    I could listen to Seth for hours. As a host or as the person being interviewed, he is a great listener and conversationalist. He engages with the person he's with in an authentic way but doesn't need to make himself the center of every story. He always expresses an awareness of the many blessings he has and appreciation for the people who have helped him reach where he is. I'm genuinely happy to see him succeed and wish him nothing but the best. I could be mistaken, but I feel he's the type of person who would be just as nice speaking with a "regular" person as he is when speaking on camera with celebrities.

    Love that Seth writes down the funny things his kids say and presents them as a gift for his wife on mother's day.
    I worked at a daycare center and preschool in the 90's and still have scraps of paper with funny things kids said.

      @sir_vix 11 месяцев назад +27

      Based upon the degree of restraint I had to exert to avoid inventing some flimsy premise to correct you on, I think there needs to be a direction for jackals to begin correcting pre-corrections content as some kind of corrections-methadone

    I want to see a comedy show from Seth Myers on parenting. When he talked about "using this calm ineffective voice and yelling at your kids in public places," that's relatable and funny. Another normal comic. Thank you. And Seth Myers' inability to dance is a block! Does he have teenagers yet, because the way he talks about his kids, doesn't sound like they've hit puberty yet. I want to hear when his kids become adolescents, a true test of the signature Seth Myers niceness.

    Studio 60 never got a fair shake. Those of us who were fans tend to think that it didn't really lose out to 30 Rock ... it more lost out to Friday Night Lights. (Though fair to say, if 30 rock hands existed it might have gotten a 2nd season at a different time).
    30 rock and Studio 60 were not the same show. Same setting, VERY different shows.

    1:26:44 Another reason to love Seth! I lived in Brugge from 2002-2003. We were back in the U.S. when In Bruges came out. We probably annoyed the other people in the theater. When the actors are walking around the park talking about "nooks and crannies," they walk by a playground. Spouse and I said at the same time, "They got a new playground!" We went there every day with our toddler because we were about a block away. The previous playground was wood and caused slivers. It had a super tall slide. When you climbed to the top to go on the slide, there was a toddler-sized gap between the ladder and the platform. We love In Bruges, not only for the script and acting, but for the nostalgia.
