[@billwenham]

The way Seth has always acknowledged his writers is just another reason he has become my favorite throughout the years. You can just tell how genuinely fun it must be working there.

[@Marijuanifornia]

The 1942 USDA film, *Hemp for Victory,* is video proof at an official US Federal government website that the government and all corporate mass media have lied to the public for our entire lives. But since no one on television has the courage to talk about it, Americans gleefully trudge on in ignorance, day after day, for generations.

[@ross-carlson]

Abso-fucking-lutely!!!

[@CARPExNOCTURNUM]

Didnt he start with SNL as a writer? I could be wrong but he likely knows the struggle better than most! Seth is awesome.

[@billwenham]

@@CARPExNOCTURNUM He was a cast member first, I believe, but eventually became one of the head writers.

HEY SETH MEYERS Why can't I find STRIKE FORCE FIVE PODCAST anywhere on KZbin... Can you please put it back on... DID YOU AND THE GUYS DO IT, DID KZbin DO IT. SETH we need a update and explanation. The podcast was growing and everyone was loving it... Please let us know.

[@cloudwatcher608]

I think it's actually a good pun, the reason it doesn't work is because people usually say "garnish my wages" instead of salary, so it initially sounds strange to the ear.

[@KingThabiso]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LadyMoonsparrow]

I loved that joke too!

[@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj]

As a Canadian, the maple milk joke was actually pretty good. Made me laugh.

[@ethor7676]

That one got me too!! But Seth making fun of the writers gets me going so much, that at that point almost anything can make me laugh 🤣😭

[@ChelsBreeze]

The celery one too was good, because it was actually a truck of celery that spilt over.

[@1midnightfish]

Me too, but I can't stop thinking... what happened to adding a drop of maple syrup to the milk?? Americans are weird

You can tell Seth is at least as much of a writer as a performer. He values the writing that goes into a show as much as the performance in front of the audience.

[@v0idness]

As a millennial, that lady marmelade joke brought a big smile to my face.

[@leahklein6814]

[@AlisonJTait]

As a Canadian, the maple syrup breast milk was funny. Also, thanks for supporting your writing staff as the lead the fight for union support for less high-profile workers.

[@cloudwatcher608]

This segment, while seemingly meant to mock their half-ass jokes, is actually a great way to get their name out there and celebrate them. Pretty ingenious.

[@seepage2184]

As an American, I understand that thte Canadian Maple Breast Milk season tends to run very short.

[@arandastrategies5187]

Appreciate the working writers of this show and all shows. Thank you for standing together and thank you for making us laugh. It's medicine.

[@oasntet]

I legit laughed out loud at "and then another one on the bow." I'm not even particularly nautically-minded.

[@jiffypoo5029]

Scollins jokes are pretty much gold, just brutal, I love it.

[@christophersantiago6845]

During the strike, I saw John Oliver & Seth at The Beacon. Honestly, I primarily went for John Oliver but Seth KILLED!! I was kinda shocked how good his standup is, but I guess I shouldn't be. People were in the audience were even saying "That was sooo good" when he was done. Highly recommend!

[@cosmicphoto05]

You _KNOW_ it's a Scollins joke if you feel like a bad person for having laughed. And if you're okay with that, you're part of Scollins' tribe. I love how passionately Seth supports and appreciates his writers. Of all the genres and styles of writing out there, comedy has got to be the most difficult, and for Seth and his team (not to mention other late night talk show writing teams) to do this every weekday is really kinda mindblowing. I'm glad the WGA was able to work out a deal and get back to work. It's also great that even though Late Night is back, Seth is still in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA whose fight is not yet over. #SolidarityForever!

Scollins writes the kind of jokes that make you feel like a horrible person for laughing at said jokes.

Love Seth being back so much! His standing with his writers, and his gentle poking fun at their jokes was so funny and sweet!

[@tiny99990]

I fucking love surprise inspection, it really helps us get to know the writers, most of the time writers are unknown and behind the scenes and the only credit they get is in the credits and the pay they get... with us getting to know the writers you can almost call who's writing the jokes that seth tells that make it into the show which again is a way they can get credit beyond their hilariously bad jokes as well, It's just a brilliant segment.

[@somebastardontheinternet]

Okay, you absolutely should have used the "Itchy itchy yaya dada" joke. That one damn near killed me! 😂

[@ASethdevotedjackal]

This is one of my favorite stories growing up. I was born in 1971 (for context). My mother was hired to teach 4th grade. Teachers usually have 2-4 days to get their classrooms ready. On one of those prep days, my mom, with her new colleagues, went to a lunch counter at a grocery store in Idaho. My mom, grabbed a seat, turned to the person next to her and said, "Hi! I'm Gay!" The lady sitting next to her jumped off of her seat and screamed, "Well, I'm not!" My mother's name is Gay Ann. Of course they became fast friends. My mom and dad were married for 53 years.
