoiceOfIrrationality]

"Mike Lindell always talks like he's being forced to write a science fiction novel at gunpoint." -- whoever wrote that line, give them a bonus.

[laras]

Thank you for being a voice of calm, a source of humor and community, and keeping me sane the last 5 years. Here's hoping the next 5 are better. Thanks, Seth!

[alanhindle]

Holy cats, Meyers, that was the most packed sixteen minute set I've ever seen a comic do. Utter brilliance.

[herbertotto]

Back in the days of "how will we possibly survive this Trump era?" my Sister, Sandy told me she watched Seth's "Closer Look" every night - to keep perspective - and keep from going bat-sh*t crazy.
She encouraged me to do the same. Sandy would be 80 yrs old now. I miss her a lot ! She was my favorite political friend - helped keep me sane. I shared back the wonderful Videos created by Randy Rainbow - my favorite remains "Sedition". His videos also helped keep me going during the Covid lock-down period.
Thanks Seth ! It's been a wild, bumpy ride. I will remain a loyal fan - as I move toward my 77th birthday next month. 😊

[billturner]

One of the best Closer Looks yet, and I have not seen a bad one. Seth and the crew totally nailed this one. 👏👏👏

[lisab]

This was maybe the best of all Closer Look bits of all time. Seth, you and the writers nailed it.

[chazblank]

They are so bitter that we hate him so much… they triggered us so bad we stayed motivated through a goddamn mid-term

[Rjsjrjsjrjsj]

Tell ya what I love, when someone says "such and such is obviously smart because they're wealthy" I just say "so how do you explain Mike Lindell?" Gets 'em every time. 😎
