Seth Meyers On Finding His Own Lane In 'Late Night,' New Children’s Book

In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers and Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist take a trip to the New York Public library to discuss Meyer’s new children’s book “I’m Not Scared, You’re Scared” and his Emmy-nominated web series “Corrections.” Meyers shares how his children influence his comedy, and how the current iteration of “Late Night” is his “favorite version of the show.”

I always appreciated Seth as the most intelligent of the late night hosts but during the long period out of the studio, he really came into his own. He relaxed, felt free to be himself, cracked jokes with and about his staff, and since the only audience feedback he got was from KZbin comments, he developed a relationship with his audience in a different way. He’s smart, funny and kind, which means his interview segments are excellent, with actual content. Unique, charming and my fave! A Jackal ❤️

[@charlesgallagher1376]

Corrections is one of my favorite KZbin shows. Seth is naturally funny and self deprecating. He has the ability, like Carson and Letterman, to improvise when a joke bombs.

[@samanthab1923]

He’s quick too

[@S.Pociecha]

and smart and nice to look at too,@@samanthab1923

[@THEE_Kisywisy]

Corrections was a genius play. I absolutely LOVE it

[@leighcolby]

So happy Seth mentioned Corrections!! Jackals represent 🙌

[@carolz5090]

Not a jackal, just reader of jackals. One has to be born to (I really wanna say) jackalhood, one cannot become a jackal. This makes me so, SO sad. 😞

[@S.Pociecha]

There there,@@carolz5090! From my perspective, jackal is as jackal does. Just avoid picking on low-lying bits like a stumble over a word and you'll do fine!

[@carolz5090]

@@S.Pociecha I appreciate the encouragement…but there are heights I cannot scale. For example, Seth saying eggs burst forth from Charlotte’s thorax in Charlotte’s Web caused a two jackal pileup in the comments last week about whether or not spiders (technically) have a thorax. These are bonafide jackals.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Yay! The Jackals (sorta) got mentioned!

[@jcoopes5604]

Seth kept me sane through the lockdown and the chaos of the last administration. For that thank you Seth, it’s sad when you take breaks

[@malkaz9167]

Seth is a genius! I also love that he’s a family man, devoted to his wife, children, mom, dad and his brother. What a lovely man!

[@cleverusername9369]

Seth deserves way more credit for his stand up special. It was hilarious, he seemed extremely comfortable with the format, the bit where he did stand up about himself AS his wife was well crafted and creative, of you haven't watched it yet please do yourself a favor. He even offers a button so you can skip his bit about politics if you're not into that.

[@MJ18888]

He is so flannel! When he wore a suit when Letterman came on, I was like whoah!

[@S.Pociecha]

YaYY Seth says he looks forward to Corrections! Just like we do! 💘

[@NineteenEightyFive]

@@nathaneivers8700 what’s funny about telling the truth?

[@rabbit251]

Totally agree. But it is like, I think, everyone has their own brand of humor. I sometimes watch Fallon, Colbert, or Kimmel but usually only if they have an interesting guest. I don't usually watch their monologues. Seth just somehow clicks for me....and for you. I watch everything Seth does, even interviews of people I don't know. Since I live in Tokyo, I miss out on who's new in the USA so Seth is good because he will have some new or lesser famous people on as guests. So another reason I like youtube is because with Seth people we're a little like friends and I read what they think, our own little internet community.

[@cindysimpson6428]

Not much to go by and his voice is like fingernails down a chalkboard

[@rabbit251]

@@cindysimpson6428 If you don't like him, why are you here watching his video and even worse, even posting about it? As Mark Twain said, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."

[@ttentionpls]

I didn't appreciate Seth much in the earlier days, but he really does rank among the best these days. A bit of meeting in the middle, I think. I've got to know him better, but he's also got better. So well done to us both.

[@BobBigWheels]

I love how he includes his writers on his show.

[@paolovallejo5500]

Fallon makes the worst late show in the history of late shows. It is aimed at the lowest common denominator of intelligence. Seth should *never* go that way. He, and his team, have created the only honest, non cringe late show that is currently on air.

[@jb888888888]

I hate flossing my teeth. So, I tune in to Seth Meyers and reward myself by watching his shows while I floss. Thank you Seth for saving my teeth!!!

[@moonstoneway2694]

Aren't the "Day Drinking With ______" segments considered to be games? Talk about helping your guests relax. Love from a jackal.

[@emiliabolsas]

I think it is more accurate to say that the Day Drinking segments often *include* games but are not games in and of themselves.

[@jcoopes5604]

Need more of those I usually cry laugh 😂 watching!

[@Beth-ie]

Hysterical that Sunday Today's byline said "'I'm not scared, you're scared!' is first children's book." Sounds like a Russian translation. Seth Meyers is the best!

Nah I gotta disagree. As a fan of both Tonight show and Late Night, Jimmy and Seth are two different people and they run two different shows that suits the both of them and their personalities.
