Seth Meyers

MSNBC All In host Chris Hayes traveled over to NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday to discuss the state of the political world including the situation surrounding House Republicans, Kevin McCarthy, and Matt Gaetz. For Hayes, one of the big takeaways was that the whole episode shows just how awesome former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was.

The men of late night returned from the writers’ strike on Monday and other than CBS’s Stephen Colbert no longer censoring Donald Trump’s name, not much changed as the hosts were eager to get back to their Trump jokes.

Bill Maher has been a late-night TV staple for years, but he doesn’t consider his HBO show a typical “late night” destination.

The late night comedy shows may be on strike which means they’ve had to go four months without offering up their hot takes on the news which they sought the remedy on the Thursday’s edition of their Strike Force Five podcast. When asked which news story he regrets not being able to cover, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel naturally chose Donald Trump.

With the Writers Guild of America going on strike, it is likely that America has seen the last of the first half of 2023’s late night comedy shows. Whether America wants them to return is another question as 95 percent of their guests were liberal, a NewsBusters study has documented.

As a result of taking two weeks off in the middle of the month, NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers missed Rep. Katie Porter’s initial book tour/Senate campaign announcement. To remedy this, Porter stopped by for Tuesday’s show where the duo piled on Tucker Carlson, hyped Biden 2024, and lamented that the Senate’s “arcane” rules are making life difficult for Democrats.

The Monday news media news surrounding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon provided the late night comedy shows a golden opportunity to show they aren’t just liberal partisans. However, they would fail this test as individual jokes about Carlson outnumbered jokes about Lemon 32-to-2 with five additional jokes about both men.

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers teamed up with show writer Jeff Wright on Wednesday for a painfully unfunny bit where they declared that GOP criticism of George Soros and his funding of progressive causes is “racist” and “anti-Semitic.”

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to his Tuesday show where they teamed up to lament the GOP’s stance on everything from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to guns to wokeness to Hunter Biden to Tucker Carlson, and even the Forest Service.

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers and Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Kal Penn used their Wednesday shows to condemn what they say is the GOP’s obsession with wokeness. For Meyers, the whole thing is frustrating because of the “incredibly stupid” word games, while Penn thinks wokeness is simply about empathy.

Over the weekend, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a speech decrying the “woke mind virus,” but according to NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers’s Monday “Closer Look,” it is people like DeSantis who have a mind virus, because all they care about is “a collection of petty grievances” while he wants to teach accurate history and “provide gender-affirming care to children.”

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers all spent part of their Tuesday shows falsely claiming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis seeks to ban the teaching of history in the state as they reacted to different parts of the DeSantis-driven news cycle.

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers has a theory on Wednesday as to why the train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, derailed: Donald Trump. This theory was basically a retelling of the talking points being spouted off by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

NBC Late Night was not happy with Republicans on Thursday for holding hearings into Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, claiming “no one actually gives a [bleep]” and trying to pretend that Republicans are greatly upset Twitter took down tweets containing nude photographs of Hunter Biden.
