Machine Gun Kelly talks smashing a champagne glass against his head after selling out Madison Square Garden.
This will sound like a bit but it’s not: John Mulaney, one of the most famous and talented stand-up comedians working right now, has joined Late Night with Seth Meyers as a staff writer. The news was announced last night by Late Night EP Mike Shoemaker and was confirmed by NBCUniversal, as Mulaney appeared on the show last night to talk to Seth about the role ghosts played in the recent presidential election. The news isn’t actually all that surprising. Mulaney and Meyers worked together closely for years at SNL where Meyers was head writer and Mulaney …
It’s Election Day – and an extremely stressful one at that – so you may or may not be looking for distractions. To which I say, here’s a delightfully lowkey 15-minute interview between John Mulaney and Seth Meyers on Late Night with Seth Meyers that will absolutely distract you from any anxieties you may be having at the moment. Mulaney was a guest on Late Night last night, and since he and Meyers are genuinely close friends in real life, their interview ran long. Like, way long. And it also got very weird. To the point that after the …
Haim’s most recent album, Women in Music, Part III, is arguably the pop album of the year. And one of the album’s very best songs is “3 am,” a slinky ode to “u up?”s accompanied by some of the band’s deepest, most melodic grooves. And their performance of the song on last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers took the song to the next level. Exhibit A: They got Robert Pattinson to record the voice message that starts the song on the album. (This time it’s a video message, of course.) When he calls …
Despite making a name for himself playing stoic characters like Deadwood’s Seth Bullock or Justified’s Raylan Givens, Timothy Olyphant has a pure chaotic streak in him that can be seen in his performances in Scream 2, Go, A Perfect Getaway, The Girl Next Door, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. Olyphant was a guest on Seth Meyers’ show last night, where he completely thwarted any attempt at having a normal conversation. Olyphant, filming remotely from his own living room, appears onscreen wearing a Van Halen jersey and a Panama Jack hat, which is our first signal that absolutely …
Listen, things are pretty horrible right now. The world is basically a giant tire fire. But thankfully, Seth Meyers is there to offer us occasional relief. Like when he decided to bring Andy Samberg on the Late Night show last night to portray a recently discovered mummy that they pulled out of an Egyptian well. There’s really nothing more to it than that. It’s just delightful and might make you smile for the first time in days (weeks?) so have at it:…
Seth Meyers will be following in the footsteps of NBC colleague Jimmy Fallon when Late Night with Seth Meyers moves back into their 30 Rock studio for the first time since March. But I have to be honest – this show has kind of thrived during quarantine. It wasn’t immediate, but Meyers and his team found a really playful groove for Late Night from home, with Meyers recording from his house (and currently his in-laws’ house) and writers like Amber Ruffin joining in from their respective homes. The lack of audience allowed Meyers to move faster, and I feel …
Andy Samberg went on fellow SNL alum Seth Meyers’ show Late Night with Seth Meyers last night, and when he tried to hijack the interview to create his own segment, things went delightfully off the rails. Not only is Meyers Samberg’s former SNL alum, he’s also his former boss. Meyers was head writer during much of Samberg’s tenure on the NBC series, so watching them play off of one another has an added “employee/superior” dynamic that makes it a ton of fun. Samberg went on Late Night to promote his excellent new film Palm Springs, which …
Late Night TV has gotten really interesting in the wake of Coronavirus. Obviously, that's small consolation, but I'll take whatever consolation I can get these days. Mike Ryan over at Uproxx had a good article about how the lack of production values has forced late night hosts to lean on their personal strengths, which makes their shows more unpredictable and vivacious. You can see a good example of that in Seth Meyers' recent interview with Amy Poehler. While the interview itself seems like something that also would have fit into the regular show in non-quarantine times, there'…
Late Night TV hosts returned in full force this past Monday with new shows airing on actual television instead of just on YouTube. Indeed, for the past couple of weeks folks like Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have been recording new segments from their respective homes and releasing them online. It brought a sense of normalcy to these uncertain times as pretty much everything everywhere is shut down over coronavirus concerns. This week, however, Colbert, Meyers, John Oliver and Conan O’Brien headed back to a television near you with somewhat awkward but oddly …
Late night TV may no longer be in production in studio, but that hasn’t stopped personalities like Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, and Samantha Bee from recording and releasing new content online. Most late night personalities, including Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O’Brien, either have been or are planning to return to television screens in the near future with episodes taped from the safety of their homes as they continue to practice social distancing. Indeed, the fact that the staff of Late Night with Seth Meyers can’t physically work in the same room hasn’t …
On Thursday, Late Night with Seth Meyers made the decision—along with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Show with Stephen Colbert—to suspend production until at least March 30th. And while Fallon and Colbert had already gotten ready to start taping their Thursday shows (without an audience) when the decision was made, Meyers and his Late Night staff scrapped their Thursday show when scheduled guests expressed concern over making the trek to 30 Rock to appear. Which is understandable, especially when one of those guests is John Krasinski whose new movie was just pulled from the release …
Late Night television is going dark over COVID-19 coronavirus concerns. Previously, it was announced that The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee would be filming their shows without a live audience. But in an abundance of caution, many of those shows have now decided to suspend production altogether instead. Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert went ahead with their tapings yesterday without a live audience, resulting in a bizarre viewing experience. Colbert ran through a nearly empty theater, delivered …
All good things come to an end, and indeed The Good Place is nearing the conclusion of its run. But fans can take heart in knowing that the Good Place series finale will be supersized, as NBC announced today that the final episode of the critically acclaimed comedy will be a whopping 90 minutes long. Not only that, but it’ll be directly followed by a Seth Meyers-hosted post-show with the cast—including Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, Jameela Jamil, William Jackson Harper, D’Arcy Carden, and Manny Jacinto—and presumably showrunner/creator Mike Schur. This is the first …
For Seth Meyers' new Netflix standup special, he's giving viewers that chance to skip jokes about President Donald Trump.
Good news, everyone! Seth Meyers is getting a Netflix standup special, and the trailer announcement for said special is a swell reminder that before he was the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the guy was an incredible sketch writer on SNL. Indeed, the standup announcement is portrayed as an action figure commercial that points out the differences between “Desk Seth” and “Standup Seth,” while a group of children criticize said action figure. It’s very funny. In his Netflix comedy special debut, premiering on November 5th, Meyers will touch upon “family, fatherhood, and why you should never take …
Fans of Late Night with Seth Meyers no doubt relish the semi-frequent segment “Day Drinking with Seth,” and last night’s episode gave us a very special treat: Seth went day drinking with the one and only Rihanna. Now, if you’ve seen this segment before, you know that Seth can really drink. But Rihanna keeps up in a big way here, with Seth slamming drink after drink until the whole thing concludes with him hammered, stammering his way through the song “Work.” And it is absolutely delightful. It’s no coincidence this segment comes just as Emmy voting …
