Season 1 Review: Meyers seems capable of creating chemistry and having quality chats with anyone, from riding the wild waves of Kanye West to spinning a funny anecdote with pal Brad Paisley about accidentally stealing a Porsche. A talk-show host good at talking? Fancy that. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Fred Armisen is a surprising choice as bandleader, but he brings unequaled improv chops to the table, and his little banter with Seth every night has already proven one of the more reliably funny bits. Integrating him as much as possible is certainly a smart idea. Meyers, like Fallon, is also a more-than-capable interviewer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Meyers's first monologue was all down-the-middle one-liners, delivered in the exact "Weekend Update" cadence.... Meyers settled in more once he sat down at his desk. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Meyers is likable and pleasant, and the first show probably isn't a good indication of what his Late Night will eventually be like. In the early going, though, there isn't much fresh happening there. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Virtually nothing about this latest Late Night exhibited a whiff of freshness or originality.... On the plus side, Meyers came across as relaxed and loose, riffing on his show’s micro-budget and acknowledging the jokes that fell flat. The writing, however, simply wasn’t that strong.

I like Seth. He was funny on SNL. I tend to agree with his views, so this critique is not political. It's purely about comedy.

Looking back on past "Late Night" hosts David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Fallon, their shows all had a lot more energy. I feel like Seth is just doingI like Seth. He was funny on SNL. I tend to agree with his views, so this critique is not political. It's purely about comedy.

Looking back on past "Late Night" hosts David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Fallon, their shows all had a lot more energy. I feel like Seth is just doing "Weekend Update" with a few interviews. He does his monologue behind his desk, and then he stays there for "A Closer Look." Look at what James Corden is doing in the timeslot...so much more energy and fun! Corden still does some great political humor, but it's not the whole show. Dave and Conan in particular were great innovators, and Jimmy did a few innovative things. But I don't see Seth doing anything that I would call cutting-edge. That's the spirit of "Late Night," to experiment with edgy comedy. Letterman covered himself in Alka-Seltzer tablets and was immersed in a tank of water. Conan performed elaborate, weird in-studio sketches with actors and costumes as well as plenty of remote segments. Jimmy Fallon played all kinds of games on-air with guests, created Brian Williams raps from news clips, and recreated music videos with Paul Rudd.

I hope Seth can turn it around, but he needs to be more adventurous. It has been seven years. How much longer will it take?… Expand

I turned on Seth Meyers this evening to get a bit of Intel on pop-culture and listen to him ranting for eight straight minutes about Trump and Fox News and a number of more conservative members of the media. He was spewing hateful comments and completely in balance views. Move on already,I turned on Seth Meyers this evening to get a bit of Intel on pop-culture and listen to him ranting for eight straight minutes about Trump and Fox News and a number of more conservative members of the media. He was spewing hateful comments and completely in balance views. Move on already, And stop being such an incredible hypocrite. People like you that spread negative one-sided views and hatred publicly And there are so many better things to be talking about should be ashamed.… Expand

He wants to come off as witty and clever so badly, but fails miserably. By far the worst late night host in the history of late night television. The only use for this show I can see is it’ll put you to sleep on a sleepless night

I am so sick of this **** Lol. if You’re reading this you already know what I’m getting at. It’s too exhausting to even get a start at... but i will say it’s humorous in 2019 to watch Trump’s America get a start with these media fueled comedians digging themselves down into a grave.
