For as long as Amy's in New York, bring her back once a week for a news recap. This was wonderful.

[@JoshuaWillis89]

Honestly, he should just give Amy his job for a little while. I love her so much. She should host!

[@totalt6600]

Absolutely.

[@mikewhite4560]

DISAGREE. In their own space LOVE THEM BOTH 💕 This seems like a RANDOM PODCAST....

[@irishbob26]

More of this. Less of everything else.

[@fitztastico]

Yes!

[@barbararoden2757]

These two are so warm and funny and natural together, and listening to them just riff off each other is like eavesdropping on two old friends who are perfectly in sync. It was 18 minutes and I could have listened to them for two hours. Can someone let them do something like Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's 'The Trip'? I would watch the heck out of that.

[@renejean2523]

Yeah, nicely said, Barbara. As natural as it gets. And I LOVE that 'The Trip' idea. If they do their thing anything like Steve and Rob, it would be pure joy. If you like Rob, have you been watching Rob's interviews on his channel on KZbin? Again, he's a natural and they're more like Zoom calls between friends. Some good guests too.

OMG i love this comment and was thinking the exact same thing!

[@brendag2891]

FYI, "Hmong" is pronounced "mung" (the H is silent). I live just down the road from Suni Lee, and realize this community is pretty unique to the Twin Cities (and Eau Claire, Wisconsin) so I'm glad some attention was brought to us nationally, too bad it was overshadowed by all the other Olympics news. It was fun to go to the "welcome home Suni" parade in St Paul last week.

[@DIYDazzleNails]

i saw her all over social media! i don't think she was overshadowed, she was def shining as she should

[@brendag2891]

@@DIYDazzleNails she WAS definitely shining! Just the national coverage of the woman's gymnastics team, when all the girls were being interviewed, Simone Biles got all the talking time, and Suni got barely any. The interviews with Suni alone were really great!

[@beckythao9820]

Thank you for sharing and correcting!! Still love Amy!!! ALL looove!!

[@brendag2891]

@@beckythao9820 me, too, Amy is 👍 great!

[@brendag2891]

@ADDHOMI Seth Meyers has a KZbin segment called Corrections, and it is Emmy nominated. If the person he was interviewing mispronounced his show and called it "8 Night" and forgot to add the "L," it would be appropriate to comment in KZbin. This is the only way I know of to submit a correction, and growing up a mile away from Suni Lee's family, I am quite familiar with the pronunciation of Hmong and was just surprised that other communities had never heard of the students who made up 80 percent of the schools here. When they reported on George Floyd, they didn't mispronounce his name as Lloyd. That happened in the next town over. It was really a good thing for our community to have a good medal Olympic gymnast to celebrate.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Amy's on TWICE in three weeks?!? We're not worthy!!!

[@unmeshl.6708]

Ah, so this is why we don't have Closer Look today. Fine, you are forgiven.

[@Jackal-ML2024]

Please keep doing these perfect conversations with your friends! This is the actual best!

[@The_Green_Queen]

Sorry to say it, but these two need a podcast

[@michaelvilain8457]

I gotta say Amy's film MOXIE on Netflix is terrific. I'm so glad she did something about those teen movies and the toxic masculinity they promote

[@kaitlinlee224]

I keep on forgetting to watch this even as a big Amy fan. Thanks for reminding me.

[@valeriemoran842]

You are right! I saw Moxie and LOVED IT!!

[@dianaclark3698]

This conversation feels so natural and wholesome. I love it.

This segment was great-- two people chiding the ridiculousness in the world, shooting the breeze, relaying their thoughts on matters in an environment that encourages it. More, please!

For this week's corrections: it's orangutan not orangutang. Just saying.

[@fomoran]

Where do you stand on pronouncing it as a nod to the original language?

[@Hellwyck]

It's Malay and means "Person Of The Forest".

[@fahmizzzzzz]

Seth is pronouncing it like a person from the state of Terengganu in Malaysia would pronounce it

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Technically, the stomach is an organ within the belly. Anybody trying to touch MY stomach had better be performing surgery that I authorized beforehand.

[@oddsnends3446]

Yeah, I was thinking that if he was touching her stomach, he'd be way too close to her breasts. Not that lower is better. 🤢 People should just say, "abdomen" so that they don't sound like fools. 😉

[@egrace3738]

Nerd!! 🙃

[@mariefarrell7380]

This is exactly what I was thinking! But it was a quote from Cuomo and he’s a moron 😂 He probably has tried to reach down a throat to touch a stomach.

[@lancefromohio]

When he started talking about the sloth not knowing which latenight show it was I realized that gun to my head I have no idea when this show is on or what network. I've only ever watched it on youtube. For at least 5 or 6 years.

[@es_is_fresh06]

Haha for real. I did watch it on tv a couple of times. It used to come on after stephen colberts late night show

[@Cwn41]

At first I didn't get what that meant . and now I'm assuming it's the band. And I cant remember what late night show the Roots are on . Wow .

Surplus animal taken out in front of kids at the zoo. Wonderful stuff.
