    It's time this show got a reevaluation - in the past few months, Meyers has started to find his tone with biting political commentary, excellent rapport with his interviewees (and increased branching out from his comedy friends), and willingness to present absurd humor, like the Blacklist parody.

I enjoy how he doesn't rely too heavily on star power and instead offers a lot of insight into the team behind his show, from the writers to his family. It's a bit less flashy, but also more intimate and genuine than other similar programs.

    I look forward to watching more of Meyers as we head into election season.    … Expand

    If you only watched the first week, try again, as the show has gotten much better. I like his banter from his life, the bit with the bandleader Fred, and he is a great interviewer. The bits are getting better too, love Fake or Florida.

    The reviews for this show are only for the first episode, where sadly the show wasn't that good. But as the show progressed it started getting better and better like many other talk shows did (Fallon, Kimmel, Conan, and even Carson). So if you only caught the first episode, try to watch more recent ones because it gets better.

    Seth Meyers is sympathetic and was the best Weekend Update Anchor ever on SNL. I think this Show is simple but very smooth, don´t got all the fake **** as some other Late Nights

    Love Late Night with Seth Meyers. I think he is WAY better than Fallon. Fallon is so full on himself especially after the SNL 40th anniversary. Seth Meyers clearly loves what he does and is humble. I really enjoy his show.

    First off, I LOVE SETH MEYERS!!! The only problem that I have with the show is that it is a bit cliquish the way that so many SNL stars frequent the visitor spots; sometimes I think that I am watching SNL and have to check the channel listing. Just kidding, I would like to see Seth put anyone on the show but his 'friends', which are clearly his super close bossom 'buddies', so it looksFirst off, I LOVE SETH MEYERS!!!

Just kidding, I would like to see Seth put anyone on the show but his 'friends', which are clearly his super close bossom 'buddies', so it looks kind bad for him and as a member of the audience it is like he is saying to us - "I know that you aren't really paying attention and so I can bring the same people on over and over out of some misplaced loyalty because I cannot make new friends outside of SNL", "I am insecure and afraid to actually cut ties with, or break away from SNL and embrace my new opportunities, so please don't notice that this is getting VERY tired already", or he is saying "I am not capable of doing a show that is not SNL, with all of the old SNL characters coming through on a continual weekly/daily basis because we are all in a massive SNL cult together and I will get killed if I don't do it!". Essentially, if I wanted to see, or 'hear about' Kristen Wig, Jason S., and all of the other SNL people every week I would just watch SNL reruns! Please Seth, I am begging you - spread your wings before I quit watching all together as I did not marry your friends - I married you!… Expand

    I love love love Late Night With Seth Meyers! The show started out a little slow but over the last few years it has really gotten good. I could listen to Seth critic politics all night.

    As always, you can't judge a late-night host by a first show. But Meyers' debut indicates that his blend of intelligence and goofy humor will be a welcome addition to the crowded late-night neighborhood.

    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.

    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.
