This jackals paws started typing when Seth said cicadas live for 17 days. They actually live underground for 17 YEARS and then they go above ground to change into their adult form when they live for the 2 weeks. It’s probably during the 17 years underground when they develop their love for musical theater.
Nathan is such as solid delight! And I love how he makes Seth giggle nonstop. Imagine being seated next him at a dinner party or wedding or reception. A true delight!
Nathan Lane will forever be the brightest light on ANY stage. I love that man. With all he's done, my favorites have always been *The Bird Cage* and *The Producers.*
there wasn't a single moment while watching this interview that i wasn't busting out laughing. i can't believe he was a BACK-UP. can he please be a regular guest??
Love him so much❤️❤️. Nathan Lane is so underrated in Hollywood, for many years. I'ts a real shame. Brillant actors : A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Frankie & Johnny, The Birdcage, Mousehunt, Guys and Dolls, Love Valor Compassion, The Front Page, The Iceman Cometh, The Nance (❤️), The Producers, Angels In America, American Crime Story People Vs Oj Simpson, Penny Dreadful City Of Angels (He's excellent in that role, he would have deserved an Emmy), The Good Wife, Encore encore, or Modern Family.
This is one of the best segments I've ever seen on a talk show - very possibly *the* best. It was like watching a real pitch between theater people. It was beyond merely being funny; it was a privilege to watch.
Yes, I kept hearing this playing over in my head as they talked about it last night. "Cicada/Cicada" reminds me of the musical version of Kafka's Metamorphosis that "The Producers" rejected as being "too good."
I think he was the original cicada, but then Christine Baranski expressed interest. He can be the guy that sells the cockroach his cigarettes. Or maybe he can play Pizza Rat.
That's fake news. But why? Who doesn't like Nathan Lane? Nathan Lane won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for playing Timon in Timon & Pumbaa (TV series) and Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for playing Spot/Scott in Teacher's Pet.
**TW FOR THE REGULARS** Make sure you're sitting, alone, and don't have anything around you (except your prescribed inhaler) for this video-- First I spilt soup allover my bed, then I was contorted in half wheezing and hyperventilating until I fell onto the floor doing that silent, ugly laugh. I still can't believe my favorite Roald Dahl book- A cricket in times Square was mentioned. Bookmarked, saved for future smiles.
@@margauxf4321 :) sorry for being THAT person, but I figured if anyone could handle a correction on the internet, it would be someone on a Seth Meyers comment thread
Seth, if you can't - with the power of 30 rock behind you get Cicada, Cicada off the ground in some form. After teasing us all this time - I think collectively we'll all be disappointed. And you'll hear about it in Corrections for the rest of life of the segment.
I'm dying that seth had nathan lane on in the hour after sondheim confirmed he and bernadette peters had done a reading of his new show premiering next season and missed the scoop because of too much cicada, cicada chat 😂😂😂
I'm genuinely beside myself at just the possibility this might actually happen. I'm booking my plane ticket to NYC the minute this goes up on Broadway!! 🤩
I am so glad I finally got to hear more about Cicada, Cicada. I am obsessed with this musical, and the only part of the show I know is: “17 years with my head in the ground and my heart in my throat and my wings that a yearning to fly…” I sing this line at least once a month.
Does anyone else think the Jackals could totally crowd fund this thing? I mean, we'd be nightmare producing partners, constantly correcting the script, but still...
When did The Mets get added to "Cicada Cicada"?? I wish Seth had showed Nathan how the cockroach smokes. lol Laughed so loud when Nathan Lane said that about keeping a clean apartment!
you know, I'm trying to be nice, the pedants come out and correct everyone and everything, ruining it for everyone. So I won't comment directly, I'll be passagg about it and comment up here in the general section.
I absolutely cannot wait for The Gilded Age. The cast is AMAZING. And, more appearances on Late Night by Nathan Lane. Then, Cicada-Cicada in summer stock.
Watching your character turn into the heavy episode by episode was the highlight of my quarantine. Drama, Nathan. You've the gift. Being accustomed to your smiling eyes for decades, seeing your face go stone cold was amazing. Just one of those scenes you never forget. Thanks pal. I'm hoping we get to see more. Anyway. Bravo! 💖💖

Nathan Lane makes any room he walks into infinitely funnier
😂😂😂 yes omg!!
I cannot believe Seth got to pitch "Cicada, Cicada!" to Nathan Lane on national television. This was the ultimate gift to Corrections fans.
Cicada-Cicada, the whole town is a buzz. Perfect poster
This needs to happen!
_abuzz*_
Cicadas don’t buzz, they chirp.
@@crocswsocks Oh, really?
ruclips.net/video/B-SCRvAInFo/видео.html
@@crocswsocks they sound pretty buzzy as a chorus as far as I'm concerned.
Nathan Lane would make the perfect dinner guest.
If I ever get that "if you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead..." question, he will be my answer! Haha
@@heartyunho0716 Seriously. I would take him over, like, Jesus.
@@Raulbikcube but jesus would probably throw one hell of a party as long as you have a working sink
I’ve heard he tends to overstay his welcome 😏
@@Raulbikcube but then who’d bring the wine?
So glad this maintained the delightful chaotic energy of Corrections
Nathan Lane is just like that lol

Put this in for “Corrections”
Waiting for Corrections & see how Seth trys to spin this one. 😊 Also, glad to read Seth is on it & has hired you , a jackal, to write for the Team! v
They live for two weeks, but this one just held on for the extra 3 days to see the show 😂
Dramatic license.
and continued typing when he said cockroach lives forever, previously discussed a lifespan of 1year
All I want for my mid-December birthday and Christmas is a 17 minute version of "Cicada Cicada"
“Who you talkin’ to - Kristin Chenoweth?!”
“Can you run around the room and make it sounds like a group?” 😂😂😂
That was hilarious!
@@LeeStJohn-ym4df But he didn't say make it "sounds"
@@jamesmcinnis208 But I still think it was funny 😄
NL: “Oh, Jesus…..him…..” at the mention of Harvey Feinstein’s name….❤️❤️
“What’s his lifespan?” omg xD
Weinstein, not Feinstein
@@Blonde111 it's Harvey Fierstein. Different guy.
Seth, you have to bring Nathan on more often. You two just have a delightful chaotic energy together and we need to see more
Seth's excitement when Nathan Lane already knew his made up musical was so pure
all musicals are made up
Nathan is such as solid delight! And I love how he makes Seth giggle nonstop. Imagine being seated next him at a dinner party or wedding or reception. A true delight!
we've waited so long, make this musical happen
ruclips.net/video/PsvddZCcs2c/видео.html
So happy to see Nathan Lane on television again! He's one of my favourite actors.
Me too ^^
This is how I always imagined Broadway worked. Thanks.
Very magic night Seth!

That actually sounds like the best idea for a play I’ve ever heard. I would love to see it. What a cast! 👏👏👏
They MUST have Kristin Chenoweth float through dressed as a butterfly and sing one song. I insist!
@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 Agree!
Please make Cicada, Cicada happen. It’s the most New York thing I’ve ever heard.
Love him so much❤️❤️.

8min22....🤣😆🙏♥️
I've been waiting for this part of the Cicada, Cicada plot line!
I didn’t know I needed to hear Nathan Lane say Lizzo sarcastically so many times.
My life is complete!
This is one of the best segments I've ever seen on a talk show - very possibly *the* best. It was like watching a real pitch between theater people. It was beyond merely being funny; it was a privilege to watch.
Cicada, Cicada ACTUALLY sounds like a pretty damn good plot surprisingly. LOL
"Can you run around the room and make it sound like a GROUP?!" 🤣
"Its not as exciting as you think..." Nathan Lane made my day! His face said it ALL. Love him.
One of the best 'interview guests' ever, almost regardless of interviewer.
This musical has to have a song called "You say cicada I say cicada."
Yes, I kept hearing this playing over in my head as they talked about it last night. "Cicada/Cicada" reminds me of the musical version of Kafka's Metamorphosis that "The Producers" rejected as being "too good."
Yes!! Sung by John Secada, of course!
@@anastasiabeaverhausen8220 If they don't put it in let's call the whole thing off.
😂😂😂😂
@@trishhunt4085 and scored by Neil Sedaka
This interview brought me so much joy.
And I'm delighted that "Cicada, Cicada" is coming together!
IS it, though?
Cicada, Cicada!!! It lives!!!! Wasn't Jason Sudeikis supposed to be in it too though? Oh! He could be the coach for the Mets!
I think he was the original cicada, but then Christine Baranski expressed interest. He can be the guy that sells the cockroach his cigarettes. Or maybe he can play Pizza Rat.
nah he can't be the coach, that would be type-casting!
And singer John Secada is also supposed to be involved! The star power in this show is unbelievable!!
@@TheGAMESHARQ or their overly optimistic coach!
Cicada, cicada! Cicada, cicada! Cicada, cicada!!!!!!! “The whole town’s abuzz.” Yes - please - for the love of G_d. And Nathan Lane EVERY NIGHT.
"And it'll run for SEVENTEEN YEARS!"
Easily the funniest late-night tv segment of the year! Had to rewind a few times because I was laughing so hard.
Fun Fact: In all 50 states it’s illegal to not like Nathan Lane.
Don't forget DC, Puerto Rico, Samoa and Guam.
it's also an international crime
@@riparianlife97701 That's fake news.

A Cricket in Times Square was written by George Selden, not Roald Dahl. Love that book so much, I read it a dozen times at least as a kid.

The JACKALS are coming! v
I love Nathan Lane in every talk show. Such a good guest.
Please just have Nathan Lane in the show every week!! Just a minute segment would be fine, it’s always great seeing him riff
I would be pleasantly surprised if Cicada Cicada becomes a real Broadway play. I can imagine Seth sending all the proceeds to a charity.
Oh yes please!!
Cicada Cicada, I'm waiting for the movie... Hilarious interview. Thanks. Also, the JACKALS, are many on this thread. v

Love love love Nathan Lane. Also, getting really into the whole idea of 'Cikada Cikada' coming to fruition!
Nathan Lane is absolutely phenomenal in Only Murders In the Building.
"Does he know the words to Truth Hurts?" 😂😂
I will always remember him from Mouse Hunt ,best moviw
OMG!! YES!!! One of my favs of all times!!!Mouse Hunt!!!LMAO!!!Hysterical!!!🐭❣️
When did The Mets get added to "Cicada Cicada"?? I wish Seth had showed Nathan how the cockroach smokes. lol Laughed so loud when Nathan Lane said that about keeping a clean apartment!
This is truly delightful.

OMG, I've been waiting for this moment for months!! Clicking "play" and savoring every minute...
Nathan Lane needs to be brought on more often. This was stupendous. Now, give me this Tony Award winning ensemble show!
I literally snort-laughed watching this. So good
Nathan is so sweet. And funny. Love him.
I am willing to give up one week of corrections to see this play come to life….
Can't we give something else up, though?
Broadway legend. Also funny at the same time. Only Murders is a good show. Need to watch it. Glad it got renewed.
I absolutely cannot wait for The Gilded Age. The cast is AMAZING. And, more appearances on Late Night by Nathan Lane. Then, Cicada-Cicada in summer stock.

This interview was hysterical
I laughed from beginning to end... Nathan Lane is a great guest and I love Seth's giggle!
Fantastically hilarious!
I love when people come to the show and make Seth giggle uncontrollably!
The energy between Seth and Nathan Lane is terrific!
I'm SO into Cicada, Cicada, I wish it was a real thing! 😄
I haven't seen Seth laugh like this in a while
I only have the ability to love Nathan Lane more every time I see him. There's no going back.
Proof(-ish): I left this comment while the video was going, thought I missed a joke, and rewound the whole thing. Best decision I've made all day.
I love Nathan Lane
I've searched high and low, for friends like these two...
"Cicada, Cicada: the whole town is abuzz" is a brilliant pun.
Oh I LOVE Nathan Lane❤❤❤
I very much want to see this musical now. They made cats, so honestly this isn't that much of a reach. Plus, the star power. Unbeatable.
"Who do you think I am, Kristin Chenoweth?" LOL!
Oh, please, please, please... Let's get a Lizzo/Nathan Lane twitter feud going!
ruclips.net/video/PsvddZCcs2c/видео.html
Lizzo in a Cicada, Cicada! feud would be genius!
“Can you run around the room and make it sound like a group!” 💀💀
Nathan Lane is so god damn funny. I love, love, love him.
I ADORE Nathan Lane. Unbelievably talented and funny
BRILLIANT interview. It was like watching atenniy match on double speed.
What a joy and a delight of an interview.
I hope Nathan Lane knows how beloved he is. A treasure
A meeting of two very sharp minds. This was one of the funniest conversations I've seen on the show.
i love him he's a ball of energy
this is so intimate and real i feel like I'm there with them??? honestly love this vibe
I was unsure about the play but with Nathan on board, I am ready! Let’s do it baby!!
Nathan Lane is a national treasure.
This is the BEST!
Nathan Lane is just the best talkshow guest, period! and i like plot, i think you guys are on to something good!
I have been dying for a Cicada Cicada super cut but this was so much more than I could ask for 🤣🤣
Nathan Lane is the perfect guest! 🌸 I'd love to see him back on.
nathan lane is so bad ass i love him. still roaring funny. great segment.
