Late Night with Seth Meyers

[star]

Boy, every time I finally acclimatize to the last level of scary, America digs deep and finds a NEW WORSE LEVEL OF SCARY.

[Jenny_Oblivion]

Seth, thank you for saying something meaningful. Many politicians have said things like ‘this is not American’, but it is, unfortunately

[philosopherking]

This monologue was pitch perfect. It was compassionate, respectful, and honest about still criticizing what needs to be criticized. Simply great writing.

Hey Seth. The last month has been filled with nothing but the tragic degrading of the pillars of this country I love. I’ve been in a panic for the last few days from all the worry.

The speech at the start of this episode really helped ground me. It’s exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you Seth

[tenaciouspmac]

I like how during this whole heartfelt speech, an Andy Samberg doll is just in the corner saying "My Doink Fell Off!"

With all the law enforcement there, plus the secret service they couldn't protect one man. Yet they expect teachers to arm themselves to protect the children.

[robertclark-mgiu]

Cannon has been looking for a reason to dismiss this case from the very beginning and thanks to Clarence Thomas' unsolicited opinion, she now has one. They should both be dismissed from their positions as judges.

[shyshybrown]

Its so funny because i can see How Corrections has affected Seth, he fumbles on a word and is immediately trying to correct himself because he can hear the jackals already

[kyerinbennett]

My grandfather was a Diné Navajo Code Talker during World War 2, he never said this is what I did etc all he asked that we: “keep this land going for the good of our people. Take care of what we have protected for the young ones, take care of this land, it is the good holy land and you will never get it back when it’s gone!”

[bananatanger]

Thanks, truly, for the sanity. I was so relieved you weren’t on hiatus this week.

[holly]

Thank you, Seth and all the rest of the

[jaydubs]

Wild that a late night host can articulate a heartfelt message better than both current presidential candidates

[bweresquirrel]

Well said, Seth. Keep doing the good work of telling the truth and helping us laugh.

[Beth-zggb]

Thank you, Seth, for being a voice of reason, calm, and patriotism during these disturbing turbulent times. Really appreciate your insight and wisdom! 👍

[alanwatterson]

So J D Vance is calling out Biden for saying the exact same things he has said about Trump.🙄

[DockyardDiva]

Love you Seth. I'm here, your next door neighbor, in Canada, and I'm freaking out . Keep me chuckling, please

[Facetiously.Esoteric]

I have exactly as much sympathy for him as he had for Paul Pelosi and the Iowa families after the attack on their children.
I think his quote is:
"But have to get over it, we have to move forward, ”.

[GoogleUser-wfbn]

"When times are bad you're choosing to make things worse".

The word is 'exploit'.

[eringeoffrion]

It’s times like the first five minutes of this that make me proud to be a fan. Thank you, Seth and writers.

[seffishestopal]

I appreciate Seth's heartfelt words at the beginning of Tonight's A closer Look. We really need that in times like this.
