When Seth Meyers first started out, I thought he would never last. After doing the job for two years, I think he has more than proven himself as the host of Late Night and deserves to stick around for a while. I am not alone because NBC announced today at their TCA Press Day that he signed a new contract for 5 more years.
If you gave up him, come back. I think he is one of the top interviewers and he is also the strongest late night host when it comes to covering politics. With the Presidential election still almost 10 months away, we need to someone to make fun of these laughable candidates in smart and entertaining way. He’s the answer.
Olivia Wilde was on Late Night yesterday and Seth Meyers asked her to take part in the Actathalon Challenge. Basically, she had to show off her acting skills in 10 different scenes, each harder than the one before it.
Which one did she excel at? The horror themed one, and I want to know why she hasn’t played a scream queen yet. Let’s be honest, she nailed them all. In fact, throwing wine at the NBC late night host’s face seemed to come so natural to her. So much so, you have to wonder if it is something she does a lot. Too bad House still isn’t on the air because I’d love to see her do that to him.
The Actathalon Challenge is so brilliant, I can’t wait to see more actors take part in it. So far only Neil Patrick Harris and Wilde are the only ones to have successfully finished it. Who would you like to see give it a try?
Seth Meyers is one of the younger guys hosting a late night show, but that doesn’t mean that he has the stamina to stay up until 12:35a to watch his show Late Night on NBC. He revealed this little tidbit to Entertainment Weekly over the weekend, by saying, “I don’t think we’ve (his wife and him) been awake when my show has aired once since I started doing it.” Then he explained why, “We wake up every morning at 6:45 to start our day. I can’t be up at 12:30 to watch a show that I know all the jokes for. ‘Yeah, nailed it, man. That’s a good one. Honey, honey, wake up: a real good one coming up. Solid zinger!’”
While that makes sense, it also makes him sound really old. Thankfully, his show is youthful. If you’ve never seen Late Night with Seth Meyers, now is the time to start watching because he has finally found his voice on it. Late Night has become a really strong show and no one is talking about it. I think he is doing a much better job covering politics than Stephen Colbert, and that’s the latter one’s claim to fame. Not only that, Meyers comedy bits have gotten so much funnier this season.
So if you are like Meyers, DVR it. If you are not like him and can stay up, then watch it. It truly has become one of the strongest late night talk shows on television.
It’s common knowledge that Robert De Niro is one of the greatest actors of our time. He is equally as brilliant whether he is doing comedy or drama. Yesterday, when he was on Late Night, Seth Meyers asked him to show him how he delivers lines differently if it is for a dramatic role or a comedic one. The difference is incredible. Once you watch him do what he does best, you will be completely blown away. So much so, you will declare he is the greatest actor of all time!
We know that Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake are best friends, but for some reason the singer wrote some theme songs for the man that follows his BFF! That’s right, he is so nsync with Late Night with Seth Meyers that he created a few catchy jingles for him. Then when he was done, he presented it to the host. How did it go? Let’s just say Meyers called security on the new dad. Can’t say I blame him, do you?
