CORRECTIONS Episode 102: Week of Monday, May 6 

With the Double Cicada brood this year it's the perfect time to debut "Cicada, Cicada"

You may not think the difference between North and South Dakota is important, but the difference is very important to your dog.

Never thought I'd laugh out loud at hearing the words "murder-suicide." This is the power of Corrections.

PRODUCTION NOTE: Celebrity Baby Teeth definitely needs a "Previously On" full recap from the week before.

Seth: tells us for months Corrections ends at episode 100 Also Seth: why didn't episode 101 get more views!? And he calls US jackals

I do not work at Late Night, but I did work in 30 Rock until my role went fully remote about two years ago. Some months after that, I went into the office and dumped the entire contents of my desk into an IKEA bag which I then took home and stuffed in a closet and forgot about. At some point in the subsequent year and a half, I discovered and then worked my way through every single episode of Corrections, finally catching up last week. Today, I needed to find something in that IKEA bag, and while digging through it I found a stack of those early pandemic era "This area has been cleaned & disinfected" signs that the cleaning staff used to leave on our desks each night, and which I kept to use as scrap paper. I had completely forgotten that this was the origin of the Corrections notes, and for an appalling moment it felt like Corrections had somehow invaded my home and hidden itself in my bedroom closet. Truly unsettling. It is pretty great scrap paper though.

Was the all-cabbage diet why Hitler was such a sour kraut? (you can't say you did notsee that one coming)

I love how this segment is equivalent to a casual Friday in an office of 14 people.

Correction - The McWolf cannot be "a new McDonald's sandwich" and also be "back."

Epony-mousse is when you give your name to a dessert.

Opening with an inside joke about a staff member, that draws huge laughs but is not in any way explained, followed by 2-3 more inside jokes - this is 99% of the reason I never miss Corrections.

the stupid "preface" joke about how "you shoulda seen his face" was what got me this time

8:30 Thank you Seth, for referencing my *crickets* joke from yesterday on “Seth Repurposes A Joke A Jackal Sent In As A Carnac The Magnificent Punchline!”

“Off licensee ballet place” I love corrections so much.

The ballet joke was on point

“You should have seen his face” deserved a way bigger laugh

It’s really important to know which Dakota you’re in (North or South) when you bring your dog!

Who else stays up late to watch these rather than wait until Friday?

Hearing Seth say "See me next week" has given me reason to make it thru another work week. I'll be looking forward to episode103 from now until then. xo

I love the seamless accent switch from Jersey to German. "We're going to destroy it for entertainment...with a hammer." Klaus! Get in here!

"Schumacher was so embarrassed"

"You shoulda seen his fess" killed me

I love that he brought up the Doug Jones's comment and then just left it there. Not even a hint of "google him" even. Its beautiful.

Btw, thanks for the googs today on A Closer Look. It's the little things like that which help keep us in this cult.

So...I was listening to the CBC radio up here in Canada the other day... the show was called "Commotion". They were discussing John Mulaney's "Evrybdy's in LA". The guest was saying how innovative it was and how there wasn't any innovation in late night shows. To which I thought, "You haven't seen Corrections". Then she complained how innovation needs financial investment and networks weren't willing to pony up. To which I thought, "You REALLY haven't seen Corrections." 🤣 Perfect as always. 😘

The preface/face joke went nearly undetected but I loved it. Corrections is a hopeful beam of light in my existential gloom.

That wasn't a "ballet place" Seth went to. It was the "Cirque du Dismay"

The length of time to think of a chicken part😂😂😂 just woke my husband up!

I'm surprised you were supplied with safety glasses for the answering machine but not after all the near misses with the pencil.

I just wanted to let you know that late last year my sister and I were talking about Strike Force Five. She didn't know all the co-hosts names and kept referring to "the old one". I thought she meant Colbert or John Oliver, but no. I asked if she meant one of the guests, like Jon Stewart or David Letterman, she said "no, the old one." She then Googled Strike Force Five and showed me a picture of Seth. If it helps at all, we're Australian and Seth's Australian accent is terrible enough that no further retribution is required.

I have a fever. The ONLY cure is more Corrections!!

Safety giggles was such a cute bow to put on this gift to us! 🎁

There are some (certainly not me) who would point out that an eponym is the person a thing was named after, not the thing itself. So Pavlova (the dancer) was eponymous, but Pavlova (the dessert) is not.

nothing like saying "that's nothing to laugh about" to a joke that absolutely bombed.

I worked as a copy boy for quite a while. It makes me giggle a lot to think about some awkward weirdo, walking in and expecting naughty stuff, and only seeing rows of printers and office supplies. 😂

More "Seth Repurposes A Joke A Jackal Sent In As A Carnac The Magnificent Punchline," please!

can't wait for next week, when Seth finds a blindfold and decides to make the Bird Bane Box

I feel like it if was sealed in a mayonnaise jar, it would be "Hellmanntically" sealed.

11:00 The irony is that Doug Jones’ most famous role was Pan’s Labyrinth, a famously not-American film. I guess he’s also famous for Star Trek Discovery, but I’m pretty sure they film that in outer space.

While everyone else breathlessly awaits the next chapter of Celebrity Baby Teeth, all I want is Taylor’s diss track response to Mandolin (Seth’s version).

Can't beleive this thing has been going on for 3 years. And with everything that's changed, corrections has been probably one of the only constants since pretty much the begining of my PhD research. Now I'm graduating in 2 months, absolute madness.

I worked for Kinko’s for many years, including a year after it was bought by FedEx and re-branded as FedEx Office. The name Kinko’s is so ingrained in the minds of people of a certain vintage I have even seen some current locations labeled as FedEx Office with signage indicating “Kinko’s inside.” I have fond memories of working there from the quirky customers I met to the students I painstakingly helped format their dissertations to the exacting standards required. I even got an early copy of a cassette of Bill Hicks recorded under the name Marble Head Johnson in return for helping the producer find the best stock for printing the J-cards on in those early days of color copiers. I really appreciate the exposure to the local “scene” from comic artists to band flyers to budding authors or world renowned experts in Mayan hieroglyphics.

God help me I laughed at the Hitler handle bar mustache bit.

Correction: The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 2nd, not the 4th. It was publicly announced on the 4th. In fact, John Adams wrote Abigail later that he expected July 2nd to become our great national holiday.

Carnac envelope: Murder-Suicide Inside: What happened to Kristi Noem's dog and career at the exact same moment.

Seth chose Bird Bane!! WOO HOO!!

"CRICKETS! Hey-oh!" Thank you Ed McMahon.

Some answering machines had two tapes, one for incoming messages and one for the outgoing message. So in theory you could pull out the tape with the outgoing message while an incoming message was playing.

CRICKETS! Best joke ever. I think we can retire CORRECTIONS for all time. Leave them wanting more not less.

Favorite movie line of a shop teacher from Spider-Man Homecoming: "Keep your fingers clear of the blades" (said by an actor portraying a distracted shop teacher working through a crossword puzzle, with the pizzazz of a '2 years older from now Seth Meyers'... with glasses.

haha safety giggles LOL

Correction(ish?): so while most ballerinas are not necessarily tossed in the air like cheerleaders are, many are lifted during jumps. There is the occasional “toss” into the air (an example is the “Cheshire Cat lift” and the Washington Ballet has a video that shows the ballerina being lifted from a jump above the male dancer’s head). But for the most part ballerinas are told not to gain weight (whether in those exact words or not) in part because the men do sometimes lift them over their heads. There are many pas de deux that have the man walking across the stage while holding the woman over his head in a held position. Idk but I would argue that’s probably just as hard as throwing someone over your head? Especially considering how sometimes they carry the woman with only one arm over their head while walking across the stage. I was a ballerina myself for over a decade and was part of a number of lifts as well as other aspects of pas de deux which require a lot of strength on the part of the man. And yes, we the women were sometimes told to watch our weight because the men had to lift us. Anyway, I’m so happy that you’re continuing corrections Seth!! Been here since your first episode of corrections and finally have a small bit of information to provide :)

Correction: you said "the amount of you who told me I was wearing safety glasses, not safety goggles..." but people are countable, so it would be "the number of you..."

Good luck on the emmy nominations! Bird Bane is an epic choice, although I don't envy you & your staff having to choose a single Corrections to submit! ❤🐾

As someone who was addicted to Carson's Comedy Classics as a kid, this was a special treat.

Yesss, I'm so glad it's Thursday night, and I get to watch Corrections!! 🐾🥰

CORRECTIONS - It is said that John Adams’ last words were “But Jefferson lives” although Jefferson had already died earlier in the day.

1:04 thanks - melts my jackal heart to be included

OMFGs - The pencil is a Corrections in-joke!!! The LNWSM ident / logo is actually a Corrections logo. The pencil in the ident is symbolising Corrections. *slightly breathless, by eureka moment after months long puzzlement, and running to the top of the already K deep Corrections feed, yelling ‘wextra wextra’*

Did anyone else catch "maybe he *was* the king" when Seth failed his first attempt to open the envelope? 9:21 A subtle but quick-witted homage to Carson!

The Johnny Carson bit was greatly under appreciated. Really nice homage.

I may be biased, but I think Episode 102 should be the Emmy submission.

The BirdBane song on the new Taylor Swift album is only on the CD version as a hidden track. Streaming services don't want you to know it exists.

I love this side of Seth

CORRECTIONS - Breaking the answering machine only broke the means of playing the message; the message was on the tape, so instead of throwing the cassette tape away he should have pulled all the tape out of the cassette to destroy the message. With the tape intact, anyone can get another answering machine and play the message again.

“Kenny says that’s extra”. So good 😂😂

I love corrections. I love that he uses jackal’s jokes. Even when they are bad

Cutting edge comedy... "Who shot JR?" Coming up next, "Who is Rosebud?"

My best friends moved to South Dakota (from Texas, where I have lived my entire life, and will unequivocally say is better than South Dakota in nearly every way aside from temperatures in the summer) I visited them in South Dakota exactly one time- late December, 2019, I was the ONLY PERSON on the flight to SD who was heading TO their vacation destination, EVERYONE else was headed home from their vacation. Based on this visit I can say that even 1 Dakota is 1 too many,

Again, I just love that this thing is real and happening. It's kinda like a toddler dancing or laughing really hard. Not the corner stone to a new movement or anything, but a flower in a sea of green leaves that makes you happy and smile, just for itself and the act of being.

1:56 Fun Fact: Ellen’s solution to Seth’s last minute Bird Bane mask idea was to just ask herself “Fred Armisen knows how to deal with Seth’s bullshit. What would he do?” . . . Put a bird on it!

Corrections is something I look forward to every week. Greatest way to welcome the weekend!

Should have asked Oliver to pick the Emmy submission episode when he was here. I heard he's had decent winning odds so far. 😉

Kenny says, "That's extra." 😂

The best Carnac the Magnificent answer: Sis, Boom, Bah.

Seth is a perfect combo of satire and comedy.

Genuinely brightens up my Friday whenever i see a new corrections, thanks to Seth and the team y'all are incredible

The captions today said "seen Enyas bush" 😉 we will tell you when we're done with it thank you ❤

It took me way too long to get the "crickets" joke 😂

My favourite time of the week!!! Wooohooo thank you for keeping this going

Chaz is the newest character in the Meyers Cinematic Universe

When you give your name to a dessert it’s pronounced “eponymousse”.

When Seth read the Pre-face of Celebrity Baby Teeth, he sounded just like John Mulaney. And his "you should have seen his face [fess]" joke right after was Chef's Kiss! 😄

Good Morning fellow Setholholics!😊from Canada -

My favorite Thursday night tradition is solidified.

Oh, and from the interview with Andy, we learn that Seth loves being asked what drink he is sipping during Corrections.

Once I saw that the answering machine wasn't even plugged in, my suspension of disbelief activated. Which it normally doesn't! I have a very hard time with that.

Birdbane is a character in power rangers, Taylor swift is obviously referring to that. If you listen closely there are a lot of subtle references to power rangers in her latest album

North and South Dakota are the same even for other people in the Midwest. Two Dakotas are the most unnecessary thing in US history.

The McWolf bit captioned as "It has a Wolf Seer in it", like some kinda paranormal sandwich...

I love that you always remember to say "see me next week". 😄

Need more CARNAC in my life!

"Those are two different places. Sure, but not to New Yorkers." Nor Danish people, either.

I may have gotten a hernia laughing at the first Karnak joke!

Hey, don't knock OSHA inspectors calling you on on spreading misinformation about eye protection. You joke, but they'll kick you off a ladder while still maintaining 3 points of contact.

I used to teach intro to biological anthropology. I told my students the correct pronunciation of Neanderthal and then one of my students told me that learning that meant that her entire life had been a lie and I had no idea how to reply to that.

I love the atmosphere on corrections

I loved “Safety Giggles” on the card. That was my favorite part! I love getting my safety giggles each week with corrections.

Laughed out loud at “those girls are getting chucked”

Seth is looking more and more like Larry with every episode of Corrections, just needs the awesome mustache
