[@Us5ma5n]

This interview with PDD compared to Fallon's interview, just days apart, is night and day. I can't believe Fallon has never gotten ANY better at interviewing. Seth is hands down the best interviewer on late night and actually listens, reacts to, and adds to the stories he is hearing. He doesn't just manically laugh and say "no way! what? are you kidding me? no no no you're the best you're the best..."

[@namj8145]

Lol, love Jimmy, glad for his success. But the "You're the best!!! I mean that!!! Oh man!" stuff gets so annoying so quick. I can't watch it for more than a few minutes at a time before I switch to anything else.

[@seemsfishy23]

The craziest thing is that John is the son of Higgins, the announcer for Fallon’s show, and has probably known Fallon for years

[@Templar462]

But hey, at least Fallon makes up for it in running Q&A games where "the rules are simple"... so long as the definitions of "rules", "questions", "answers", and "game" are flexible. *thunderclap* I kid, but seriously... I've been annoyed by Fallon going back to when he was on SNL, but I've never laughed harder at his antics than I did on Strike Force Five. Just amazing. He earned a lot of points for that.

[@raveoreynolds6049]

Being better at interviews is about all Seth can claim. Like it or not, Jimmy's a great host in about every other capacity.

[@loveClubClaire]

so funny to me that Jimmy was like “don’t do the voice!!” and then Seth did the impression himself 😂

[@FreshGirl3000]

Seth is so funny and natural at interviewing other funny people, but especially if they are a part of the SNL universe lmao.

[@ericminch]

Yes. His Lorne impression was for them, not for us.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

He is so good at it! But these aren’t other funny people they suck

[@joshk.6246]

The absurd turns that their comedy takes is what makes it so amazing.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

No that’s what makes it not boring. Still not funny tho

[@GenericVillain]

​@@amonrodriguez3518 I agree. These guys are the epitome of LOL, I'm so random. @joshk.6246 Absurd turns only work if they subvert expectations. If you can't see their punch lines coming from a mile away, then you deserve to gorge on their lowest common denominator slop, Wilbur.

[@radekchrabota]

​@@GenericVillainyeah we get it dude, you're super cool and smart and handsome and everyone loves you. You're such a galaxy brained individual that you rise above the common masses and only laugh at the most enlightened comedy made exclusively for mental behemoths such as yourself

[@HoraceInkling]

They are the ultimate “we have Lonely Island at home.”

[@GenericVillain]

@@HoraceInkling Yes! (times a thousand). Except like if you wanted ice cream at the store and you're mom declined not knowing the freezer at home had just broken. PDD = melted ice cream after returning home from being in the vicinity of a Baskin Robbins. Aww, man. Sugary bland mess.

It’s fuckin SNL of course I’m gonna watch it. And as someone who has watched it since mid 2000’s I can have an opinion about it even if whiny little bitches like you say “if you don’t like it then don’t watch it then” god man it’s idiots like you that are slowing the world down

[@LycanLink]

I love when Seth gets real inside-baseball with the SNL cast or guests, saying jokes that we don't relate to, but they totally do. It's such a fun vibe, and it's just great to see, like when they joked about Lorne Michaels at the end. 🤭

[@hopsiepike]

Martin Short explains Lorne Michaels, and of course had the best impersonation.

[@samg3456]

John Higgins dad is also an SNL Producer and the announcer on The Tonight Show so that is undoubtedly 100% why they were out to dinner with seth meyers before ever getting a college show

[@lightseyedea763]

Seth is the only host i can watch, actually lets the guests talk

[@danyurr5304]

yeah and he's still not that good

[@TheChrisHype]

I like how they literally told Fallon “we’re gonna go to Seth’s show”, so they did.

[@danielyoung5417]

SNL, Tonight Show, and Late Night are all in 30 Tock. They didn’t have far to go.

[@cm4099]

Everyone is so nice - but I gotta say - Ben is just about the sweetest, most adorable guy ever.

[@196cupcake]

These guys are the most consistently funny thing on modern SNL, I'm looking forward to their movie.

[@benzaiten933]

I watched them on Fallon, and I usually don't watch Fallon, and Seth is so much more sincere.

[@veggigoddess]

It's because Fallon is naturally nervous, has adhd, and regardless of anything we think about him, he's an introvert

[@benzaiten933]

@@veggigoddess I didn't know, but would make sense. Still, Seth is my number one weekly host, John Oliver my number one Sunday host!

[@PhillyFrank1]

Love these guys. And their videos are so unerringly quirky and funny. The Bad Bunny sketch is bound to be a classic - hilarious from the moment Bad Bunny wanders into the office with an impassive, puppy-dog expression on his face while randomly wearing a fully realized Shrek costume.

[@mulaneyfangirl]

They didn’t even change after popping onto Fallon. I love them!!

[@usernamedkjahstill5003]
