Seth Meyers | SNL, Late Night, and a Ton of New Jokes | Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out

[@rafa3las]

I could listen to them for hours and hours

[@phobos258]

After a week with out late night(or Corrections!) this is a heaven-sent watch.

[@SenatorRobinson]

The withdrawals are real.

[@hellpoint7534]

When is episode 100.?

[@kicsms_science3729]

I wish I had found this while they were on hiatus!

[@sunshine3914]

@@kicsms_science3729Luckily, I have.

[@andrewontheroad]

I can't hear the phrase "strike force five" without hearing a thunder clap in my head.

[@demitasse22]

And yet, it still has the power to startle

[@intheatremode]

Sameeee😅

[@ST-yz2km]

Oh gosh, I love them running new joke material with each other for feedback. This is so cute!!

[@megand4222]

It's the premise of the show, so looots more of that for you to enjoy in the catalogue! ;)

[@jimbrunsman1011]

Mike asks interesting questions that allow Seth to be himself. Excellent. Two of our best comics showing their talents.

[@nuschlerclark895]

It’s called asking “open-ended” questions.

[@cedarandsound]

Wish this were longer.

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Same! This was a great interview, loved every minute!!

[@__mads__]

I wish this was thicker.

[@TMercan31]

Same!

[@debrabrabenec3731]

I would have liked at least another 1/2 hour!

[@comedygeek]

Uh oh.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I really love how Seth can be real. Thank you for this conversation

[@wakeupbell2491]

YES! Go day-drinking with Birbiglia!! Somehow, I think he'll be even funnier when he's drunk. He's such a delight, how could he not be fun to go day-drinking with!

[@Treadswax]

Wanted to make sure this was said. Then disappointed to learn this aired 5 months ago...drink more with your friends! I want lonely island, birbiglia, then amy and tina, then a huge day drinking with as much snl friends you can get. Asssssssssscat style!

[@gal1885]

Seth and Mike have similar interview styles. They have thoughtful questions prepared, but they also know when to let the conversation drift and riff … great episode

[@DieTinBach]

Mike is such a magnificent host. Such an intimate and relaxed interview.

[@mandcbruce]

My husband is a lawyer and lawyers constantly time things cuz, ya know, billable hours. It's maddening. It comforts me to know Seth has an internal stopwatch going at all times. Loved this conversation!

[@matthewsamson7695]

He's wearing the shacket!

[@kathrynaston6841]

Another winner. I could listen to the two of you all day

[@jenibells]

This was a fantastic episode! Went by so fast, and i couldve listened to 8 hrs of this! Great job guys!

[@lille-mary1517]

Could have listened for hours to these two talking. Seth is really really great.

[@tmac4317]

The "it's a long life" section the best advice. I'm about to turn 60 - and I wish I had heard something like that and was able to internalize it yeeeeaaarrrs ago.

[@Science_Labs_]

This could be 3 hours long and I would listen to it.

[@heteroskeleton]

This was an unmitigated delight to listen to

[@daveleonard3280]

quite literally my two favorite comedians... love them both so much. Seeing Seth live is a bucket list item for me for sure

[@mabxself]

I'm stoked for this one! I love Seth Meyers

[@kylegordon00]

"Every character's Alamo, that you're watching in real time." PERFECT way to describe the best ITYSL characters! Tim Robinson is a once-in-a-generation comedy genius

[@chrisincamera]

First time discovering this podcast. It is really great. Mike's ability to punch in some ribbing or comedy and only slightly derailing Seth is pitch perfect.

[@vanessawhitneypro]

What's up, Jackals... xo

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Just waiting for more LNSM!

[@rocketRobScott]

This has been another insightful episode of Mike Birbiglia: Bit Detective.

[@neofprefect]

Kenan was a Nick kid. He was All That, Keenan and Kel, Goodburger. A show called Kenan. He is a Mighty Duck, a Heavyweight, and guest star gold for any series. You all gave him wonderful props for his SNL longevity, but you have to also acknowledge that he was a big fish from day one on SNL and may have been brought in to pull his 90’s fan base.

[@peteypablopicasso]

It’s been very cool growing up with him and watching him thrive. I’m 35 and can’t remember a single time in my life where Kenan hasn’t been there.

[@smarbels]

Love how many times y'all talked about Tim Robinson 😂. I'd listen to a podcast where comedians just talk about Tim

[@demitasse22]

Any jackals in the house?

[@lb5368]

🐾 Hiatus has me in withdrawals! I am SO tickled to see two of my faves together here ❤

[@shantayedincsoy1611]

Always!

[@wendydarling5790]

Heyyy 🙋‍♀️

[@jrpipik]

At least till Thursday...

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Of course!! Must consume all things Seth. 🐾

[@mrJakestetler]

This is the first time I have ever heard of this Mike Brigabee podcast. I immediately subscribed. Number one Birbigs fan here. Obviously that’s probably not the case due to the fact that this is not the first episode and I am only just now seeing this. But I absolutely love Mike Brigglebobblyboo. Love love love. If you are Mike, thank you for being you. If you are not Mike, also thank you for being you, not Mike. There’s only one. Anyway. Have a good day. Thanks

[@demite5267]

Hey you have a great day too!

[@et4416]

The day drinking shacket has returned!

[@whitneyburg2932]

i just saw mike in minneapolis on 10/19/24, and he did the DARE bit. i came back to watch this again to see how he got there. amazing and so funny!

[@heatherwestover4060]

My husband had the same ability with time and distance. I’m the opposite-I have zero ability to gauge time.

[@flood8496]

Seth's laugh seems very genuine. Jimmy Fallon's laugh seems to be fake and sycophantic. I think that's what I like best about Seth's show.

[@calibby85]

I still re-listen to Strike Force Five. It was the 2nd best thing to come out of the strike. Hearing Seth's kids screaming in the background while the others laughed about it, Fallon's disastrous wife quiz, and just all of them enjoying themselves so much and acting like little kids, was such a treat😂❤

[@Kitty8791]

Still can't believe Colbert "forgot" to tell Conan to call in. I mean they had Letterman & Jon Stewart! I would've liked Trevor Noah too.

[@roryoutdoors5431]

“GET OFF THE SHED!!!!!” Fav will Ferrell snl yell

[@BrandonCroker]

You both rock

[@oppositeofh8]

truly awesome. thanks, guys. 😻😻😻😻😻 5/5 😹😹😹😹😹 5/5 (seth was doing a little "corrections" posturing at the beginning.)

[@billwheeler1213]

Now knowing Seth has enjoyed Acid (at a foreign amusement park) makes me like him even more 😊

[@Mtjames1978]

This is just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing my man.

[@bignatius]

Another excellent episode and guest.

[@joshkeidan5012]

Hey Mike! You mentioned the cool names of drugs that you learned from the DARE program, so I thought I'd let you know (as a former teacher) that on the annual surveys of drug use they always make up some drugs / drug names so that they can weed out the kids who check "yes" to everything. E.g. "In the past month, have you used boomslang?"

[@lb5368]

🤯

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

"Boomslang's a helluva drug." (sometimes shortened to b.s.)

[@tennisCharlzz]

@mike_birbiglia is such a delight to listen to, so easy-going that you wish he could be your friend too. He can be the guitar guy at my party and drink a Coke and Bacardi, any time.

[@asynchronicity]

The Day Drinking segment shows how awesome alcohol is. A very underrated substance.

[@wendydelucca6918]

I want more! Especially the joke writing so interesting to hear the process. ❤

[@mitze888]

Seth and John Oliver were the funniest on Strike Force Five. ⚡

Such great & funny guys!❤

[@wendydarling5790]

So excited for this one!!

[@lb5368]

Seth, babes, what a pleasure seeing you here with Birbigs! ❤ A proud Jackal P.S. great to see you stimming. As a fellow neurodivergent, I say let your stim flag fly, baaay-beeee!!!

[@kab9706]

Totally agree. ❤

[@demitasse22]

What does “stimming” mean? I always see it and I’d rather ask someone who does it for real instead of Google. Is it like when ppl needed a fidget spinner in 2015? Thank you

[@lb5368]

@demitasse22 I think of it as anything that relieves the tension/energy I have in my body. It is short for self-stimulation, which is a misnomer because stimming is actually soothing and allows me to help regulate my body and brain so I can function in a world built for neurotypicals. Stimming can show up as lots of different behaviors, from full-body rocking or spinning, to sitting in an awkward postion that puts a pleasant pressure on my joints, to flapping my hands, fidgeting with a pen, or picking at my cuticles. It's part of my self-expression now that I don't mask my autism anymore 😊 I hope this helps and isn't too much information lol! I tend to say a lot more than people expect when I'm asked about a special interest of mine!

[@demitasse22]

@@lb5368 that was unbelievably helpful! Thank you so much . I wish you the best

such a pleasant interesting informative & amusing listen & great format for both Seth n Mike B ☆☆☆☆

[@coogan5729]

Seth's accidental bit about his son's comment had me absolutely dying.

[@CinophileRailroad1993]

I Loved This Podcast. With No Intro I Kept Restarting The Video Thinking I Missed Something. Also No Ads For Things I Don't Need? Sweet! This ACTUALLY Feels Like Cliche Of A Podcast, A Great Conversation Between Two Realy Interesting People! 👍 ❤

[@mollytheda9273]

Seth is my favorite.

[@hardlux]

Is there a Post-it behind Mike that reads 'Octopus and Sex'?! That needs to be explored.

[@JoshLange3D]

I keep waiting for a Usual Suspects reference from the guest after studying that board.

[@wendydarling5790]

42:00 Correction, Seth: Your second favorite country is The Netherlands, not Holland.

Seth is the funniest late night host.

He is wearing the Dua Lipa Shaket 😅

"Something Kenan has that we don't" "Uh oh" "He seems young" "Ohhhhh I thought you were going to say something else okay yeah"

[@dogtato]

holy shit, mike birbiglia was the 7th guest?! I can finally stop trying to solve all these puzzles

[@cathymcmillan7509]

No ridiculous ads on your show. you are an interesting host

[@jamesdaw172]

Excellent job, love you both. Pitch idea, instead of Ex's for country song joke use puppies or dogs. "My school my son's teacher says he won't do the whole alphabet cause his puppy is missing". Wish you both the best and thanks for all you did and do

[@lalah9481]

Too funny… You are your dad Seth! Lol🤣🤣🤣

[@penguinista]

Arsonists are the kind of people who will just _tell you_ they left a note.

[@tbz1551]

26:40 Carson was 60 in 1985 and Letterman was 38 ... you were just young and saw them as much older.. plus Carson was gray early..

[@mikei5550]

Seth’s last special was really great.

[@HeavyWeight-qx8ou]

Gene Wilder was the greatest yeller of all time.

[@mattp701]

I would argue Ferrell's yell actually takes inspiration from some foundational Brian Regan bits.

[@outisentertainment2991]

lol Seth definitely breaks out his corrections voice to pitch the new jokes

[@tjberrian]

I’d be curious if other comics have that internal clock mechanism. Comedy is so much about timing, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that Seth is able to intuitively track duration without needing a watch.

[@Cleverlikeaduck]

Lovely

[@idaruthia]

I wish seth would host! Great ice cream material and he does impressions now

[@idaruthia]

Also mike should host already!!

[@HalOBrien]

Wilburys: Dylan, 47 Lynne, 41 Petty, 37 Orbison, 52 Harrison, 45

Tim’s characters are neutered that’s a great way to put it honestly

So he's a eunuch 🤔

😂 Bad at drinking 🤣

[@kristinnelson-patel442]

Um Keenan is obviously taking over for Lorne.

[@andrewvalenski921]

Seth, do a “day drinking” episode at Efteling featuring shrooms. Your show in Amsterdam was great - thanks for being cool when my wife and I ran into you outside Boom

[@HorseMuse]

bring back the videos of those politicians didn't think tump was a sound candidate 2016...

[@TabethaAurochs]

Seth calling LSD a "hard" drug was as adorable as it was inaccurate❤ 😂 Hard drugs are "The Wire," LSD is 16 y.o. ravers in Jencos @ TRAX D.C. '94.

Hey, I finally found someone with ears like mine! I cannot wear any brand of earbud/airpod. Is there a self-help group for us?

[@AaronAnalog1]

Great episode! I absolutely loved pitching each other bits at the end. By 2026 Seth will be back at SNL and Birbigs will be Kimmel’s successor 🔮

[@bluesky973]

The exes one was super funny!

[@schmoe67]

Legitimate question, what's the difference between helping someone improve a joke or knowing the joke isn't quite there and wanting to help find the punchline vs pitching a lateral joke?

[@RyanHaas]

Uh Oh 🤣

[@stregananak9896]

Love these guys and really enjoyed this conversation. BTW, Fallon is the only one on strike force i did not think was funny. Never do.

[@fozzman20]

What does Seth have against that pen? 😆

[@noahbaerveldt8162]

Mike, are you missing a button on your shirt?

[@david.mcmahan]

I really like Seth, but the bent clip on his pen cap has me questioning everything.

[@lynnturman8157]

The Traveling Willburys were not all in their 30s. They formed in 1988. George Harrison was 45 (born in 1943). Bob Dylan was 47 (born in 1941), Jeff Lynne was 41 (born in 1947), and Roy Orbison was 52 (born in 1936). The only one in their 30s at the time was Tom Petty who was 38 (born in 1950). Please tell Neal Brennan to stop spreading memes that aren't accurate.
