Seth Meyers Explains to Seth MacFarlane Why People Resent Him

[@crystalsolis]

I respect Seth a lot. He’s resilient, hardworking, talented, down to earth, and stays in his own lane. His success speaks volumes and he’s unbothered by haters.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

It’s true even Trey Parker and Matt Stone can’t knock him down a peg and they are the Godfathers of that.

[@JackieAyyy]

The Orville’s three seasons turned out to be a masterpiece! Love the show, love Seth.

[@DinoJake]

I'm happy for Seth MacFarlane. After years of writing for a show that he clearly no longer cares about, he's finally getting to do something that he actually WANTS to do.

[@Venkman007]

We shall see. Early reviews of this show are basically calling it a dog's breakfast. Have to say the trailers didn't 'grab' me.

[@ganados0]

He doesn't even write it, he's only credited with a few episodes. He did say in 2011 it should have ended years ago so I guess it's another paycheck to him.

[@autumnsummers6599]

[@HeckaS]

Tng was not bad tho

[@SylviusTheMad]

How did we end up in a world where Seth Meyers is the best interviewer on US late night television? I thought we'd be lost after Craig Ferguson retired, but Seth just picked up that ball and ran with it.

[@madisonrose1893]

People are my entitled to their own opinions and mine is Conan is the best late night talk show host 😆 but he's leaving the format in June so yeah, Seth may the best after that in my opinion but then there's Colbert too hmmm

[@BeeABaw]

The Orville is gold. I love it. Its serious when it needs to be and funny when its right. Star Trek can learn from it.

[@Swenglish]

I think they listened. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is pretty well balanced in that regard, but yeah...the Orville reminds me of something like Buffy the Vampire Slayer in terms of how well it rides that line of self-aware cheese, outright comedy, serious drama and meaningful allegory. The context is different, obviously, but it hits the brain in several spots in a way that feels comparable.

[@FerFer1958]

the show THE ORVILLE is fantastic. I highly recommend it. I'm watching each episode multiple times and is great each time.

[@maxpower19711]

FerFer1958 I agree, but The Expanse is WAY better.

[@yepme6484]

The show the Orville is my favorite I look forward to it every week especially since I don't have cable

[@jeffreyanderson2555]

It’s really amazing that the best and most creative person in TV and the best person hosting a late night show are both named Seth!

[@nolarobert]

The Orville has turned out to be much more than I expected. I knew that Seth would bring the humor and that he was a huge fan of Star Trek (and other Sci-Fi) but I admit I wasn't sure how he was going to mix that into this series. The latest episode was "Krill" that had repeated silly jokes about car rental companies but a serious, poignant plot about confronting an alien species that doesn't recognize your right to exist. The final scene of this episode certainly echoed the ethical dilemmas faced on the many iterations of Star Trek but most closely Deep Space 9. The show keeps getting better each week as the actors flesh out their characters and we learn more about their universe. I hope that Fox renews The Orville as the series has a lot of potential. Kudos to Seth for making a "Star Trek" series that feels like TOS in many ways.

[@miketaylor9544]

Everyone, watch the orville. It's a show that must stay on.

[@seanslater]

Love The Orville - hope it continues for many seasons...

[@Tia.K.C]

Is it weird that I think Seth would do a great talk show? He has good real conversations that deserve more time. Late night to me is more impersonal and quick paced.

[@ex2738]

Tia K.C Because it's all planned before the person even walks in to the live interview.

[@BeornBorg]

One of the best episodes, was the one about social media being part of the society's justice system. A bit too close to home ... and a great discussion.

[@robbouniverse7249]

Seth MacFarlane should have his own talk show he is that good

[@MahtiGC]

[@bujin1977]

It should go without saying that as a show which is basically "Star Trek: The Comedy", and with past associations, I would be disappointed if Sir Patrick Stewart didn't crop up in it somewhere.

[@itsmootdamnitnotmute905]

Jason Alexander (George Costanza - Seinfeld) is another one of these genius entertainment/talent chameleons. MacFarlane, however, takes those same talents and dials them all to 11. It's gotta be tough being around normals when your that ridiculously and obviously intelligent.

[@deadNightwatchman]

And now Jason Alexander looks like a chameleon (well... kinda, sorta) on The Orville!

Seth is starting to sound like Lucas promoting 'Red Tails'.

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

Yeah Red Dwarf does sci fi and comedy exceptionally well. When he described his new show he pretty much described Red Dwarf.

[@vitsavicky]

First, Red Dwarf is 80% comedy, 20% Scifi (give or take) what he describes is 50:50. Also, Red Dwarf is 30 minutes, Orville is 60. So, yes - it is similar (and my first thought was the same as yours), but not the same.

[@gatorbuilt]

[@NxDoyle]

I saw the first full-length trailer yesterday and saw the Seth MacFarlane 'stamp' on it, which is a lot easier to spot when its creator is its star (although, to be fair I didn't know it was his production till he did the 'loosened it for you' played gag, sorry Seth, you give us originality & I'll applaud it). The 'loosened it' line, sadly, was the only thing that stuck with me overnight, so...I dunno. I'm sure it'll find an audience. As far as originality in subverting sci fi goes, I'm no Gen Y aficionado or Millennial cosplay blah. I can only think of two off the top of my literally feverish head, Galaxy Quest, which worked pretty well & made $ and Hitchhiker's Guide, which I _love_ although I know the love for that movie is not widespread, mostly because of Poms/Limeys/Brits who hate that Mos Def is Ford. I don't much care, I thought he did well enough and all of it was WAY better than the TV version. Stopping now bye
