I've grown to really like seth meyers, i think he's the best at letting the guest shine and is the best interviewer

[@jimshorts86]

Totally agree. For a lot of guests with a comedy/entertainment background you often just need to let them say their piece uninterrupted without obnoxious laughter or injecting yourself back into the limelight. Less is more for those guests. Comes off as more natural that way.

[@SwimmingRobot]

yeah Seth and Conan are great hosts

[@Geeksmithing]

@jimshorts86 What?!?! Fallon doesn't do that! 😂

[@TXnine7nine]

It's really apparent when you compare Seth with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy can not interview people to save his life. He has that fake ass laugh and constantly interrupts his guests. I haven't seen that with Colbert but Seth is still a much better interviewer than both of them.

[@pinatadonkey5934]

I introduced my wife to this show after we got married. We skipped the first season as I wanted to let her start on a solid note, but binge watched a couple seasons on our honeymoon. We’re down to three episodes in the first season before we finally watch the series finale.

[@rosesmith6925]

I just binged it during the first "lockdown" for the first time. I almost stopped after the first season because I thought oh, there's no way I could keep working for a jerk like that.

The Emmys story where Jenna saw the charcuterie board and just ate was funny. Leading to Angela telling her to hurry up, then say the "Shove that Salami" line--which led to Jenna going "That's what SHE said!" would have had Pam and Angela shake their heads and then laugh despite themselves.

I have to brag. I was an “early adopter” of The Office, and watched every episode as they first aired. Even I thought “there’s no way” this show will last long, despite seeing for myself how funny and ridiculous it was - but also knowing it wasn’t getting very good ratings in the beginning. Television is such a bizarre business… I’m happy to say I was completely wrong, and that the show finally found it’s loyal audience after Season 2, because it was always a gem in the rough. It lives among the most beloved TV comedies of all time because it literally became relatable to everyday people who work for a living, and have nutty co-workers they have to deal with. Thank you, Dunder-Mifflin/Sabre…and thanks to all the cast, guest stars, crew and production for many years of great television!

CORRECTION: alright this one is only ~halfway~ a real correction, but at the end of this interview, as you can see here, Seth says "we'll be right back with more Late Night." I watched this episode on live tv, so I had to wait through all the commercials, and when the show finally came back on it was like 30 seconds of credits. "We'll be back with more Late Night" ? Idk about y'all but to me, that was a pretty disingenuous thing to say. Are you contractually obligated to say that so that we'll watch the commercials? Was it just a habitual thing to say at the end of the interview? I coulda gotten like five more minutes of sleep. Thanks a lot. I trusted you Seth >:(
