One of the greatest things about Seth Meyers seems to be his ability to embolden great comedic voices with integrity. From his show, 2 of my favorite "new voices" in comedy are being formed (Amber & Jenny). I would not be surprised if in 10 years he has a legacy of having a formative influence on the biggest comedy personalities, coming close (or akin) to Jon Stewart.
Agree on the Seth Meyers. He is great. I love how he interviews his guests and his closer look and related segments. I don;t get my news from CNN, I got it from Closer Look :)
Great point! Seth definitely seems to have a lesser star than Jon Stewart and yet i would be hard pressed to think of someone that's bringing so much attention to new talent, although to be fair trevor noah is doing it somewhat i just don't watch him so idk lol. But seth's influence certainly helped amber get a show which is very jon stewart of him
Just lorne burning everyone, or better someone playing lorne and burning everyone and real lorne coming in at the end and the lornes start burning each other.
I've been in the public of Seth's show. He is indeed having a q&a and he is so kind and patient with the public. I really appreciated how nice he was to us. It's the little things that matter.
I have a friend (Joe) who knew him at Northwestern. Had a lot of good things to say about him. Seth would get Joe tickets to SNL and always made sure to catch up with him after the show.
That is so funny! I've done public speaking before and Seth is spot on talking about the 16 year old @ 9:30 that watched the show with such a stern face. While you see that person as someone that is NOT enjoying your message, they could be sitting there thinking how AWESOME you are and will be the first to approach you with gratitude! So hard to forgo judging books by their covers. Great session!
i felt so bad when they were talking about getting freaked out at audience members who don't seem to be enjoying the show because it reminded me of something. i went to see hannibal bures shoot his special in the twin cities a summer or two back. i am a quite large, bear-shaped fellow and i work very long, early hours at a hard job. so when he came on at like 9PM on a thursday i had been up since 5 AM and my ass was getting up at 5AM again the next day, i was just dead tired. so i sat there and loved the show, but i just didn't have the energy to give a big reaction. and later i started to think about how often he was looking at me just plopped there a few rows from stage staring at him like a serial killer and i felt so bad about it, because he did a great job and the show was great and i was probably freaking him the hell out the entire time. my favorite part of the show was when he started to tell his story about losing his wallet and his ID and a woman in the audience with total sincerity loudly gasped and went "OH NO!". he had to stop in the middle of the joke and just start laughing and he was like don't worry lady I'm here and I'm OK
You have just reminded me of something similar... without the stares from the stage or enjoyment of the show...also I'm not a large dude. I still work the same job, getting up at 5 or 6am for years. I'm used to it now obviously but it really ruined a few important events for me. George Carlin was my hero, since the 90s delivering papers listening to the stuff I taped off a weekly radio show on my yellow Sony Sports Walkman... I knew all the specials by heart, it's the reason I'm a huge fan of stand-up today, but I never saw live comedy for the first 20 or so years of my life. Finally in the mid-2000's I got tickets to see Carlin in Hamilton, Ontario. He walked out on stage, made a joke about "pussy-farts" which killed everyone but me, because I was ALREADY ASLEEP.. I was devastated to wake up to a standing ovation and him taking a bow and leaving. I think the people around me assumed I was drunk, but the person I was with knew I wasn't and let me sleep anyway! I don't think that was the last time he played near me, but he passed away not long after. That same summer: Same situation, except I was seeing my first music 'hero', Eric Clapton (with Jeff Beck no less)...Same thing happened, dead asleep and woke up to the encore. Was hard to go to work the next day after being stoked for months. "How was Clapton!?"...... I really killed it that summer... about 400 dollars in concert tickets to get a total of 4 hours sleep. Those first years of working a tough job with long hours really ruined a lot of evening experiences for me. haha Sorry to jump on your story but I'd honestly not thought much about these two events until I saw your comment. THANKS..
What a *fabulous* treat! I was in desperate need for some comic relief & this was WONDERFUL! I love how relaxed Che & Seth were onstage & with one another. You could tell they're friends & respect each other. It was so intimate that I felt as though I were eavesdropping on two extremely funny & fun-loving guys. *Thank you, Welcome Center!* I'm loving the gigantic welcome mat, btw!
I don't think I've ever seen seth not be in the "my show" position. Like even here, he's asking the questions. On snl , he was always visibly the head writer, like you could tell.
One of the things that speaks most to Seth's kindness and interest in listening is the amazing people he employs and/or is friends with. Michael is obviously one of the latter. Awesome talk!
Hilarious that this comment was before four seasons landscaping, sweating tar, inside out shoes, farting in court, blowing his nose and wiping his entire face with the snot....
@@howdier0362 don’t forget the enormous streak of sweat and hair dye running down his face, or the time he stuck his hands down his trousers when he thought he was alone with an actress playing a 15 year old...
I've got a fantasy of sitting in a living room listening to Michael Che and his friends talk about whatever random shit. I mean, he's funny without trying to be.
I watched that last skit, from backstage, that Seth wrote. Melissa was hilarious, even though the audience was having NONE OF IT. The fact the audience wasn't on board drove Melissa to commit even harder to the skit. We were all cracking up backstage. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fascinating (never mind brilliantly funny!) to learn all this, about Thor process! How they DO what they do, and what it’s like for them) ... And, ah! Jeez, they really are just so genuinely FUNNY! What a sweet ... blessing actually ... to get to LAUGH ... with them.
The 12 days not a slave is a hilarious idea, It sounds REALLY hard to land the punchlines right, where it’s funny, honest, but still gives the audience permission to laugh. I think it might have helped if there was a second black person with Jay in the sketch, so we weren’t low key thinking he was in mortal danger.
I’m English and we are probably more subdued than American audiences. I love both these guys humour and can see them going down really well over here. I’m working class and we are very different to the middle and upper class.
I agree- they'd do well- especially with Colin Jost. I taught public school in England and most people I met had a very dry sense of humour which I appreciate. I'd love to see these guys when no one laughs- and as I write this Che starts talking about how when he worked in the UK, it was so quiet and no one laughed until the end. They didn't want to miss one word.
So weird watching stuff that's 2 or 3 years old talking about how bad it got. Just wait. Somebody will see this comment 3 years from now and be like, "Oh, you didn't know those were the good times."
had to stop to watch "12 Days Not a Slave"... Edward Norton guessed starred. I can see how the audience felt guilty in laughing. You don't want to laugh but have to.
yes, i'll just place a call to the SNL switchboard lol. it'd be funny if they just did the sketch over and over again with different grammatical meanings
My friend ate magic mushrooms and went to see Tracy Chapman. He couldn't stop laughing because of the mushrooms. Tracy thought he was very rude and he felt bad about it.
you know who look exactly the same JOHN MULANEY why is no one talking about him and is anyone else notice he auditioned for snl 44 times and the first one was in 1975 yet he was born in the 1980's no i guess not but its okay
Now I understand why Seth Meyers was so uppity when I waited on him years ago during sxsw years ago. It might not have even been his celebrity ego. It could have actually been him judging me like every other person who has ever waited tables does when they go out to eat. Great tipper though.
