Seth Meyers Repaying His Debts Won Late Night This Week

by

During certain weeks when everything seems grim, people continue their routine of asking “How are you?” as a casual greeting, but the only response that feels appropriate is “Not great,” which often marks the end of the conversation. This week, talk shows resembled that vibe. The city of Los Angeles remains in flames, and late-night show After Midnight still carries an air of gloom. Jimmy Kimmel Live! has transformed its usual concert space into a donation center, which is a less entertaining use but a commendable action given the circumstances. A shout-out to Kimmel for managing to maintain a humorous tone while addressing the grim reality beyond the studio. Snoop Dogg provided a soothing presence on Monday’s show, and Bill Burr debunked some conspiracy theories on Tuesday. Here’s hoping that next week won’t require the same balance between humor and acknowledging the hardships.

Some Poetry on The Late Show

Kwame Alexander appeared on “The Late Show” and recited the poem “Still Life With Apron,” originally penned by his former mentor Nikki Giovanni. The tale he shared about their mentorship was an engaging story suitable for a talk show. Moreover, he had the opportunity to uphold her legacy by reading a rather passionate poem on CBS. It’s refreshing to see such contrasting tones – heartwarming and humorous – on late-night television. Kudos to Stephen Colbert for providing room for these diverse expressions.

Nicole Byer’s Second Chance

Nicole Byer’s emergency evacuation kit lacked undergarments, yet included a photo of herself that she found adorable – quite the character! Catching up with Jimmy Kimmel, Byer discussed the wildfires and her unique friendship with her neighbor’s car rather than the neighbor. (Her account makes it almost comprehensible.) Additionally, Byer was given another opportunity to answer the question that led to her elimination from the celebrity edition of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’, but someone in the audience beat her to it. Perhaps the third time will be the charm?

“Robbie, That’s a Window”

In this episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Julia Stiles discovers who Robbie Williams is, and it’s fascinating to witness this transformation unfold. From initially thinking he was just a fellow passenger on her ship, she soon realizes that he’s had quite an extraordinary life. Williams shares an intriguing tale about tripping on mushrooms at Bono’s house – a story that didn’t make it into his autobiography “Better Man.” It’s just one of the many unusual things he’s experienced, and you should definitely check out the “monkey movie” he’s in.

Using his journalism skills effectively, Roy Wood Jr. accompanied firefighters in Compton before appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! . He captured footage of himself riding in a fire engine, extinguishing a dumpster blaze, and having an unforgettable experience. I also picked up some interesting knowledge during this time. It turns out that due to the focus on the Palisades and Eaton fires, firehouses that are far from these wildfires have expanded coverage areas. As a result, all firehouses are under pressure at the moment. However, they’re allowing comedians to slide down the pole, which is a nice touch.

There’s nothing quite like the bond between host and guest becoming friendship material, giving us a sneak peek into their real-life moments. It seems that during an outing at All In, Seth Meyers was asked for a photo while in the midst of purchasing a drink. This led to him forgetting to tip the bartender. To rectify the situation, Meyers sought out Aidy Bryant in the crowd, borrowed some cash from her, and returned to settle his tab. Later on, Meyers reimbursed Bryant on his show, adding a dollar as interest. This incident sheds light on several interesting tidbits: Seth Meyers values taking photos with fans, Seth Meyers is mindful about tipping, Aidy Bryant still carries cash in today’s digital world, and Meyers honors his debts – especially when it makes for good television.
