He's one of my favorite hosts. He doesn't even have to make jokes, he's just very likable and comes across as genuine.

[@DMRJ53]

Tx Lee he’s got a great laugh too

[@karenp792]

Michael Sweeney Putting aside the trolling, ridiculous race-baiting comment... explain the failure part?

[@theeleanorshellstrop]

Yeah, it’s why I like him and John Mulaney, too! They feel/seem very likeable

[@goldwincs]

He's probably one of the most underrated among talk show hosts imo. I'm glad he made a stand-up special.

[@DMRJ53]

goldwincs he’s a doll.

[@JoeCnNd]

He's a great interviewer but he over Trumps stuff, I'm tired of the Political comedy.

[@robin31165]

Have you seen lobby baby yet? I’m assuming so but if not you are guaranteed an hour of laughter!

[@DMRJ53]

Robin Parker yes. It was hilarious

[@roonil3931]

he is, by far, the best host. Across all time slots.

[@chrissiek8706]

Seth is one of the best interviewers on late shows - polite, engaging, no fake laughing, no talking over a guest, no rushing. And Closer Look, damn, that's actual journalism, and news with comedy are less depressing (just a spoonful of sugar 🎶... 😅). As i already know The lobby baby story itself (it was such a joy to hear him tell it, just out of hospital, still with the father's bracelet 🥰), can't wait to find some timw to watch entire stand up special 😊

[@JoRiver11]

Agreed! He is my favourite late night interviewer. And I like his slightly corny style.

[@themripley]

Whether you like his stand-up or his talk show Seth was head-writer at SNL when it was in one of it's strongest eras. That has to count for something. Also, he should get credit for using Amber Says What, Jokes Seth's Can't Tell and What Does Karen Know to give a platform to a diverse group of writers.

[@whereforeartthoume6459]

People, he's a writer. You kinda have to admit that he's a good one at that, for he was the head writer for one of the best runs of snl. Maybe his delivery or his style isnt up to your standards, but he has talent in what he does.

[@justincoleman3805]

I didn’t even say anything.

[@mikaylaonline]

Love this! Seth is one of my favorite writers, performers, and comedians. He’s got so much talent and isn’t afraid to share the spotlight. I’m a FAN

[@VictorRochaGaming]

He's a great stand up comedian. I saw him three or four years ago and was surprised how good he was. Killer jokes. Great timing. A real pro. Met him after the show. A nice guy too.

[@ninabumanglag7917]

It's because I had a huge crush on Seth I ended up watching SNL. I Iove how mature his jokes are, very very smart guy.

[@AnaLongoriaXX]

“Lobby Baby” is easily one of the funniest, reales, most genuine comedy specials I’ve ever seen. Please bring him back, this man is brilliant!

[@nathanbennett284]

This is a great series! MORE PLEASE!!!

[@happygringa]

seth naming global brands and not including netfl*x .... the power he wields

[@user-qn4tq2qt5m]

His voice is so soothing Gotta love Seth 😍

[@misst6196]

I adore Seth Meyers. So funny and smart and seems like a genuinely nice guy!

[@TheRolexseller]

Lol on the animation of the Monty Python Holy Grail Ps he is the funniest late night show host on the air

[@maeomalley5001]

OBSESSED with seth meyers

[@n.p.2653]

I love Seth

[@ricopaulson1]

After Lorne retires I really hope it's Seth who takes over SNL. He gets it.....he is SNL second only to Lorne as far as longevity with being a writer there.

[@rucha_s]

I find him really funny

[@N.Jersey]

Love Seth, and his special was really good!!!

[@Gunman610]

I'd love to see this be a series.

[@SN-xw5bv]

Thank you for all the laughs Merry Christmas and happy new year Sir Seth

[@flala2261]

Really like Seth

[@jonasjaagur9635]

Seth Meyers is a good host, because he likes to talk to people and get to know them better.

[@lumilara]

My fave comedian🤗

[@Gunman610]

Sesame Street has always featured a surprising amount of adult humor that went over kids' heads. My favorite was Cookie Monster eating cookies and counting them down until he had none. Cookie bemoans that he no longer has a number of cookies, so Guy Smiley comes by and tells him that zero is a number, so he has zero cookies. Cookie eats the "zeroeth" cookie, then says...and I'll never forget this..."Tastes great. Less filling." That kind of adult humor is like the "Fingerprints" joke on Animaniacs.

[@robin31165]

I LOVE you Seth! ❤️ I love your comedy, I love your attitude, I love how polite you are to everyone (even those who you disagree with a LOT) & let’s face it, I love your face 🥰

[@erikatanaka6715]

Is nobody going to mention his third foot at 5:34?

[@roeimagz8202]

I super love his stand up special!

[@brookiebarker-troutt3998]

💓💓💓💓💓Setheeeeeeee 🌈💛👍🌲☁✌🎶😍

[@glenntilson6509]

I'm amazed that Lobby Baby is his first special. It's incredibly assured and well-realised. Not to mention using technology to hilarious effect.

[@StinkyPeteThePirate]

Cartoon Seth looks like cartoon Conan.

[@StinkyPeteThePirate]

Now that I think about it you almost never see the two cartoons together...

[@ezradensley4738]

StinkyPeteThePirate big foreheads

[@orchdork775]

Yes!!!!

[@samanthab1923]

StinkyPeteThePirate I thought so too!

[@RisingRecluse]

When he said David Arquette Immediately thought WCW. I want to see this impression.

[@boblowney]

I grew up in Bedford Massachusetts. the first one!

[@beatrizh664]

My TV crush.

[@75hilmar]

I need these Seth Force Vitality Pills

[@kiya12309]

While he's certainly not my favorite stand-up, I did enjoy Lobby Baby, and I've always just really liked Seth, and frankly the whole Meyers Family. They seem like very sweet, genuine, normal people.

[@user-qn4tq2qt5m]

His stand-up special is the besttt next Yo John mulaney's. Also his writing skills are immaculate He was the head writer on snl And his work in documentary now is soo good

[@robertschwartz4810]

The only quibble I have with your show is that it's not on at 10:30 instead of that other guy who shall remain nameless.

[@GeebleTron]

I always thought Seth Meyers was funny simply by his association with much more recognized names (Poehler, Fey, McKay, etc.). While he isn’t my favorite comedic voice he has a keen sense for comedic talent and that’s what makes his show so great. His writing staff is consistently amazing, sometimes even better than Conan’s (my favs being Connor O’Malley, Mike Shoemaker, and Michelle Wolf). It also helps he’s a genuinely kind soul and doesn’t hog the spotlight, actively including and acknowledging his writers in his show.

[@josephreyes9547]

Man there's so many good comedians that they could should do this Series on like Adam Sandler

[@jasperstuut]

Nothing about Boom Chicago?

[@charless.sturdivant]

Good to know.

[@archaeomom]

Last 1:45 was UGH

[@VianneyCreates]

BTW, I watched all the same comedy that he mentioned...parents in the 70's and 80's DGAF about what we were watching. And here we are...

[@turnerwright]

Come to Japan, then!

[@PopeLando]

"There's nobody at work that I dread seeing, and I've never had that." Of course not, Seth, you're the boss! You hired everybody! The person EVERYBODY dreads seeing every day is YOU!

[@pearlejam7115]

Pepsi? You're going for second best?

[@Acrocanthosaurus]

I'll bet he can't wait for the day he gets his first laugh.

[@fry9700]

Oh, this guy is considered a comedian? I never noticed.

[@teilorsoares8864]

People in the comments saying he's not funny, I actually think his delivery is still weak, but he's working on it. The segments he does with his family and the "Jokes Seth Can't Tell" segment are pretty funny to me.

[@n.p.2653]

The haters are MAGATs. Seth is funny and a truth teller. That's lethal to morons

[@dwaipayandattaroy9801]

Ya Netflix standup korbo

[@sanchitagolder]

ki?

[@andreaholcock8992]

Seth Myers does comedy?

[@Jusoon]

wait, Seth Myers is in Comedy?

[@FilmHistoryDigests]

Seth Meyers does comedy? Don't you have to be funny for that?

[@rwmorey71]

"Early Conan shaped what late night was for 10 or 20 years" ??? How about it shaped what wasn't funny for 100 years which is why he got dumped by NBC and eventually cut down by third rate TBS!?!

[@lunchmeat1082]

1) Conan didn’t get “dumped” by NBC, he left because he knew that what they were planning on doing was a disgrace to the tonight show. 2) Conan is 10 times funnier than any other late night host out there right now. Not just my word or the public’s either, most actual comics feel the same

[@jammer3618]

I'll pass. I've seen him do stand-up. Great talk show host.

[@honeybee1159]

Nobody cares.

[@BiteThatApple]

Seth ain’t funny but that’s just my opinion

[@thetruthchannel349]

Hmmm... I wasnt aware he'd started doing comedy.

[@n.p.2653]

You are probably too busy being a MAGAt and yapping about Magic Sky Daddy. I hear that takes up a lot of time

[@babayaga1767]
