Late Night with Seth Meyers

Since day one, I watched every episode but he has succeeded to finally turn me off. The show should be renamed Late Night MSNBC. I don't want to end my night getting aggravated by politics. I am an independent who voted for Obama but Seth's constant bashing of Republicans is totally turning me off. I have noticed his mean attacks are even aimed at Sanders, as if Seth has made it his mission to get Hillary "Republicans are my enemy" Clinton elected. Bravo Seth! Good job making a loyal viewer give up on you. Even though I think your comedy is funny (Love the Venn Diagrams, Florida or Truth, Dog Shaming) your politics is not. Goodbye for now. If you decide to be a true comedy show in the future, I may consider watching again.

When Jay Leno announced his retirement of hosting NBC's The Tonight Show in 2014, Jimmy Fallon, known for being a cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live for 6 years (with him anchoring Weekend Update for his last 4) and hosted Late Night for 5 years, was announced that he'll be the new host of The Tonight Show, meaning that he'll be passing the torch of Late Night to the next guy, and that person is Seth Meyers.

Like Fallon, Meyers was also a cast member on SNL, and was known mainly for anchoring Weekend Update, co-anchoring with Amy Poehler for his first 2 years on Update until Poehler went on maternity leave and her eventual leaving the show, with him anchoring solo for most of the rest of his tenure until he was joined by Cecily Strong for the first half of SNL's 39th season. He would leave SNL midseason when he was announced as the new host of NBC's Late Night.

Meyers was notably nervous throughout his first year and a half of his tenure, but he did get more comfortable once the producers started to cater the show more towards his strengths, especially with his recurring bits like A Closer Look (my 2nd personal favorite bit), Corrections, Amber Says What? (which shoutout to Amber Ruffin, whom I absolutely love), Day Drinking (my personal favorite bit) and tied for my 2nd favorite recurring bit, Jokes Seth Can't Tell.

If you're a fan of Seth Meyers, then you won't regret watching his current show!

Although I tend to skip the monologue because it's overtly political. I get that's his niche. I really look forward to the thanksgiving episodes. I tear up at the family video clips sometimes. He seems very approachable. I like the more relaxed look.

The show has improved a lot. Seth definitely seems in control whenever he is pushing his political agenda (even though he needs to tone that down a bit). The "Closer Look" segment is the best part of his show and I am always looking forward to that. His show is different from the other late night shows because it is more educational. The show has taken itself seriously. The regular complain about the show not being funny enough is valid but that's a direction that the makers have decided and they want to attract a certain kind of audience. Conan is funnier than any other talk show host but its not your traditional late night show, is it?

Really liked what this guy says about Seth. So true-

About the monologue, he has some nights better than others but do all of them-

A very few of his jokes are kind of raunchy, I think he's surprising that way and still finding his way filling the late night space in his own way - it's a process people - so many things have been done before over the decades with so many hosts, after all

As for others who have referenced Craig Ferguson's gig - gee - the talking slightly animated skeleton was funny the first couple times it's watched, (with a little boozey help), but really!?! After awhile it'd get a tad distracting - " here I am watching a comedian with a talking skeleton - oh yeah - the comedian is talking now.... Time to listen"

I like the (a) level of maturity Seth brings
