[@seantlewis376]

One thing I enjoy about Seth Meyers' bits is that his little asides are real enough that it is hard to tell whether they are scripted or genuine side comments. I love it.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Same! Sometimes I can’t tell what’s scripted and what’s not!

[@SWatson410]

Seth's greatest trait is his ability to get a laugh from the audience, even out of the worst jokes.

[@Hadenufyet]

Yes, he’s so relaxed & having so much fun, in his life and his job. I enjoy his Meyers Brothers podcast too. I love Colbert, but he’s rather buttoned down. Until he’s not; then he’s hilarious

[@georgedapatioguy3156]

That's funny. 😂 I seldom laugh at Seth's jokes.

[@sammarks9146]

It's that "yeah, I know this is bad, too" look.

[@charlesasmith7836]

IKR Seth is so funny On Closer Look my favorite segment of his ,show 😂🎉

[@fardycakes1606]

100% Late night shows are a weird thing where a writing staff has to produce topical comedy in short time frames, and you just need to fill the time with jokes. They can't all be the best joke, so you need someone who can commit to a bad or really stupid one. Seth does a fantastic job of committing to the joke, but then also drawing attention to when jokes don't land in a way that sort of lets the audience into the writer's room giving the joke new legs. As someone who has watched a lot of late night television over the years, I think Late Night has a tradition of this kind of irreverence all the way back through Conan and Letterman. Seth has done a fantastic job following two all-time greats, and the way he and his crew have made Late Night their own has been great to watch. I feel like it's a great show for "comedy geeks."

[@ellicel]

Trump Jr: My dad sees things that other people don't Everyone: yes....which is why he's being sued for fraud.

[@joshgottlied8209]

Yea maybe not the best wording for a fraud trial 🤣

[@Pecisk]

​@@joshgottlied8209 I think they truly believe that they can wish things into existence. To be frank, lying about worth of real estate is classic crime so they are not that stupid, I think they are just shocked that with all influence they bought over years they still got caught.

So Trump is like Putin, a Crazy Wanna Be Dictator, Biden is like Netanyahu a Crazy Genocidal Zionist and those are the Choices the Corporate Oligarchs in the DNC and RNC are going to give us? I Give Up.

[@BennysThoughts]

I've seen so many political clip/chops in the last 40 years that made me laugh, but honestly, I think this is the best one I've ever seen. Kudos to the video guys and the researchers and honest-to-gods I can't imagine the job titles of the people who actually did the heavy lifting on making this happen, but this was truly one of the best I've ever seen in this style. If you worked on this bit and contributed to this, your boss owes you coffee. The fancy kind. If he doesn't get you coffee before you show this to him, he owes you coffee for the entire week.

Seth is an artist at making bad jokes good. Sometimes I want them to be bad jokes so I can watch him save them. This is why I love Seth more than Fallon. Fallon can't always deliver a good joke, but Seth can always save a bad one. Seth is just fun to watch. He has a goofy personality and sweet charisma. He should be the Tonight Show. No offense, Fallon. You're also good. You're just not Seth.

[@chazleyweber2689]
