Seth Meyers

On Wednesday, the late night comedians received their government shutdown-related marching orders. To listen to them is no different than any generic Democratic member of Congress who portrays the shutdown as a showdown between Democrats, who want people to have healthcare, and Republicans, who do not.

Three of the four late night comedy shows used their Monday episodes to celebrate ABC and Disney folding to liberal demands to bring back Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday, although nobody seemed to want to discuss his actual comments about MAGA “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

CBS’s Stephen Colbert freaked out on Thursday’s edition of The Late Show at ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel and downplayed his comments that MAGA was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” but at least he played the clip. The same could not be said of Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and NBC’s…

With the exception of NBC’s The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, all of the late night comedy reacted to the assassination of Charlie Kirk on their Thursday program by hitting on all the proper points about political violence being unacceptable and un-American. Some even criticized some on the left for their reaction to it, but while some may sincerely believe that gun control is part…

NBC’s Seth Meyers’s Tuesday interview with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear could have been a case study in how the late night comedians conduct interviews with Democratic politicians. First, the Late Night host asked some softball questions about podcasting and Gen Z slang and then followed up with a strategy planning session to help Democrats win again.

NBC’s Seth Meyers appeared torn on Wednesday’s Late Night between trying to argue that conservative talking points about crime in big cities are false and that, actually, it is red states that have a crime problem. To justify such a conclusion, Meyers appeared totally unaware that you can have a blue city inside of a red state.

NBC’s Seth Meyers hyped on Monday’s Late Night some highly suspect fact-checking from CNN during President Trump’s press conference when he announced he is federalizing Washington, DC’s law enforcement because, for Meyers, the binary choice is between Trump and CNN’s “stat nerds.”

NBC’s Seth Meyers was in a good mood for a change during Wednesday’s Late Night. While Meyers accused Texas Republicans of trying “to rig the 2026 midterms” by redrawing the state’s congressional districts, he praised blue states for threatening to do the same, not realizing many are already more gerrymandered than Texas.

It has been a common retort among critics, especially in the aftermath of Stephen Colbert’s cancellation, that the late night comedy shows are just liberal group therapy sessions, but on Monday, NBC’s Seth Meyers decided to confirm these claims in an appearance on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast. According to Meyers, his goal for Late Night is to make a show that…

War is a nasty business, which is why it is advised that starting one with a country much stronger than you is a bad idea, but for Comedy’s Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, and NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers, outrage is better directed at the United States because we are supposedly complicit in Israeli war crimes.

CBS canceled Stephen Colbert’s late-night show. Democrat Minnesota Gov. and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, who recently appeared on the show, said: “Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He always told truth to power and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not less.” You might be forgiven for thinking Colbert’s job is to tell jokes. Some Democrats in full meltdown…

The men of late night reacted to the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with varying degrees of intelligence on their Monday shows. On the dumb end of the spectrum was fellow Paramount employee Jon Stewart, who reacted on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show by telling CBS to “go fuck” itself and dropping over 40 F-bombs.

For the men of the late night comedy talk shows, the first half of 2025 was an instance of history repeating itself. According to a NewsBusters study, 99 percent of their political guests were on the left, matching the result for the last six months of 2024.

NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff may call himself a reporter, but he is indistinguishable from an activist. Soboroff’s most recent activism occurred on Thursday’s edition of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he lamented, “Mass deportation is family separation by another name,” and omitted the fact that a recently detained man, who was pepper sprayed by federal agents, threatened them…
