@@justintruong9063 - Agreed. Plus, i hope they get a fair deal so at least some of us are getting paid our worth. We can live vicariously through them.
@@justintruong9063I hope we don’t get a Writers Strike ‘07 Reprise. It was miserable for all involved, but especially for employees that work behind the scenes and were out of work for several months. The people that live paycheck-to-paycheck or close to it. Also, the last strike gave us the tidal wave of TLC style “reality” shows and formulaic “talent” shows. And heaven knows we don’t need more of those. (They existed before the Strike, but networks invested in them even more after it to insulate themselves so that they’d have “strike-proof” programming just in case.)
The average starting salary for writers on late shows is over 4 grand a week and it's not essential work. I'm not just going to blindly support this strike.
Seth you're a class act. Sitting down and telling jokes for a while then flipping a switch and giving a genuine, heartfelt message in support of the people who support you. Never change.
@@megmeyering2644 cause whenever democratics are in Trouble they hide like always. It’s so stupid how they use comedy to make a point that doesn’t make sense and then want you to do it believe them the most racist group of people. I I also love how he’s talking about how Trump talks about how he wants money centre but the Democrats always do it like every fucking time. It pisses me off.
I have always felt that Seth was the one late night host who backed his writers, with Jokes Seth Can't Tell and Surprise Inspection he gives them the spotlight. He seems to know that without the writers he would not be where he is, thank you Seth!
Yeah I’ve noticed that! Even in Corrections he’s often referencing specific writers. There’s no other late night show whose writers were ever known by name to the audience as far as I can tell. Says a lot about him.
Conan was good at it too. A lot of his writers would be the zany characters in the skits he did, and when he left NBC to go to TBS he brought i think all his staff and crew that wanted to make the move with him. Being a former writer himself, im sure he understood how much of the program utterly depended on them working hard.
Seth & Conan are especially good to their staff because they both started as writers, they know what it's like. Plus, I think Seth & Conan are both just good dudes.
I really hope they work out an equitable deal for the writers. Everyone deserves to be paid a fair wage for their work and time. Employers in this country have lost sight of that fact.
WOW! Imagine having a job where you're not just allowed - you're ENCOURAGED to be creative! The polar opposite of some 'progressive' organisations such as the Civil(!) Service (ugh). Fair play to the writers and ALSO all other 'backroomers' - the unsung heroes - best of luck folks and thank you..

@@JohnWarner-lu8rq Did the previous generation have that same weird time slot? My memories from when I watched back then are... fuzzy. If so, I stand corrected sir.
I appreciate Seth taking the time to openly root for his writers. Comedy and wit are incredible gifts that make life bearable. It takes years of observation and trial and error to develop the skills. It’s worthy of respect and a good wage.
Lmao they settled the strike on the grounds that they can get paid to use AI to do their job for them. But, yeah, worthy of respect and a good wage. And the right to put a ton of grips, lighting techs, makeup artists and other extremely necessary people out of work for several months.
I perform 6 shows a day 5 days a week at the local High School as a science teacher. I can say from experience that great writing is a must!! The eye rolls I get from the teens are legendary, and the reviews are brutal! Seth Meyers et al are an essential part of my mental health. Pls come to an agreement!!!
Incredible A Closer Look! Seth! !really needed a good laugh tonight! PLEASE THOSE WHO WRITE THE CHECKS GIVE THE WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!!!! WE ALL NEED THIS NOW!

@@dougcrane8031 its anywhere from 60000 a year to 200000 a year, late night writers seem to make the most at 4000 a week, im not saying they dont deserve more because i aint paying them but they arent starving in the street.
Well.........they are going to get they bigotry fix from somewhere else. It's great that FOX has lost revenue, but the MAGA's are not going to have an epiphany.
They don't get most of their $$ from The News. They make billions getting FOX on streaming companies. Most of us have it though we never watch it?? They get paid mega bucks for the services to include all FOX stations? Maybe some streaming services will take them down if they see nobody wants to watch the BS?? Until then FOX will continue to be paid billions in streaming fees?

@@EstbXCIII If you're the only right-wing comedian on air, ofc you're gonna get higher ratings than any single comedian in the left-to-centrist half of the equation where there's sooo many more. Imagine a town with many burger places, and you open up a Pizzeria. You'll probably get more customers than any single burger place - does that make pizza better than burgers? No.
@@Adowrath imagine a industry that doesn't highlight conservatives valjes in the first place and ONLY caters to Left wing audiences. Then have the nerve to say that the right is systematically oppressing the masses while the Left literally dominates the that specific system lol Gutfeilds numbers are the direct result of a politically homogenous entertainment buisness.
It was nice to get real Seth for a moment. You're a treasure Seth. Thankyou for bringing the writers jokes to life. You're show makes the insane world we live in a little easier to navigate with the power of laughter.
Holy Hell 😳 I had no clue that Seth’s show airs so late! I remember being one of the strange kids in elementary school because I could make small talk with my teachers and administrators because I always watched Carson, and then Leno. I loved Letterman. I was a weird kid that would sneak to stay awake past my bedtime just so I could watch late night talkshows and SNL was my party every weekend. And now that I’m finally old enough to enjoy late night talk tv shows unapologetically… I very rarely stay awake past 10p. I really appreciate how you guys get to RUclips so quickly and reliably.
I was also THAT KID. I would tape Carson on cassette and study it and regale my friends with my Jack Benny, Buddy Hackett and Jimmy Sewart impressions. I used Rickle's insults as my own. This day, when I drive in LA and pass a certain exit I hear Carson in the skit he did with the buxom blonde, a map and a pointer:" Go to the Slawson Cutoff, get off, and cutoff your slawson". Yep I was a weird kid. I never grew up.
Precociousness is not being a weird kid. Its our modern culture that discourages kids from enjoying adult things. And by "adult" I dont mean sex, drugs, and profanity, although thats also part of it. What I mean is, adults hate it when kids are allowed access to worldly affairs. Academia is a ruse to keep kids in line, because religion was becoming obsolete as a discliplinary rod.
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR RUclips STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
I also appreciate your candor outlining the essential work the writers do on your and all our behalf. I've seen a lot of hosts lately acknowledge the team effort it takes to bring us entertainment and amusement and I hope we see more of that in the future. I wish you and your team the best and hope you can come up with an amicable solution.
The "joke for every generation" callback arc was a prime example of great writing, all the best for an agreement that enacts the very reasonable demands of the hard working and talented writers!
You guys get better and better. You guys deserve what you are asking for. I hope you'll be there tomorrow. Seth, it's great that you made that calling at the end. ❤❤
100+ days later, and the production companies/studio execs/etc. have still yet to give the writers (And actors) what they deserve. Fair compensation, a lack of A.I., min numbers in the writers' room, and respect.
I remember the 2007-2008 writers strike. The daily show and the Colbert report kept airing new episodes and they were HORRIBLE. It showed me just how awesome and essential writers are. Stay on the air and remind ppl why we need to pay our writers well!!
Please please I so hope you can continue on without interruption!! You and your writers are what make us feel confident in getting the truth out there with some much needed comedy in these crazy times! Wishing you and your staff all the best!
Honestly I'd be kind of shocked if no other fox anchors get fired. I mean tucker was their most popular anchor, and they dropped him without warning. Pirro and Bartiromo are definitely in the literal firing line.
Correction: Your show isn’t just built on the writers, but also your willingness to share the spotlight with them, and give them the credit they so utterly deserve. Stay strong and come back when the dust has settled.. so that we may mercilessly nitpick you into oblivion. Signed, A. Jackal.
Granted, funny jokes are quite pleasant, but what about the average Scot who believes Hair Trumpler is a menacing garden gnome or monster leprechaun and warns fellow Scots to not make eye contact?
Hope the Writers are able to have a good outcome. It's been difficult for many people the last few years. Glad you & the team are working. Thanks for posting.
These writers and the crew are excellent! Give them what they want and don't interrupt a show that gives us hope and lets us laugh at our situation! Brilliant people deserve respect! Also, more stories of new we need right now!! Please? Love that!

@@vickimcburney8977 Duane seeks out videos to complain about, just to showcase how much of a far-right crybaby he is. He's offended by literally everything that doesn't cater specifically to him, he hates other people getting fair treatment (apparently), and he acts like he knows everything while constantly misusing words & spouting debunked nonsense as if his feelings will change the facts of reality. Ten bucks says he's a lonely neckbeard with nothing better to do than troll YT, like a whiny 12-year-old who just got banned from Call of Duty for being too toxic.
Yeah there's no real concern over the Russia Ukraine war. What could go wrong? And there's Just a itsy bitsy tad of inflation and high interest rates. And the country being so divided isnt a worry. The opposition are nice people who arentl blindly partisan and obtuse. And we either cant have an abortion or even the gays are seething for more abortion rights. Even though straights and ironically, Christian straits, are gays main source of population. And if we could keep calling everyone racist or other labels, thats nothing to be alarmed about. When you want your way call everyone a murderer or cry victim. And all the endless charges against Trump and none against the Bidens is really going to satisfy everyone that the govt isnt tilted to one side. You only think that whn youre losing, right? But not if you win. And we can always count on bi partisan support for military endeavors. Economic recessions and downturns are just normal now. Why worry? For 60 years plus Democrats have been the figurehead of blk politics and have rendered them to a paltry and stagnant population rate of only 14 percent. Nothing alarming about that. Its always been that way....
@@MossyMozart I'm not being nasty. I liked the comment knowing that I am old too :-) It's just a number in the end, nothing to be offended about, in fact usually the higher the number the more wisdom is expected of you.

@@JohnWarner-lu8rq Did the previous generation have that same weird time slot? My memories from when I watched back then are... fuzzy. If so, I stand corrected sir.
@@timecowx My memory is fuzzy too but I do recall that being the strange but standard time slot for Late Night shows.
@@JohnWarner-lu8rq Man, if only opinions were subjective.
That newsreel narration was brilliant. Big ups to Seth and the writers. Best wishes.
impression camp ---worth every penny
I appreciate Seth taking the time to openly root for his writers. Comedy and wit are incredible gifts that make life bearable. It takes years of observation and trial and error to develop the skills. It’s worthy of respect and a good wage.
Lmao they settled the strike on the grounds that they can get paid to use AI to do their job for them. But, yeah, worthy of respect and a good wage. And the right to put a ton of grips, lighting techs, makeup artists and other extremely necessary people out of work for several months.
A Closer Look never fails to make me laugh and smile.
Mad ditto!
Me too! Love it!

Awesome closer look 👀 ❤
Hope everything works out for everyone. We all love this show. Best thing to watch after a long day at work.
Glad to hear you are supporting the Writers Guild. Thanks Seth.
I perform 6 shows a day 5 days a week at the local High School as a science teacher. I can say from experience that great writing is a must!! The eye rolls I get from the teens are legendary, and the reviews are brutal!
Seth Meyers et al are an essential part of my mental health. Pls come to an agreement!!!
As another teacher I truly appreciate this comment.
Incredible A Closer Look! Seth! !really needed a good laugh tonight! PLEASE THOSE WHO WRITE THE CHECKS GIVE THE WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!!!! WE ALL NEED THIS NOW!
Thank you Seth and the late night writers. We support you in the strike.
We miss you more than you know. Stay strong with your demands, the people and fans of your hard work support you 💯%!!!
This was a great Closer Look. Just fun, informative, and hilarious. Also the end explanation was so well done.
The mini golf clown😂😂😂 I was having such a bad day, my depression is trying to creep back I needed that laugh!! Thanks so much Mr.Seth Meyers!! Rooting for the writers as well!! It's rough out here in these 'Merika streets🤭🤭🤭 Please keep the laughs coming we (the world) needs them!!
Same for me! That image side by side was like an extra dose of Wellbutrin.
Absolutely loved the closing comment. Here's to story tellers and writers. Live long and prosper! And here's to hope in negotiation.
[sees this]
Oh! The writers reached an agreement! Congrats, guys! :D
[reaches the end]
HANG IN THERE, WRITERS 💜
I felt bad for them too. Then today I googled how much WGA writers make. It's not a small amount
@@mkechandler5776 And?
@@mkechandler5776 Strongly disagree. Other roles get more and writers imo are the lifeblood of any production. Without writers nothing gets made.
@@dougcrane8031 its anywhere from 60000 a year to 200000 a year, late night writers seem to make the most at 4000 a week, im not saying they dont deserve more because i aint paying them but they arent starving in the street.
@@carl1367on the other hand, consider what rent is where they live (NY, LA)
Fox viewership is down 56%.
The one good thing Tucker has done.
Well.........they are going to get they bigotry fix from somewhere else. It's great that FOX has lost revenue, but the MAGA's are not going to have an epiphany.
Just can’t believe there are so many Americans likes to be abused.
And more false fox "reporters" to come.
Newsmax is up 50 percent.
It is not like they saw the light they ran further down the rabbit hole.
They don't get most of their $$ from The News. They make billions getting FOX on streaming companies. Most of us have it though we never watch it?? They get paid mega bucks for the services to include all FOX stations? Maybe some streaming services will take them down if they see nobody wants to watch the BS?? Until then FOX will continue to be paid billions in streaming fees?
Seth is the true King of Latenight. And consistently spotlighting the writers just cements the superiority of this show.
Numbers don't lie.
Gutfeild is king 👑 of Late Night.
@@EstbXCIII the only reason that hack has the numbers he does is because conservative morons have nowhere else to get their excuse for comedy. People with sense know that they have choices. And it's Gutfeld not Gutfeild.
@@EstbXCIII If you're the only right-wing comedian on air, ofc you're gonna get higher ratings than any single comedian in the left-to-centrist half of the equation where there's sooo many more.
Imagine a town with many burger places, and you open up a Pizzeria. You'll probably get more customers than any single burger place - does that make pizza better than burgers? No.
@@Adowrath imagine a industry that doesn't highlight conservatives valjes in the first place and ONLY caters to Left wing audiences.
Then have the nerve to say that the right is systematically oppressing the masses while the Left literally dominates the that specific system lol
Gutfeilds numbers are the direct result of a politically homogenous entertainment buisness.
I can literally be so depressed and worried about things. But everytime Seth does his impressions of Lindsay Graham, I crack up.
My personal favorite!
When I see Lindsey talk, I hear Seth's impression. 😂
And that's saying a lot, because Lindsey Graham is no joking matter.
😅 he really paints a scene with Memaw and them.
I love it when he yells at Meemaw
Big on Seth for using his platform to stand with the writers as a former writer himself.
Well said!
Best comedy writers on television. Good luck in your negotiations!
thats a sweet note at the end! very nice to see you support the union!
Genuinely admire you for taking the time to so eloquently address the strike Seth!
It was nice to get real Seth for a moment. You're a treasure Seth. Thankyou for bringing the writers jokes to life. You're show makes the insane world we live in a little easier to navigate with the power of laughter.
Love Seth❤
You have great writers, Seth, and you're a great host. Best wishes to the writers!
Hell yeah, Seth! Thanks for showing support for writers. Love your show.
Holy Hell 😳
I had no clue that Seth’s show airs so late!
I remember being one of the strange kids in elementary school because I could make small talk with my teachers and administrators because I always watched Carson, and then Leno. I loved Letterman. I was a weird kid that would sneak to stay awake past my bedtime just so I could watch late night talkshows and SNL was my party every weekend.
And now that I’m finally old enough to enjoy late night talk tv shows unapologetically… I very rarely stay awake past 10p. I really appreciate how you guys get to RUclips so quickly and reliably.
I was also THAT KID. I would tape Carson on cassette and study it and regale my friends with my Jack Benny, Buddy Hackett and Jimmy Sewart impressions. I used Rickle's insults as my own. This day, when I drive in LA and pass a certain exit I hear Carson in the skit he did with the buxom blonde, a map and a pointer:" Go to the Slawson Cutoff, get off, and cutoff your slawson". Yep I was a weird kid. I never grew up.
Do you remember Night after Night with Alan Havey? The audience of one?
Precociousness is not being a weird kid. Its our modern culture that discourages kids from enjoying adult things.
And by "adult" I dont mean sex, drugs, and profanity, although thats also part of it. What I mean is, adults hate it when kids are allowed access to worldly affairs.
Academia is a ruse to keep kids in line, because religion was becoming obsolete as a discliplinary rod.
And now some high schools start as early as 7 a.m. 😮
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR RUclips STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Thanks for the Union Support, Seth.
Thank you for standing with your co-workers. We all need to stand for unions
I also appreciate your candor outlining the essential work the writers do on your and all our behalf. I've seen a lot of hosts lately acknowledge the team effort it takes to bring us entertainment and amusement and I hope we see more of that in the future. I wish you and your team the best and hope you can come up with an amicable solution.
ANOTHER AWESOME CLOSER LOOK! THANKS SETH!!
The "joke for every generation" callback arc was a prime example of great writing, all the best for an agreement that enacts the very reasonable demands of the hard working and talented writers!
Thank you Seth for standing in solidarity with the Writers! 💛✨
did the writers write that last talking point about the writer's strike for him lol?
You guys get better and better. You guys deserve what you are asking for. I hope you'll be there tomorrow. Seth, it's great that you made that calling at the end. ❤❤
100+ days later, and the production companies/studio execs/etc. have still yet to give the writers (And actors) what they deserve. Fair compensation, a lack of A.I., min numbers in the writers' room, and respect.
Good on Seth and Co. For standing in solidarity with the guild
LMFAO" Tucker Carlson seen here recording a hostage video from inside a Bass Pro Shop " 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That's freaking hysterical 😂😂😂 Thanks for the laughs!!!
I’m not actually sure this was a joke, it looks pretty spot on 😉
I remember, it was a fact.
Hysterically spot on!!! I'm still lmfao 🤣😂
Seth nearly botched that line, ended the pause after "bass" just in time.
(I got a couple sick Penn Reels at Bass Pro Shop, btw.)
I remember the 2007-2008 writers strike. The daily show and the Colbert report kept airing new episodes and they were HORRIBLE. It showed me just how awesome and essential writers are. Stay on the air and remind ppl why we need to pay our writers well!!
Please please I so hope you can continue on without interruption!! You and your writers are what make us feel confident in getting the truth out there with some much needed comedy in these crazy times! Wishing you and your staff all the best!
Honestly I'd be kind of shocked if no other fox anchors get fired. I mean tucker was their most popular anchor, and they dropped him without warning. Pirro and Bartiromo are definitely in the literal firing line.
Thanks for supporting the writers Seth, you're awesome! ❤
Great show and I appreciate your support of the writers and how important they are. I too hope their negotiations go quick and you are back soon.
Correction:
Your show isn’t just built on the writers, but also your willingness to share the spotlight with them, and give them the credit they so utterly deserve.
Stay strong and come back when the dust has settled.. so that we may mercilessly nitpick you into oblivion.
Signed,
A. Jackal.
Hear! Hear! Couldn't have correction'd better myself.
@spacemilk You must be fun at parties.
Love ❤
Granted, funny jokes are quite pleasant, but what about the average Scot who believes Hair Trumpler is a menacing garden gnome or monster leprechaun and warns fellow Scots to not make eye contact?
Sure. Cringe. Ok, not new but I'm not going to cry over spilled@spacemilk.
Seth you are setting a wonderful example and we your viewers support you and all writers
Seth is, and continues to be, a class act.
Thanks for supporting your union writers.
I'm shocked that Maria Bartiromo wasn't fired before Tucker Carlson.
Word is that he was trying to get canned because he wants to run for office.
She was PHQUIN Kevin McCarthy according to a jackal’s tale….
Get rid of that screaming Judge Gina, or who ever she calls herself.
I'm shocked she found someone to hire her in the first place.
Fox will have to settle with Smartmatic pretty soon. Maybe Bartiromo will be fired in round 2.
Kudos to you for taking the time for this message
Had to watch this one twice in a row it was so good. Thank you for supporting the writers.
For a man suing Disney, he has a uncanny impression of Dopy.
🤣
😂 omg I totally see it now😂 here I was thinking he was trying to be Tucker.
Yet, he acts like the missing dwarf, Sleazy.
*Dopey
More like a guy getting screwed by a mouse.
I already have so much respect for you Seth but the way you closed out that segment made me respect you even more than I thought possible 👊
Hope the Writers are able to have a good outcome. It's been difficult for many people the last few years. Glad you & the team are working. Thanks for posting.
These writers and the crew are excellent! Give them what they want and don't interrupt a show that gives us hope and lets us laugh at our situation! Brilliant people deserve respect! Also, more stories of new we need right now!! Please? Love that!
If the writers were any good and this was truly entertaining, their ad revenue wouldn’t be down over 40%.
And maybe they would draw a couple million viewers every night.
But that’s not happening.
@@duanemartin1383 Why are you watching Seth if the writers are no good? Troll much?
@@vickimcburney8977 Duane seeks out videos to complain about, just to showcase how much of a far-right crybaby he is. He's offended by literally everything that doesn't cater specifically to him, he hates other people getting fair treatment (apparently), and he acts like he knows everything while constantly misusing words & spouting debunked nonsense as if his feelings will change the facts of reality.
Ten bucks says he's a lonely neckbeard with nothing better to do than troll YT, like a whiny 12-year-old who just got banned from Call of Duty for being too toxic.
We miss you… keep pushing what what you deserve… I’m re watching old episodes like a fiend…. Love yahll
Well “paranoia and fear” have been Fox New’s main selling points, so…
Yeah, it's only appropriate that they live it too.
Sweet ironic karma
Reminds me of a Jamie M Commons song: Karma.
Didn't expect them to get high off their own supply though.
Yeah there's no real concern over the Russia Ukraine war. What could go wrong? And there's Just a itsy bitsy tad of inflation and high interest rates. And the country being so divided isnt a worry. The opposition are nice people who arentl blindly partisan and obtuse. And we either cant have an abortion or even the gays are seething for more abortion rights. Even though straights and ironically, Christian straits, are gays main source of population. And if we could keep calling everyone racist or other labels, thats nothing to be alarmed about. When you want your way call everyone a murderer or cry victim. And all the endless charges against Trump and none against the Bidens is really going to satisfy everyone that the govt isnt tilted to one side. You only think that whn youre losing, right? But not if you win. And we can always count on bi partisan support for military endeavors. Economic recessions and downturns are just normal now. Why worry? For 60 years plus Democrats have been the figurehead of blk politics and have rendered them to a paltry and stagnant population rate of only 14 percent. Nothing alarming about that. Its always been that way....
Can we all take a moment to recognize the fact that Seth would’ve been an amazing early 20th century broadcast personality?
You coulda just said "if you're old, like this comment" :-)
@@knowEyeDeer - Why do you need to post natiness?
@@MossyMozart That is because KnowEyeDeer is nasty.
@@MossyMozart I'm not being nasty. I liked the comment knowing that I am old too :-)
It's just a number in the end, nothing to be offended about, in fact usually the higher the number the more wisdom is expected of you.
Try to keep in mind that it's much better to be assumed a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I've been trying to imagine Seth as a hard news guy, and in my head, it always turns out to be a joke setup. It'd be cool to see him play one in a movie though.
Stand in solidarity. Pay people their worth.
fingers crossed the studios do the right thing
Hope to see you tomorrow, Seth!
Thank you for valuing your writers. ❤️
Thank you Seth for saying your show is at 12:37 IN THE MORNING, and not at night. You go boy.
I actually didn't know that was what time he was on, I've watched him for a few years religiously. They upload to RUclips at 7pm-MST 😏
well just thank god he didn't say "12:30 a.m. in the morning", that drives me bonkers.
Best show ever. Come back as soon as possible please. Love you. Kind regards from Croatia.
