    It's the same old generic left wing jokes that have been told for years now. Not funny, not interesting, I actually don't understand how these guys have jobs.

    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.

    Sorry Seth but when you come on and start your jokes about Trump you just are not funny anymore. I really get tired of hearing the same thing every night. You make me want to change channels (which I do) just so I don't have to listen to it anymore. Enough is enough. Find something else to make fun of.

    I did like the show but now I hate it. Is he trying to make a living off Trump? It did not used to be a show about politics? It is now. I would rather watch a real political show.

    Seth, your line is getting worn thin. Your career as a political commentator is not taking off. I have no particular interest in politics but your nightly political rants are not what I'm looking for in a light weight late nite talk show.

It's not that I agree or disagree with your long winded and predictable nightly opening tirade, it's just that I don't think that many people care to get a political science lecture from a second tier comedian/talk show host.

    I wish you would go back to your pseudo intellectual jokes and semi pleasant if somewhat stiff interviews. Pompous loudmouth doesn't suit you.    … Expand

    You can tell Seth is a decent guy and trying his best, but the writers on the show just isn't good enough. Segments are lame, interviews are bland, and the jokes are taken from the prehistoric era.

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

    He's so bad he's now resorting to endless political hate jokes against the republicans, and Trump. It just doesn't cease. He probably thinks this is the only possible way that is left to ingratiate himself with the DEMs. Does he not see how desperate & foolish this makes him look. PLUS, doesn't he realize this spurs on Trump supporters (and others)? As Mr.Brain used to say IDIOT!

    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.

    Tried to give SM a chance. So not funny. His pregnant pauses, to literally wait for the audience to applaud, are way too long and forced. Redundant, simplistic humor. No clever wit. However, Seth is super-helpful with my insomnia...puts me to sleep instantly.

I just don't understand how someone like Seth got this job - you would think the network would have tried harder - I mean, do we really have such a lack of talent in this industry? I can't really believe that. I think they were realizing it was time he left SNL and he needed a job. His career did not take off as other SNL cast members have and it's because he really should just be a writer behind the scenes. He has a youthful face so I think that's why he was able to get the job. But let's face it, he's just not cut out for this line of work. Sorry, Seth.

    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.
