Detective Extraordinaire Jenna Ortega Won Late Night This Week

As a connoisseur of late-night television, I can confidently say that this week’s farewell to Seth Meyers’ live studio band is as heartbreaking as finding out that your favorite ice cream flavor has been discontinued. The grandeur, the spectacle, the entertainment-insider credibility – it’s all vanishing like a cheesy late-night skit in the wind.

Farewell to the Late Night band, they’ve played their final tune. This week signified the end of Seth Meyers’ live studio band, and it’s truly unfortunate since grandeur seems to have taken a back seat. One of the few perks traditional late-night television has over typical YouTubers is the element of grandiosity.

In another realm, each position on this week’s top five features a clip from “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” many of which star Fred Armisen as the 8G drummer. However, it would be unfair to highlight these alone, given the exceptional work other shows did during the Democratic National Convention.

5. Jason Schwartzman Gets His Ear Pierced Again

I’d like to share an interesting occurrence: It’s not the first instance where someone has had their ear pierced during late-night hours, but this particular occasion took place on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. However, what makes this special is that Jason Schwartzman, a gracious guest, not only spoke highly of Wes Anderson but also got his ear pierced for the second time in New York City. So, here’s to celebrating such unique moments!

4. The Daily Show Comes Hard for Hillary

This clip has made it on the top five on the merit of a single joke, but that joke is that good. Desi Lydic says Hillary Clinton killed her speech at the DNC, but it’ll be ruled a suicide. Shout-out to making an Epstein joke during such a chill moment for the Democratic Party. Shouter-out to linking Epstein to Hillary, and shoutest-out to girlboss Lydic for being the one to do it. Girlies calling out girlbosses for alleged girlcrime, hell yeah!

3. Prodigal Son Conner O’Malley

Among the many impressive things Seth Meyers has achieved with late-night television (notably his own humor and skillful interview techniques), one of the most notable is giving his team members a chance to shine. This includes former writer Conner O’Malley, who showcases an unusual and hilarious side on Late Night. The audience may not be fully prepared for Seth’s unconventional antics, but he’s always up for a good laugh, and Conner never fails to provide the props (in this case, condoms) for their shenanigans. These two men fearlessly dive headfirst off the cliff of likeability, and for that, they deserve our admiration.

2. See How I Rank on Late Night? Very Cutesy, Very Demure

A number of you might think you deserve a higher position, but it’s important to remember that! However, let me ask you this: Why was Jools Lebron, a well-respected thought leader and server of cocktails, moved to the side during Jimmy Kimmel Live! instead of being directly across from RuPaul? She was positioned next to Guillermo when it seemed more appropriate for her to be seated opposite him.

1. Jenna Ortega Steals the Show

In this round of “True Confessions”, Jenna Ortega outsmarted Jimmy Fallon so effectively that for a brief instant, it seemed they should halt the game entirely. However, I recalled, No, this is still an entertaining segment. Yet, Ortega sliced through Fallon as if she was a highly skilled lumberjack from Monty Python. He’s clearly frustrated because she didn’t fall for his clever tale. Each word was sharp as a knife, and every knife was as powerful as a chainsaw. Moreover, the chemistry between her and Catherine O’Hara was impressive. To sum up, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be released on September 6.
