Exactly! Big Bird is a Muppet but he's not part of The Muppet roster like Kermit, Gonzo etc. (Despite being at Kermit and Ms. Piggy's wedding in The Muppets Take Manhattan).
I read an article on a website a couple of days ago, where at the bottom, in the note at the end, the author (a comedian) referred to "the jackals in the comments." I was so tempted to comment that you can't just generalize jackals like that. The comments on that site rarely reach the rarified heights of actual jackaldom.
Man, "see me next week" is such a cute subtle, yet pointed reminder of what brings us all together: making Seth jump through hoops lmao. I love it so much. These segments are dynamite
I mean davud attenborough did narrate a series sbout dinosaurs aswell And a lovely story- a few years ago I went to 'an audience with david attenborough' in australia and the audience were able to put in questions. My friends question was picked and he was asked 'if you could be in jurassic park what would you want to see first'. And he said the first thing would be to go see my brother Richard. This was after Richard had passed away. Just a lovely lovely wonderful man
He says that at the end of the full show (the "Stay safe etc. thing.) I've never watched A Closer Look online, is it added for that version? For the record, I watch it as it airs, and he usually throws to commercials right after, so I could see him recording that for the online version easily enough.
@@oddsnends3446 yup it's added at the end for closer looks on youtube. It used to be freshly recorded after (or more likely before lol) every show because the outfit matched that days show ☺️
@ Thanks, I didn’t get it further than “She was glad”. But now I would rather say it is meant as “She was glad HE ate her.” Makes more sense for how the set up is written and it sounds closer to how you would say “gladiator”. 😉
I legit LOL'd. I went to school a little ways from Boston and people were so bummed when the necco factory was closed and they stopped making them for that stretch! They are pretty unappealing though.
This is the best segment to ever come from this show. I also notice it's the most consistently well performing. Always getting around half a million views each. I like how it sorta forces the more pedantic jackals to watch more of the show to feed their never-ending hunger.
last week's actually hasn't performed as well as previous ones - 366k and I'm wondering if it's the absence of knitwear in the thumbnail. I am extremely curious about the channel's engagement numbers tho, I suspect comment metrics skyrocketed and far surpass those of the other late night shows
Big Bird is indeed a muppet, as are all the other Henson creations. I could maybe see someone trying to make a case for Big Bird being A muppet but not one of THE Muppets, referring to a particular set of muppets who have regularly appeared in things like "The Muppet Show" and the various movies (the Muppet Extended Universe, if you will). One could reasonably argue, for instance, that Yoda is A muppet but not one of THE muppets. But for that argument to apply to Big Bird, Sesame Street would have to not be part of the Muppet EU and I think it clearly is because of how much time Kermit spends there. ....I've officially thought too much about this.
Correction: In the 1618 Defenestration, two imperial regents AND THEIR SECRETARY were thrown out the window. (3 people, not two as you shared. You forgot the secretary!) They did survive the 70 foot fall, though I am unaware of any evidence that they fell in a moat (as claimed here). At the time, Catholics claimed they were saved and caught by angels. Protestants said they survived because they landed in a dung heap. Bonus Fun Facts: It is worth noting that people in Prague REALLY like throwing government officials out the window. The 1618 Defenestration of Prague was actually the third defenestration of Prague (or second, depending on how you count "significant" defenestrations; there have been other lesser defenestrations in Prague). The First Defenestration of Prague (1419) was part of the start of the Hussite Wars. While the 1483 Defenestration actually helped usher in a period of peace (excepting the seven people who died from being defenestrated). Also defenestrate is one of my favorite verbs of all time. Shame on all of you for hating on the word.
Literally the way I learned the word "defenestration" was in history class, using this very example of a famous defenestration. Don't remember much else though.
The best thing about the Second Defenestration of Prague is that it's called the *Second* Defenestration of Prague. Like they apparently made somewhat of a habit of throwing people out of windows when they wanted to make a point.
it certainly was a pretty sure way of getting your point across, considering what a moat in those days consisted of. It was basically an open cess pit. At its heart is was a civil/religious insurrection, and the people defenestrated were senior Catholic officials sent by the Habsburgs, who objected to a Protestant church being built. So I think we can be sure it was going to get a pretty robust response when these senior Catholics returned to Vienna, with all their finery covered in crap,
@@kevinpitt2203 that's probably why I always heard that story as them landing in a pile of manure. I've also heard that the Protestants believed that them landing in feces was God siding with them and the Catholics believed that God was on their side because They cushioned their fall and saved their life.

The big issue with the Notre Dame advert was not that it still showed the spire, but that the Catholic Church doesn't actually own it and hasn't done since 1789, so the Church couldn't auction it off to raise money...
Indeed, it is owned by the French state. As a rule of thumb, churches and cathedrals built before 1905 belong to the French state, whereas those built later generally belong to the local diocese.
"Boys don't cry" has just made this the best CORRECTIONS(Seth's Version) yet!!!! The fact that Andy sang THAT Cure song instead of something everyone knows, just made me love you both more.
Yeah, i think he knows he just destroyed several thousand of cumulative hours by telling them this. He is playing with their strings as some weird puppetmaster.
Since retiring several years ago and then being in quarantine for a while (which I guess can affect one's memory) I struggle knowing what day of the week it is. The struggle is real, folks! Thanks to Seth for Friday CORRECTIONS so at least one day a week I am aware of the day. I notice Seth is making fewer Jackal-worthy mistakes and worried CORRECTIONS would suffer for lack of content. Nope. These keep getting better and better. And, we're even learning history.
Agree... how is this so solid. its almost got a podcast feel but with a loose structure to it. I'm really hype about this, and there's opportunity to fact check if needed but also clown on the responses to his segments. This slaps
Hate to correct a fellow jackal, but I think the feel-good chemical you would be experiencing are endorphins, which come from laughter, and not serotonin which tends to come from sunshine and walks outside.
Correction: Though the word “homeopathy” is commonly thought to be synonymous with “alternative medicine,” it refers to a very specific practice of ingesting diluted substances (in the form of pills or liquid solutions). Andy’s singing was therefore not a homeopathic cure. I would also argue that there is far more evidence supporting Samberg therapy than homeopathy.
@@thezpn is actually even more correct because Andy has never directly seen The Cure. He learned how to do his Robert Smith impression while in a class of 10,000 that was taught by someone who took an almost identical course, thus getting a proper 10x homeopathic dilution.
@@Scud422 You put too much faith in Homeopathy. Diluting an experience with other experiences makes sense. Homeopathy doesn't allow for that. The active ingredient has to be diluted in water or alcohol, not in something context appropriate.
4:00 you 'apologized on behalf of getting that wrong' - so "Getting That Wrong" is a person? Wally's cousin maybe? You apologize FOR your error, you apologize ON BEHALF OF the person or persons you represent.
Woohoo! I made it onto Corrections!!!! I’m a jackal! Couldn’t be more excited! But I should point out that “defenestrate” is a glorious word! It’s the most random act to have a word specifically describe. If you can use it in your day to day life, you should get a slow clap followed by a standing ovation!
6:12 so with regard to the 30 Year War being started because two people were thrown out a castle window and didn't die. It's worth noting that historically wars have been started for completely insane reasons. In 1838 King Louis-Philippe of France initiated a several month naval blockade of some Mexican ports and captured a Mexican fortress because a French baker living just outside Mexico City wrote to him to say that some Mexican officers had looted his bakery. Literally some random guy wrote to the king of France to say he wanted 60,000 pesos in reparations for damage to a store worth less than 1,000 pesos, and King Louis-Philippe was like "let's get this patisserie some justice!" and started a brief war against Mexico. This was known as "the Pastry War", and it had to be ended with a full on peace treaty in which the Mexican government agreed to pay 600,000 pesos as damages to French citizens living in Mexico and make promises of future trade commitments. And when the Mexican government didn't follow through, France used that as the justification for invading and conquering Mexico twenty-ish years later. True story. Humans are ridiculous.
@@dr.OgataSerizawa It is sort of similar to how Hawaii became part of the US, in that a bunch of Euro-American business leaders staged their own coup and then asked the US to help out... and eventually the US decided to just take the whole place for themselves. ...except I don't think most French bakers are bold enough to actually do most of the couping themselves, and the US initially decided that the coup was illegal before deciding that actually they were okay with it.
There are so many of these that it's ridiculous, but the general trend is that the small incident that starts the war is just an excuse for much more mundane and dull reasons, usually that someone has a lot to gain from a war. Like the "War of Jenkin's Ear", where the British Empire and Spain supposedly fought over how some coast guards had cut Captain Jenkin's ear off while searching for contraband... eight years after the incident took place? Or maybe the British were just looking for any old reason and that old ear thing would have to do. And sometimes the story actually of something that happened during or after the war and gets wrongly attributed to be the inciting incident. Like with the "War of the Bucket" where one side took the bucket from the other's town well as a trophy after the war, but after a few retellings the entire conflict was about a dastardly and insulting bucket theft.
@@havcola6983 Yes, funnily enough there might historically have been a profit motive involved in initiating warfare, so convenient excuses are convenient. This is why it's important to keep people around who are prone to falling out of castles and into moats.
Whoa, this is all so fascinating - like I said at another comment here, one learns so much at these jackal conventions and I absolutely love Corrections for that. It's a rare side of the internet where people are still behind their computers but aren't being nasty just to hurt but are correcting as part of a fun routine with the host of a show.
If you only knew how much joy you give to the nerds out there like myself, you and your writers would walk a little taller and with a swagger. I love Corrections because it's supplementary and complementary to all your show's content. Your graphics department, your writers, Shoemaker, everybody has my mad respect.
Covid and the world news has made every week a very long week. Corrections revives and strengthens! Seth, the writers, and the crew are indeed “essential workers“ Blessings to you all!🌹🤗
I was one of the most vocal Jackals that Corrections shouldn’t have a live audience but in retrospect if I were in NYC and went to the show I’d be really upset that I couldn’t see Corrections. Perhaps I need correcting.
It's one of those things that needs to be enforced for the "Common Good". For any individual person, it would be fantastic to be able to see Corrections as part of the audience... but once there's a full audience at Corrections, it's worse for everyone.
@@Twinsfan1299 But just imagine him doing a 10 to 15 minutes Correction segment and NOBODY LAUGHING. Like, no one gets the jackal jokes, no one understands all the references. I'm sure it would be painful for Seth but I also suspect his reaction (and even just knowing there was a full audience sitting there stone silent) would be hilarious and fit the tone of this segment perfectly.
Aw, you ignored my correction that you CAN find a picture of Wolf Blitzer without a beard. Wolf himself posted it to his Twitter feed a while back. Now that you've missed correcting that, no one will ever know.
There's no way he didn't say the Anime = Cartoon thing on purpose to get jackals to scream at him telling him they're not. Big Bird is definitely a Muppet tho
ACL will forever be my favorite segment, plus it’s where the vast majority of corrections are located. I will say, though, that I liked ACL better without a studio audience. “Corrections” is a lot of fun, and if there’s another late night show that has its own mascot? Fandom? ( I don’t know the best word here), I don’t know of it.
the only show that I actively know the day of airing and go searching for when Friday comes. even including regular tv shows. Corrections is the only one I have on my calendar. The rest I just watch as I notice them. Thank you Seth and Late Night. It's a little spark of joy in my life.
My family and I went to Boston for a wedding years ago and saw the Necco company in our travels !! We went to see if they offered tours. They did not, but they did give us an awesome goodie bag !!
I also think it's funny that you censored yourself 😂😂😂😂 "I'm going to use a swear word to aggressively illustrate a strange point about iPads and my disdain for TV sets, but what if a child tries to read this obscure RUclips comment?!?! Better use an asterisk just to be safe."
Thank you for continuing to do Corrections, Seth. You are the keystone of hilarity, Corrections is the capstone, Wally is the wall, and the writers the moat.
Correction: "I apologized on behalf of getting that wrong." So, you didn't apologize on your behalf? You apologized on behalf of an action? Well, that action should be ashamed of itself, but what right do you have to speak for it?
I can sense your rabid and ravenous jackal mouth frothing ferociously and unrestrainedly. I’d say your work here is done. (until next week). Have a great weekend, Mythraen.
@@annestewart5741 Nonsense. Parents don't speak for their children. At least, not once they're mature... and I think the action is as old as it's going to get.
these seem to get more enjoyable every week - I particularly liked all of the nuances of 'the cure' to the cold - boyyyya don't crrrry (oh flashback to my boyfriend in the 1990s at uni, wantabe goth) - calling Samburg, that he GOT it, did it, was hung up on immediately - 😂perfection 👩🍳👌😘
Cue discussions of the platonic ideal of a muppet. I don't think Big Bird is a muppet, but I can't prove it. Can Seth prove he is? Otherwise, under jackals rules, this means a fight to the death, Seth.
Jim Henson called of his creations muppets, even those that were never featured on The Muppet Show. Additionally, Big Bird did appear in The Muppet Movie.
@@theskyismymuse Sweetums is a person in a costume and a Muppet. Plus, Kermit used to be on Sesame Street. They’re muppets. They’re made in the same workshop.
“Throw out the window” means “replace your old window”. I have a proposition for you: put a preposition in the frickin sentence. You throw stuff out of windows. I’ll probably be one of those things if I keep on like this.
Throwing out a window doesn't necesitate its replacement. Also, a window is a pane (or panes) plus a frame that is usually built into a wall or ceiling or door, so "throwing out the window" is something that almost no one has ever done. Of course, some windows are just holes. How would one "throw out" a hole?
Clare, this is a case of colloquial linguistic differences in dialect. There are many famous examples in English, but the most famous one would be just adjacent to your proposition to add a preposition. Dropped infinitives in the northeast, most popular in Pittsburghese. Sounds like you studied English in college, but never had the energy to take a single linguistics course. Oh well.
And they spelled Shoemaker correctly. I watch the show as it airs and I paid attention the last time they spelled it; they spelled it wrong. As for televised captions, I've joked to people before that the people that caption sometimes seem to be hearing impaired themselves. While their mistakes can be amusing, I feel for the people that rely on them.
I'll actually stand with Seth on this one. All Sesame Street characters are Muppets, but not all Muppets are Sesame Street characters.
Exactly! Big Bird is a Muppet but he's not part of The Muppet roster like Kermit, Gonzo etc.
(Despite being at Kermit and Ms. Piggy's wedding in The Muppets Take Manhattan).

@@AndiNewtonian Lies, Muppets aren't puppets they are fully alive.
Isn't Big Bird part of the Official Muppet exhibit at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta? Case closed bros.

The David Attenborough impersonation without a doubt in Seth's top 3 of all impersonations!
I believe that Seth went to "Impression Camp" not "Impersonation Camp"... Just saying...
I thought in trying to do the Attenborough brothers he did a really good impression of Michael Caine having a conversation with himself
*newts* 😏
The Attenborough bros impersonation was spot on Seth. 😉
He had the “oi’s” but lacked a crucial “innit”. Maybe next time.
Seth's impression of "The Attenborough Brothers" was directed by Guy Ritchie.

The big issue with the Notre Dame advert was not that it still showed the spire, but that the Catholic Church doesn't actually own it and hasn't done since 1789, so the Church couldn't auction it off to raise money...
You need to mark.it as Correction to teach Seth to very his church ownership right!
And also yes, I was thinking the same.
Expert jackaling!
Indeed, it is owned by the French state. As a rule of thumb, churches and cathedrals built before 1905 belong to the French state, whereas those built later generally belong to the local diocese.
@@remy4379 I hear the state want to auction it off anyway as the repair costs are spiraling out of control.
The gladiator joke made me scream lmaooo it’s so good 😂😂
"Boys don't cry" has just made this the best CORRECTIONS(Seth's Version) yet!!!!
The fact that Andy sang THAT Cure song instead of something everyone knows, just made me love you both more.
Also, the fact that he got it from "Hey, uh do Robert Smith".
@@TheBlarggle Watching his gears turn was incredible
My favorite song by Robert Smith & the Boys.
You just told your audience to “prove you wrong”… do you know what you have just unleashed? What have you done?!
Yeah, i think he knows he just destroyed several thousand of cumulative hours by telling them this. He is playing with their strings as some weird puppetmaster.
It's going to be pretty difficult to prove him wrong considering he's correct.
@@joog79 it's actually Muppet master!
@@RonnocFroop just proposed an incorrectable idea.
It's Jackal-bait. He knows what he's doing.
Since retiring several years ago and then being in quarantine for a while (which I guess can affect one's memory) I struggle knowing what day of the week it is. The struggle is real, folks!
Thanks to Seth for Friday CORRECTIONS so at least one day a week I am aware of the day.
I notice Seth is making fewer Jackal-worthy mistakes and worried CORRECTIONS would suffer for lack of content. Nope. These keep getting better and better. And, we're even learning history.
Boy this is gonna be a fun Corrections, if only he doesn’t bring up my one and only raw nerve: Defenestration.
this could be a norm macdonald joke
oh boi
@@haarrison Norm died and left each of us with exactly ONE "Norm Joke" to tell in our lives. This guy used his pretty well.
It is a pane...
(or do they open them first?)
to be so portally wounded
@@iandalziel7405 I feel like most people who *are* defenestrated have little say over whether the pane is opened first.
I find myself waiting for Friday morning so I can watch this. This is absolutely one of the better segments on RUclips.
Agree... how is this so solid. its almost got a podcast feel but with a loose structure to it. I'm really hype about this, and there's opportunity to fact check if needed but also clown on the responses to his segments. This slaps
Seth calling Andy each week for the corrections gives me so much serotonin!!
Hate to correct a fellow jackal, but I think the feel-good chemical you would be experiencing are endorphins, which come from laughter, and not serotonin which tends to come from sunshine and walks outside.
Correction: Though the word “homeopathy” is commonly thought to be synonymous with “alternative medicine,” it refers to a very specific practice of ingesting diluted substances (in the form of pills or liquid solutions).
Andy’s singing was therefore not a homeopathic cure. I would also argue that there is far more evidence supporting Samberg therapy than homeopathy.
Came here to say the same thing! Andy Samberg could arguably be a naturopathic cure for many diseases, but he is not a homeopathic one.
Counter-correction: Seth only took in an impression of The Cure, thereby limiting his exposure to the actual substance of The Cure.
@@thezpn is actually even more correct because Andy has never directly seen The Cure. He learned how to do his Robert Smith impression while in a class of 10,000 that was taught by someone who took an almost identical course, thus getting a proper 10x homeopathic dilution.
@@Scud422 You put too much faith in Homeopathy. Diluting an experience with other experiences makes sense. Homeopathy doesn't allow for that. The active ingredient has to be diluted in water or alcohol, not in something context appropriate.
I'm so glad someone else caught this, I was so confused why Andy's Cure wasn't being administered from a bottle of mostly water and alcohol.
Gladiator.
That alone was worth sticking it out to the end.
In f*cking deed, John. I 100% agree with that! And something tells me she was Gladiator……as I just turned 69 last month. And that’s a fact!
That's what she said
@@dr.OgataSerizawa That's my goal in life, to get to 69 years old. And then to make it to 2069.
That Ben-Hur punchline was amazing LOL
4:00 you 'apologized on behalf of getting that wrong' - so "Getting That Wrong" is a person? Wally's cousin maybe? You apologize FOR your error, you apologize ON BEHALF OF the person or persons you represent.
nice catch
Nice! You get jackal of the week award. 😂
Proper Jackaling.
@@TheBlarggle Thank you! I'm very proud of that one.
I need merch with Corrections Jackal on it. This segment makes me feel alive 😂
Woohoo! I made it onto Corrections!!!! I’m a jackal! Couldn’t be more excited!
But I should point out that “defenestrate” is a glorious word! It’s the most random act to have a word specifically describe. If you can use it in your day to day life, you should get a slow clap followed by a standing ovation!
'Tis an honor I deeply covet. Congrats!
Followed by an arrest, trial and jail sentence presumably!
@@zunaidparker I wonder if the Prague defenestrators got the arrest and trial or the standing ovation
This was TOP NOTCH! The Richard and David joke was amazing!
6:12 so with regard to the 30 Year War being started because two people were thrown out a castle window and didn't die. It's worth noting that historically wars have been started for completely insane reasons. In 1838 King Louis-Philippe of France initiated a several month naval blockade of some Mexican ports and captured a Mexican fortress because a French baker living just outside Mexico City wrote to him to say that some Mexican officers had looted his bakery.
Literally some random guy wrote to the king of France to say he wanted 60,000 pesos in reparations for damage to a store worth less than 1,000 pesos, and King Louis-Philippe was like "let's get this patisserie some justice!" and started a brief war against Mexico.
This was known as "the Pastry War", and it had to be ended with a full on peace treaty in which the Mexican government agreed to pay 600,000 pesos as damages to French citizens living in Mexico and make promises of future trade commitments. And when the Mexican government didn't follow through, France used that as the justification for invading and conquering Mexico twenty-ish years later.
True story. Humans are ridiculous.
Sounds like something the United States would pull on Ascension Island or maybe Vanuatu…..
@@dr.OgataSerizawa It is sort of similar to how Hawaii became part of the US, in that a bunch of Euro-American business leaders staged their own coup and then asked the US to help out... and eventually the US decided to just take the whole place for themselves.
...except I don't think most French bakers are bold enough to actually do most of the couping themselves, and the US initially decided that the coup was illegal before deciding that actually they were okay with it.
There are so many of these that it's ridiculous, but the general trend is that the small incident that starts the war is just an excuse for much more mundane and dull reasons, usually that someone has a lot to gain from a war. Like the "War of Jenkin's Ear", where the British Empire and Spain supposedly fought over how some coast guards had cut Captain Jenkin's ear off while searching for contraband... eight years after the incident took place? Or maybe the British were just looking for any old reason and that old ear thing would have to do.
And sometimes the story actually of something that happened during or after the war and gets wrongly attributed to be the inciting incident. Like with the "War of the Bucket" where one side took the bucket from the other's town well as a trophy after the war, but after a few retellings the entire conflict was about a dastardly and insulting bucket theft.
@@havcola6983 Yes, funnily enough there might historically have been a profit motive involved in initiating warfare, so convenient excuses are convenient.
This is why it's important to keep people around who are prone to falling out of castles and into moats.
Whoa, this is all so fascinating - like I said at another comment here, one learns so much at these jackal conventions and I absolutely love Corrections for that. It's a rare side of the internet where people are still behind their computers but aren't being nasty just to hurt but are correcting as part of a fun routine with the host of a show.
If you only knew how much joy you give to the nerds out there like myself, you and your writers would walk a little taller and with a swagger. I love Corrections because it's supplementary and complementary to all your show's content. Your graphics department, your writers, Shoemaker, everybody has my mad respect.
Covid and the world news has made every week a very long week. Corrections revives and strengthens! Seth, the writers, and the crew are indeed “essential workers“ Blessings to you all!🌹🤗
If only we had known about Samberg's Robert Smith Cure earlier we may have gotten out of this corona nightmare sooner.
Corrections is my favourite bit of the week!
I was one of the most vocal Jackals that Corrections shouldn’t have a live audience but in retrospect if I were in NYC and went to the show I’d be really upset that I couldn’t see Corrections. Perhaps I need correcting.
It's one of those things that needs to be enforced for the "Common Good". For any individual person, it would be fantastic to be able to see Corrections as part of the audience... but once there's a full audience at Corrections, it's worse for everyone.
@@Twinsfan1299 This is the correct take.
No, you were right. Let them see the show, if they must, and call it a day. They can watch Corrections on the way home.
You're gonna need to make a sweater or hat for him to wear to get into a live recording of "Corrections"!
@@Twinsfan1299 But just imagine him doing a 10 to 15 minutes Correction segment and NOBODY LAUGHING. Like, no one gets the jackal jokes, no one understands all the references.
I'm sure it would be painful for Seth but I also suspect his reaction (and even just knowing there was a full audience sitting there stone silent) would be hilarious and fit the tone of this segment perfectly.
Aw, you ignored my correction that you CAN find a picture of Wolf Blitzer without a beard. Wolf himself posted it to his Twitter feed a while back. Now that you've missed correcting that, no one will ever know.
did you post a link to the pic?
There's no way he didn't say the Anime = Cartoon thing on purpose to get jackals to scream at him telling him they're not. Big Bird is definitely a Muppet tho
I love the paranoid loops we're all getting into down here in the comments section
Seth unplugged always funnier than closer look. Just makes my Friday mornings. Oh yeah, the "bluer" the better. ❤️ Love ya Seth.
ACL will forever be my favorite segment, plus it’s where the vast majority of corrections are located. I will say, though, that I liked ACL better without a studio audience. “Corrections” is a lot of fun, and if there’s another late night show that has its own mascot? Fandom? ( I don’t know the best word here), I don’t know of it.
the only show that I actively know the day of airing and go searching for when Friday comes. even including regular tv shows. Corrections is the only one I have on my calendar. The rest I just watch as I notice them. Thank you Seth and Late Night. It's a little spark of joy in my life.
Thank you for being the best start of the weekend. Stay safe and I love you
I love the lines on the backs of the cards during these! 😄
Yes me too. I don't think we had one last week, unless I missed it.
Candy Christ died for our cavities. A little respect, 'kay?
My family and I went to Boston for a wedding years ago and saw the Necco company in our travels !! We went to see if they offered tours. They did not, but they did give us an awesome goodie bag !!

Love how Corrections reminds me of SNL in the 70’s. Thanks Seth, for the well paced fun for those of us who watch your show as if it were the 60’s…
This is part of my Friday morning routine now. I get out of bed early so I can watch on the TV!
Get an iPad. F*ck the t.v.
No need to be hostile. You're a doctor after all. Do you talk to your patients this way?
I also think it's funny that you censored yourself 😂😂😂😂 "I'm going to use a swear word to aggressively illustrate a strange point about iPads and my disdain for TV sets, but what if a child tries to read this obscure RUclips comment?!?! Better use an asterisk just to be safe."
Thank you for continuing to do Corrections, Seth. You are the keystone of hilarity, Corrections is the capstone, Wally is the wall, and the writers the moat.
Correction:
"I apologized on behalf of getting that wrong."
So, you didn't apologize on your behalf? You apologized on behalf of an action?
Well, that action should be ashamed of itself, but what right do you have to speak for it?
I can sense your rabid and ravenous jackal mouth frothing ferociously and unrestrainedly. I’d say your work here is done.
(until next week). Have a great weekend, Mythraen.
If it's his action, then he should be able to speak for it. 🤔🤷😁
@@annestewart5741 but don't actions speak louder than words?
@@annestewart5741 Nonsense.
Parents don't speak for their children.
At least, not once they're mature... and I think the action is as old as it's going to get.
@@Mythraen But don't people apologize for their actions?
This is by far and away the best segment to come out of late night television in the last decade. Really, really entertaining. Thanks Seth!
Happy Friday, Jackals!
Happy Friday !
For some reason I appreciate this more than the actual show, perhaps it's the admission and self deprecation or when he just throws it right back.
Gotta admit Necco's are like Candy Christ, we used them to practice for Communion when I was a kid.
I love your Attenborough’s sounding like the Beatles.
these seem to get more enjoyable every week - I particularly liked all of the nuances of 'the cure' to the cold - boyyyya don't crrrry (oh flashback to my boyfriend in the 1990s at uni, wantabe goth) - calling Samburg, that he GOT it, did it, was hung up on immediately - 😂perfection 👩🍳👌😘
Thank you for withholding the punchline to that raunchy joke Seth, you're a class act and I appreciate you.
You didn't see it on the back of the card?
Cue discussions of the platonic ideal of a muppet. I don't think Big Bird is a muppet, but I can't prove it. Can Seth prove he is? Otherwise, under jackals rules, this means a fight to the death, Seth.
Jim Henson called of his creations muppets, even those that were never featured on The Muppet Show. Additionally, Big Bird did appear in The Muppet Movie.
@@theskyismymuse Sweetums is a person in a costume and a Muppet. Plus, Kermit used to be on Sesame Street. They’re muppets. They’re made in the same workshop.
Jim Henson workshop creations are muppets. The cast of The Muppet Show are Muppets.
Thanks to all the writers and production crew of LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS... and thanks to Seth! ✍️

Seth used my gladiator joke. Even got its own punch card line. Well chuffed!
What was the rest of it? (Well done btw!)
Very cool. You're an offical JACKAL!!! v
I was going to go back to the previous comment sections to try to find who did the joke. Love our celebrity jackals! Patti Lyons and you!
@@sevensabrina Thanks. The punchline was on the card
@@virginiatyree6705 Thanks. And Lynn too. I'm well chuffed. Right enough, it was Seth's set up and delivery that made it work.
The crew laughter is *chef's kiss*
So many emotions raging about British Seth.
And still, I need him to come back
The Attenborough impressions were SPOT ON! Fantastic! 😂
“Throw out the window” means “replace your old window”.
I have a proposition for you: put a preposition in the frickin sentence.
You throw stuff out of windows. I’ll probably be one of those things if I keep on like this.
Throwing out a window doesn't necesitate its replacement. Also, a window is a pane (or panes) plus a frame that is usually built into a wall or ceiling or door, so "throwing out the window" is something that almost no one has ever done.
Of course, some windows are just holes. How would one "throw out" a hole?
@@AisuruMirai : Ringo did it in "Yellow Submarine".
Clare, your observation is loaded with the sort of pedantic linguistic precision that we Jackals pridefully insist upon!
Clare, this is a case of colloquial linguistic differences in dialect. There are many famous examples in English, but the most famous one would be just adjacent to your proposition to add a preposition. Dropped infinitives in the northeast, most popular in Pittsburghese.
Sounds like you studied English in college, but never had the energy to take a single linguistics course. Oh well.
I second the proposition of prepositions.
This is so funny! I literally laugh from start to finish and have a hard time keeping up. Thanks for the morning ab workout
For some reason, Seth's delivery of "Oh no, they didn't die." got me laughing way too hard.
Thanks for adding the Closed Captions today.
And they spelled Shoemaker correctly. I watch the show as it airs and I paid attention the last time they spelled it; they spelled it wrong.
As for televised captions, I've joked to people before that the people that caption sometimes seem to be hearing impaired themselves. While their mistakes can be amusing, I feel for the people that rely on them.
The highlight of my week!
The Attenborough accent sounds like Russell Brand
Yes! That was exactly what I thought. Or anyone from The only was is Essex, which I'm sure Seth has never seen. :-)
seth learning about the defenestrations of prague is the funniest thing to me
Seth’s delivery is always so on point - master of the pregnant pause.
absolutely, it is fantastic to watch it executed brilliantly!
I thinks that’s my favorite part of corrections, calling Andy 🤣😍 it’s hilarious
Correction:
Canadians don’t call them “donut holes”, we call them timbits :)
Seth, you and your writers are absolute kindhearted geniuses. I truly love you.
Calls up Andy Samberg “dance bi*ch!” . “Thanks” . * Hangs up* 😆
“dance bi*ch!” .* Hangs up* "Thanks”
Best chat show segment of any show in years, corrections is unequalled
Correction: David Attenborough is actually big into dinosaurs and has a number of dinosaur specials.
That See me next week phrase is just so perfect. Thank you all for making it possible.
You know pandemic life is hitting hard when you get excited that your correction made it onto the segment lmao
Glad I could be a part of the Necco wafer correction.
Love the give and take from Seth and us jackals 😂😂👍
I loudly shouted "NO WAY" when Seth revealed the candy company acronyms. Corrections is a goldmine.
i'm inclined to say "loudly shouted" is redundant, unless it was even louder than the average shout
4:00 you can’t apologize on behalf of getting something wrong because ‘getting something wrong’ isn’t an entity that can apologize on behalf of itself
30 year war - is that what we're going through trying to finally get rid of Thump?
This was my favorite Corrections yet. That 30 year war bit was priceless
David and Richard..so good set up, pay off, so good.
8:46 Got him! I'm the jackal who pointed out that he mixed up David Attenborough with Richard Attenborough last week. 😝
The New Jersey colonist impression sounded a LOT like Mikey the Shoe. I had no idea his ancestry went back that far.
