Love Seth....and REALLY love this interviewer for allowing Seth to answer her questions uninterrupted.....too many time these journalists seem to think THEY are part of The Interview.....very refreshing to see this WP Journalist Elahe Izadi take charge of the interview but stay out of the way as well! Cheers Everyone
I was lucky enough to see him live on the day he told his second sons birth story. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and is as funny as hell.
Elizabeth Henry that must have been very special. It was definitely his most impressive show, the one show I want to remember him for.
I love Seth and his entire team. Thank you for what you all do!
He's so thoughtful and kind seeming. I love his show but I'm still surprised at how considerate and honest he comes across!
I love Seth... We don't have anything like him on a public stage in India. Funny. witty, humble and he has strong family values... all that and he is easy on the eyes. But the last thing is so shallow compared of all the wonderful real things he stands for... Thank for the humour Seth Meyers... And hi to Stefan hahahaha
I am not able to watch the entire show (like - ever - wrong continent), but I am always so excited to watch youtube videos from the night before.
Seth and his team are doing a fantastic job each day 🙌
Congrats on the show, keep doing what you do & THANK YOU!! 💕
I find him very attractive
The only reason I still have my sanity. Love you Seth!
Seth,
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Thank you for lightening my load in this tRump era. Need the laughs😊
This is one of the most insightful and clever commentary on comedy I have seen in a while
Seth and his crew are the best thing on tv these days. Thank you, Seth! Keep making smart & funny tv. We love you for it.
This interview is just as good as I thought it'd be! (btw do you really need that many pencils Seth? lmao)
This is so amazing to hear about the team you have around you. Very inspirational.
Seth is funny and seems like a decent human being. Long-time fan here.
Seth, Sam, Steven and Trevor keeping me sane when it comes to US politics
interesting you say that...I think Stephen's so much better...Seth is boring and Bee is annoying
The Colbert Show was more gritty and spicy, in comparison i feel like his current show is a sell out, which is fair to get some good money on his account, but therefor i only just watch now youtube clips and never the complette show anymore. I still like his humor, but many of his guest out of showbuisness i don't care for and i want to punch his band leader everytime he keeps interrupting with his laughing as if that would make something more funny ^^.
Sams voice is a bitter pill to swallow at times :) i give you that, though i got used to it, but she is fearless, on point with rightousness paired with that voice is somewhat funny, not to speak of i would never want to be on her bad side hrhr. No no no, she is comparable with my worst nightmare waiting in a dark alley jumping out of the shadows just shouting "booo" and then running of laughing. I regularly get my dose from "oh she didn't" to "oooh yeah she did".
Seth just seems to have a calming way i appreciate with so much bullshit in the news, while himself mostly having a rather clean humor, but then you get gems like Amber (says WHAT) which made me nearly fall of my couch first time i saw her and Seth incorporates many of his writers all the time which overall makes him very likeable in my eyes.
Trevor is in some ways simmilar to Sam i think as for both it took some getting used to them but now i enjoy watching them. He has good eyes for the injustices and like with the former daily show you also get these reporter pieces now and then which always make it worth while.
2 i forgot on my list are Bill Maher and John Oliver
Ha, I was about to ask if you forgot John. Because I feel the same.
@jkh sorry to disappoint, i don't have a closet.
@wanderbär less political and barely on this list is James Gordon, i find him very likeable and quite funny, also he has the best musical genius at his side Reggie Watts is the man.
I watch the 'A Closer Look' segments not only for the comedy, but also for the genuine commentary. This because, I don't put a whole helluva lot of attention on news conglomerates. Rather do I pick and choose certain comedians, reporters and pundits, that will garner my attention if it's apparent that what they're saying isn't playing into a larger, overall singular narrative. With Seth and folks like him, everybody is up for grabs, on both sides of the aisle -- and everywhere in between, really -- and they're all subsequently called out on their myriad levels of bull-roar. And, I like that very much!
Very nice interview. I always like seeing people in their own spaces - now I'm obsessed: why does he have so many pencils?!
why does he have a sriracha bottle behind him??
charis shin Also salt mill. It’s a sign that eats lunch at his desk.
Having a lot of pencils or pens gives some people confidence with their writing, or perhaps it confirms that they have ample writing instruments should they get on such a writing roll that they won’t run out of them.
I’m obviously super late to answer this question but he has all the pencils because he collects them. It’s something he’s done since he was a kid, and if I’m remembering correctly a lot of the pencils he keeps in his mug on his desk are like, special ones he’s had for a long time.
Seth, why do you have a sriracha sauce on your desk? 😂
Jessy Auclair because he's AWESOME!!!
Why wouldn't you?
I would like to thank seth [and other comedians] for bringing laughter into this age of trump , for which I am eternally gratefully for fear of my sanity in these frightful times ....for such laughter he brings , keeps me happy and stable, when my mind , is agog , to what is happening [bows in homage] :P
donna ford STFU IDIOT!
Trump is the Snowflake in chief Princess. Thin skinned narccisist ego manic . Drink the orange koolaide like . You might be a snowflake when you can't handle the truth and swallow not spit out Trumps 3027 lies.
Thanks for the smiles and chuckles Seth and Team as well as Colbert , Kimel, Oliver Sam Bee . But THE GREATEST JOKE IS FAUX NEWS. What a laugh a minute for fans of Goebells Mussolini . Goering , Stalin Putin and China. What a joke like the Liar in Chief.
@donna ford So tell me - what do you think are the genuinely positive policies and societal contributions that Trump has created for this country? Keep in mind that I believe the best way to eliminate the cancer that is you is to ask you genuine, serious questions about your beliefs, because either you leave without saying a thing because you're a troll and don't want to actually engage, you can't give an informed answer because you are informed by an ideologically cultivated media environment that values obsequiousness towards the political right in the US over objective fact, or it prompts you to actually think about what know and believe and your opinion changes. So again, tell us, everyone here - what good has Trump done for this country?
Edward olive : are you talking to me?
26:48 "It would be a real bummer to do it without an audience"
Oh. Oh no.
Watching in mid 2022. Yup.
This is the 2nd interview of Seth I've seen. He's so good at it. - I watch his show every night. If I miss it on TV, I catch it on RUclips. - Now, to the important stuff: Why does he need so many pencils? And is that really a bottle of hot sauce on his desk?
jesus dat workload -- props, Seth.
Amazing. Thanks, Seth!
Is that a bottle of Siracha on your desk? (Against the pile of books on the far corner)... what a fan! LOL
Washington Post,
Please make SUBTITLES for your videos. Sometimes your guest will speak softly at certain moments and there are a significant number of people who are hard of hearing. This is RUclips, so act like it!
Seth, breathe. Just breathe, please. 😂
Seth is the best !
“Closer Look” is the best. Thanks Seth and the writers! 💋
American humor can be VERY different to ours - Irish - but Seth and Colbert are consistently great. A touch apples and oranges, but their jokes and humor works very well with ours (Kimmel and others, however, tank; they don’t resonate here); we’re also very firmly embedded within American culture and politics, with caustic views of Trump and co that are pretty unforgiving of that awful oaf. So, Seth is fun to watch, and it’s interesting to get a peek behind the curtain at the man operating The Seth.
Ditto for this Canadian.
Where abouts in Ireland are you from?
Linda Minton Well, Ms ‘Leftists are destroying America’, I’ll be doing more than ‘sticking to being Irish for a while’ - I’ve been Irish since my first breath, and will be to my very last. It’s just who and what I am; neither good nor bad, but just a fact. Curious that you’d be implying that I somehow have a wavering identity - that’s a stance than an egregious troll was similarly trotting out over the last week, so it’s odd that You pop up in a similar vein. Two in one week - what are the random odds of that? As for jibes about leprechauns - my, how droll.
Seth and Stephen are well educated, quick witted and sensitive human beings. They both have a depth of knowledge and interests that I do not see in the other late night hosts.
At the same time, they are willing to be totally silly. I love all those things about them.
I heart Seth
Seth is so smart. And funny. And handsome!
Seth's so thoughtful and insightful. I love watching Late Night, as well as interviews with him. So proud:'-)
Is that Sriracha sause on Seth's desk?
2:09 Seth probably the best analogy you've ever given
Seth Meyers and Sam Bee... my political satire mum and dad
this was so necessary considering he was off this week
gotta love a guy who has a bottle of siracha on the desk
Really have grown to like him allot. ..one of my faves
Anybody else think Seth looks like Hugh Grant? Slack a British accent on him and he could pass for his brother, or son.
He auditioned for snl doing a hugh grant impression
Can't wait for a sane, competent POTUS to be elected, this is just ridiculous. Thanks for being one of the people to shed light on things and help get us through it.
You are amazing
Wow, three remotes, one Xbox controller, a portrait of Dylan, and some hot sauce. I like that office ☺️
He brings a unique energy and quality when he interacts with other writers, both as guests and staff interaction segments. Love it when he hosts old SNL friends on his show now, and truly wonderful when he does the Karen segments :) Love how he brings amazing camaraderie and compadre feeling to the table. Love it so much and love to see it 🤗❤️🌹
Oh hi, I'm just here to comment on a Seth Meyers video with only 24 comments so far. Hi Seth!
Excellent.
Hey, Washington Post: I know the newspaper business is in trouble, but maybe pony up the dough for a mic for the interviewer.
That's a really nice shirt. I wonder where he bought it?
What's the John Le Carre book back there?
he does more due diligence than so called journalists
I agree!!! Kids take up all of your time.
A person's desk is so telling about who they are. Not just what they do, but who they are. In my art room/office I have as many paintbrushes at the corner of my desk as he has pencils.
Hey WaPo! Love this interview. But what's going on w/ your B-Cam? Color/focus/vignette all over the place. I'm looking for a job right now and I think I can help you out.
SETH IS GREAT
you gotta love someone who has a dylan pic nearby..
....and ROOSTER sauce!
Watching in mid 2022. So many things. So many many things….
#LoveSeth
No shade but is this interview years old or is Seth an avid Xfinity remote collector? I haven’t seen the silver one in years
Listen. He's on at 1am. NBC only gets the new remotes for The Tonight Show.
Huh- it's like seeing your teacher wearing jeans- weird.
Sriracha just hanging out in the background
and then there's popsicle schtick. ;)
I remember watching Seth at the beginning and it was painful; he's grown into the job nicely.
Seth is legit. I knew of several late night hosts years ago but just started listening regularly last year. I only thought Maher, Colbert, Oliver and Stewart were smart and funny. Seth is dope.
Sriracha. Love you Seth.
Oh but I do love u Seth sadly I hate commercials so I’m all about your RUclips’s so make sure the powers at be take that into consideration. That whole late late show in the bed went out the window when Conan left for me. But I rock with whatever u put ur name on!
Great interview! Would like to have increase in volume/mic for interviewer to make more cohesive
3:26-3:48 What did Seth think about Comey getting fired? Has he heard of the 'Firing Line'? Has he watched 'All the Presidents Men' and 'The Pelican Brief'?
Wow sometimes he wakes up at 6am???
Like Seth. Kind of surprised that the production on this is so amateur. Focus all over the place, as is the audio. Interns?
Bob Dylan :)
Sorry Seth , you are a good man
I thought it said "seth meyers says 'down with the post'" at first and was excited to see where that was gonna go
Microphone levels are awful..buy some decent recording kit, WaPo.
I don't know if it's the mic levels or the fact that Seth trails off at the end of lots of sentences and just sort of croaks at a low volume level--what's called "vocal fry"--something that used to be a thing just with younger women (listen to Kim Kardashian, for instance) but it's spreading.
Jude F. It's supposed to be that way. They want to feature the guest, not themselves.
Well, there's no guest on this video. If you mean he talks like on his show, I'd hate to think that speaking clearly is now considered egotistical.
Jude F. Seth is the guest. And in this informal setting I guess that's how it is. I'm not taking up for them, I just know how this works. Kinda! Ha! But your point is well taken, maybe they will read this!
Oops, I misread what you said originally. "They" meaning WaPo. Now I understand.
13:16 Pete Davidson
Why is this shot and edited so poorly? Great interview, just figure out how to shoot/cut.
Seth is an Xbox guy!
anthrogend he is also a sriracha guy 😌
Articulate, intelligent, educated. And as "the Stuport" says great journalism from the interviewer allowing him to talk. Pity we can't hear her questions though.
17:36 *There’s always a way things can get crazier* _RIGHT YOU ARE SETH_ 🗣 *My next guest is the same nut job I’ve been talking about but his latest performance is that of President* _during a pandemic_ ... *Ladies and gentlemen: The guy who made a cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and now the person who controls how many ventilators your state will receive if your Governor is nice to him...* _Donald Jessica Trump❗️_
zoom out!!! i feel like me and seth are making out
Rad
There's something about his eyes, voice and mouth that freaks me out.
7:48 No this is the worst question for every comedian. Trump has dominated not only the news with his shinanagan but he's put his hand right on the vagina of almost all comedy's main topic issue.
All this video does is make me think that USAians have a completely unreasonable attachment to work.
He tried to cover the Israel Gaza massacre by only covering how Jared smiled during the new embassy opening meanwhile completely glossing over the issue. He consciously made the decision not to talk about it. That really showed his true character. I understand how comedians want to keep things light but he shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place. He completely whitewashed the tragedy. I don’t watch his show anymore unless Amber does her bit!
Shouldn't you be angry about the way the news media whitewashed the massacre rather than a comic?
So so WOKE.
they should cancel this show
Not funny
Seth Meyers is gross
I feel zero empathy for seth esther... His titanic will sink... He will host...at dennys
