10 years, Seth has started off as a person finding his fitting in a talk show, now today he has found his spot on being one of the greatest late night talk show host of all time. Thank you for 10 years of amazing excitement!!

[@HarloffGoes2GalaxysEdge]

😂 of all time? Settle down beta.

[@Kliw-]

​@@HarloffGoes2GalaxysEdgeyou're profile alone screams virgin. Ironic isnt it 😂

[@jeremybartlett1706]

Footing... not fitting.

[@jvissers3086]

You're so desperate to be relevant it literally made me laugh out loud. Hope you're a comedian.​@@HarloffGoes2GalaxysEdge

[@Ohanarhythmz]

Yes sir..... Or ma'am.

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

Seth got the sitting Vice President (and future President) on his Very First episode, and Seth brought out Amy first. That is a true friend.

[@JiraffeJackalese]

*High Five!*

[@eliharbin77]

Pretty awesome first guests. I think the story is they were going to have Biden out first but he volunteered to go on second out of respect for Seth and Amy’s friendship

[@b-meaker99]

10 years later, they nailed it ❤❤

[@h7opolo]

bro, Seth Meyers was solid from the get-go. fkn legend

[@ninajohnson2347]

I am CRYING at how rough the set is! The wooden step, marks on the rug, the rug is just new construction beige.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

It looks like a modern church...

[@jbuster9]

The wall behind Seth is cool, but holy moly, you're right. That step and rug are awful!!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

At that point they were just doing Seth a favor. Once they got the ratings in they put more money into it.

[@philollenberg]

Even his mic cable is… like… randomly hanging out? :D

[@Zakkrifice]

So....10 years later well find Amy Poehler under his desk?? COMMITT GUYYYSSSS!! Im invested now!

[@mauriciodiocis6901]

Was thinking the same thing!

[@razzledazzyl]

John Stewart has the ‘under the desk’ gag covered over on Colbert. Be great to see her on Monday’s show, though.

[@FoCoPuffs]

Phrasing.

[@Imeatingchocolate]

@@razzledazzyl There's room for two. An homage, if you will.

[@jbuster9]

Yesss

[@lespaulio]

Seth looks so professional and put together. How did we get from this to Bird Bane?

[@thcase36]

COVID with the captain

[@dread46]

@@thcase36 The captain has been absolutely crazy... and yet, i do miss him, wish he had some cameo from time to time. 100th Corrections maybe? Well one can dream and hope :)

[@JiraffeJackalese]

what *is* BirdBane if not *professional and put together?!*

[@porcelina_zero]

The attic changed him

[@speciousjackal]

BIRD BANE IS A TRIUMPH

[@keeshiabrie]

Happy 10th anniversary, Late Night with Seth Meyers! What a great decade it has been 💛

[@Andy-Mesa]

This stage looks more low budget than his in-laws' attic 😂

[@mackstewart4203]

It was 2014, they probably used all the money renovating Fallon's stage when he moved to The Tonight Show and left Seth with nothing lol

[@keeshiabrie]

Since this, every appearance Amy made has been so fun! The rapport she and Seth have is joyous!

[@just-another-sarah]

I coincidentally just re-listened to the first couple of episodes of Strike Force Five today. It’s so fun to be watching the first episode after having heard him talking about it.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

"Strike Force Five!" Thunderclap...! I hope they still have the merch!

[@MarcKloos]

🌩️

[@noodleiswholesome5946]

I love that hes had stefon on his desk since the beginning

[@liammcfarlane13]

Seth looks like such a baby here which is wild because he’s literally 40 😂

[@mauriciodiocis6901]

I remember this, being 24, had just moved from Miami to Portland, and stumbling drunk after karaoke with my girlfriend at the time, and thinking this is fun i like it. Never missed an episode since.

[@Andy-Mesa]

This is pretty weird my dude, I moved from Miami to Portland when I was 25, and had many a night of karaoke upon arrival.

[@MarcKloos]

And you both are keeping Portland weird, right?

[@rapavao]

It’s nice to see that literally from the beginning, Seth has been a Gentleman, offering a hand to help ladies in high heels climb the steps to his set. #class #raisedright

[@kellyroper5256]

Amy is a national treasure. Seth has been great since his SNL days. So glad they haven't aged a bit.

[@cactustree505]

Congratulations Seth Meyers and LN

[@PIXPromosMore]

Oh God, the Bland set and the Tiny chairs...Times HAVE Changed!

[@kindabluejazz]

That guest chair looks like something they grabbed out of the office reception area.

[@Hello_Spaceboy]

It makes me feel so old knowing I've been watching these guys since they first started on SNL 😂

[@user-gw9rw5ei8m]

Happy 10 years Seth!!! We love you 💖

[@HighHeelKnight]

I keep forgetting how gorgeous Amy's gams are. 😍

[@sierralvx]

Correction: The interview is 8:15 long, but this video goes on for 19 mins because you somehow played it twice after some deadspace?!?

[@dirfrops]

Love you three so much as well as the rest of the SNL alum. Never miss a Saturday night. Never miss a weeknight for all of the Strike Force 5. Love love love you all.

[@kiechlefashion]

Did it play twice for anyone else?

[@Leblribrbrrq]

Well, the video is messed up. There are a few minutes of black and then the same segment again but cut a bit too short.

[@MarcKloos]

And we all just watched it a second time in full, right?

[@jamesyoungquist6923]

Aww man, I was looking forward to the Biden interview afterwards :/

[@tereasia]

Her hair is so nice

[@queenvrook]

Once again, based on the blackouts, we assume you let Scollins do the edit

[@squee599]

Oh how things have changed! Fred used to play the guitar in the band and now, ten wonderful years later Fred plays the drums in the band.

[@BeerStein33]

And Fred wrote the Theme Music for the show, saying he had always wanted to do that, or words to that effect.

[@nannyalberte]

I love Amy with a passion. And I love this friendship :)

[@cheesebythunder3209]

Amy is such gold

[@ringbling420]

After 10 years - the KZbin editing still sharp as evar...

[@scott-richards]

congrats Seth! great show

[@danielmetcalf]

Why does the video repeat? What are your editors up to? 😅

[@All_Loves_Lost]

You have such a better desk now-!! LoL

[@Lukas69420]

Better everything, really😅

[@All_Loves_Lost]

@@Lukas69420 agreed-!!!

[@will9001asd]

I wonder if this video is a set up for a punchline in the next video where Poehler comes up from under Seth's desk? 🤣

[@peterbathum2775]

been here since the start ... thanks and congrats

[@hepcatliz]

budget hasnt changed much, juuuuuust enough for a couple more chairs 😂 LOVE the flashback!

[@flichop1522]

How is it that they're even more gorgeous now than 10 years ago. so lovely for a first guest

[@erinpittman987]

😂they were perfect together enjoyed!

[@Insideoutie]

wOW HE LOOKS WAY YOUNGER

[@Max-zg2ci]

My gods…how does Fred Armisen look both younger and older in this clip 😂😂 that could be Fred’s eldest son or Fred’s uncle

[@fornitegood122jr6]

New band seth

[@maddykae2489]

seth breaking the guests sit first rule really got me lol

[@ellenbenson7895]

Even loved the dumb shanty bits during Covid - you won me over. also glad Amy one of your best friends cause loved her and Tina Feye too !

[@williamkittler]

Oh the memories! The floating desk that would roll in after the monologue. Seth could never stay on his mark and we would make drinking games of whether he would drift to the left or right…. And of course the band in the other side of the stage. Good times!

[@betsiecleworth5853]

What? You mean they used to let him roam free for the monologue?!

[@williamkittler]

@@betsiecleworth5853 absolutely! It got so bad that they eventually sat him back behind the desk. But for like a year he would just float around out there. He didn’t know what to do with his arms… it was really awkward!

[@calebwashingtonproductions]

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TO LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS!

[@mzshastalibra4705]

If they don't have her in an episode where she's literally living under Seth's desk and there's a cut away to a pre recorded segment, after Seth excuses himself from the audiences view by going under the desk, to where Seth and Amy Amy

[@mzshastalibra4705]

to where Seth and Amy are touring her living quarters under the desk, and she's reviewing all the knick knacks she's hoarded under there for 10 years living under the desk... DO IT DOOO IT

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Ten years to the day! Congrats Seth and the team! Is Wally lurking there with the cue cards?! I want Joe Biden!

[@jacquelinemoon2570]

Aw, look how cute and little he is! ❤️

[@danielleryan196]

OMG the set

[@joshm977]

Why does the same interview play twice lol

[@gerchanovskya]

Does this make you a jackal for being the first to point this out 👀😆

[@scottcampbell96]

Josh Meyers, is that you?

[@Sammysan123]

Omg he looks like a baby here 🥰

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I didn't read the description, thought this was new and thought holy crap Poehler looks incredible

[@_kellyfurman]

the fact that he got amy poheler and joe biden were his first 2 guests is a great start

[@Moekoffee2001]

This is Seth before the bronze glaze of jackal drool

[@JiraffeJackalese]

Their *friend chem* 7:49 - 7:52 is some of the best ever. Can't compare with Amy's chem with Tina and Maya and Kristen, but no need to compare. It's differently super special.

[@jbuster9]

Calling it now... on Monday's show Amy will pop up from under Seth's desk.

[@tomkeane4927]

How does this video keep getting uploaded with the same editing problems?

[@kindabluejazz]

I didn't know the Stefon doll has been on his desk since day one!

[@BradTheProducer]

Fred has a Devo energy dome on his guitar strap, and if I'm not mistaken, this is 4 years before he JOINED Devo as their drummer!

[@squanto2]

First show. Seth seems totally relaxed, no difference between then and now. Amy is a dishy little cutie pie as always.

[@FumikoNobuoka]

I remember an interview with Joaquin where he mentioned he was single and said he'd love to date Amy. But her being married sort of put a stop to that. 😂

[@freyahah290]

Crazy, WNCN is now a CBS affiliate.

[@DanielleA2023]

Seth in a suit is 🔥

[@BigDaddyTiny83]

Was that Conan's old desk?? On a sidenote, DAYUMM AMY!!! 😍😍

[@krs5115]

Best newsteam in america

[@bonniejosavland3227]

Fred is also a musician 😜😳🤣

[@chelseashurmantine8153]

Why does this video blackout halfway through!? Lmfao

[@outrageouscreation6865]

I just noticed that, and no one’s talking about. It’s the same video twice with a 3 minute dark spot in the middle

[@brucefoster4106]

Why does the interview repeat...

[@fexcab]

1:42 😂😏armisen/poehler feud

[@amethystpeony]

I am an Amy and this is my birthday too😀😁

[@bobwiegers]

correction: somehow an 8 minute video is now a 19 minute video

[@lordtorka]

that photo of Amy and Seth looks like its from an SNL skit

[@Alacritous]

He was so young.

[@ciradavis9900]

I can't believe the iPod shuffle was current tech when they started out

[@elaexplorer]

There's something a little poetic about Amy Poeller being the first guest on his podcast.

[@MarcKloos]

He knows her as best friend, I know her as Andy's sister.

[@daveedwards1257]

💃💙Congrats💙🕺🏻 Bongo Dave - Good Happens / Love Shall Prevail ✌️😎🥁💕🎷🎸💙🌎👍🌲🌲🌲🤗🎊

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Wondering why the clip repeats itself?

[@bubblegumdreams9934]

I hope he reads these comments on corrections lol I see you jackals 👀

[@betsiecleworth5853]

AMY: 10 years later you'll find me hiding under your desk.... 10years later 100th CORRECTIONS episode...???!

[@Brazil201]

I forgot how weird and Ikea the first set looked like

[@OnTheNerdySide]

Okay, this is just Jackal Bait at this point. You reuploaded the same duplicate segment as earlier today, same commercial break dead air, same duplicated segment with Amy.

[@TheDriedfrogpills]

You have to kind of admit, she's a bit prophetic, or did the best influencing the universe for a talented and strange show. Congrats on 10 years, here's to 10 more plus!

[@StevenChappell]

Whatever happened to the keyhole desk?

[@cactustree505]

I wonder if Amy is still under Seth's desk? 5:22

[@alienmoosestudios]

What the heck??? Am I in an alternate reality? That was weird 😲

[@lisarodriguez6966]

Do you mean the missing minutes in the middle?

[@alienmoosestudios]

@@lisarodriguez6966 yes, and then it replays...lol

[@robertmondoux6466]

ok, don't get it - why is the Poehler clip repeated twice ?

[@NewMessage]

Still got a few minutes of dead air, and a repeated interview, editmonkey!

[@victormendoza871]

Man I been here for a good while on KZbin 2008 What happened bud

[@JiraffeJackalese]

I haven't seen the whole show yet since hiatus has ended -- and if she doesn't *climb out from under his desk* (almost as if she were Jon, but *in her own great weird way under Seth's desk instead),* I'm going to be gravely disappointed. 5:22

[@solvseus]

Weird you focused on those cups at 11:25 when you still refuse to tell us what it is you're drinking.

[@naryanr]

that's one of the ugliest sets i've ever seen. god seth is more or less the same as ever, the real story is how much the set has improved, not the host.

[@dsmyify]

I'd take Amy Poehler up the Eiffel Tower any time of the day, as the view of Paris is quite delightful.

[@OnAirTy]

The cursed set!

[@kateuhler7803]

What's with the empty blackness in the middle of the vid? And then the vid restarts? Weird.

[@Dr_1212]

😎👍

[@Ducky69247]

Where the hell was Seth last week, I'm so let down

[@genealviso1516]

So it fades to black and then just repeats?

[@someshwarrao42]

Yeah. I thought the second half would be Biden’s interview.

[@JiraffeJackalese]

Since this part is missing, here's the rest, if anyone wants it handed over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6KQnZ-mpLeYgdk And I love how Amy "greeted" Biden. {And her hi-jinx with Biden's security dude 😆)

[@orangedoggy]

Ngl, idk what that blank screen and then repeat was but…

[@parkermae]

why is nobody commenting on the several minutes of nothing after the interview, then the interview repeating at the end?
