Last week,* Jimmy Kimmel was on Late Night, and Seth Meyers had some questions for his fellow late night host because that is what you do on a talk show.
Anyways, Meyers wanted to know if there is anything that Kimmel has noticed over his 21 years of hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live.
At first, the ABC host was like no. But then he did remember something. “One of the things as a talk show host that you get to experience that the home viewers do not get to experience is the smell of the guests,” Kimmel said. “And I’ve found that the worst-smelling guests are the best-looking guys.”
He then elaborated that some of these men who have been People’s Sexiest Man Alive have huge BO, and he is not talking about their box office numbers.
Kimmel and Meyers’ theory is that because they look so fuckable, they are trying to find ways not to be fuckable.
Neither host mentioned any names, so who do you think Kimmel is talking about? I am thinking Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey are at least two of the men they are talking about, but I am sure I missed a few.
But it wasn’t only about the male celebrities who stink in a bad way; it was also about the ones who smelled good. Kimmel said that the “best-smelling guests are the old guys,” like the late Don Rickles and Regis Philbin. Their scent is of Aqua Velva from the Cococabana days that Barry Manilow sang about.
I can see what he is talking about because the best-smelling male celebrity I ever got a whiff of was Wayne Newton. I smelled like him for hours after we met, and that was a good thing.
*I know this interview is old, but I don’t have the attention span to watch 15-minute interviews. So I didn’t see this on LNSM posted it on TikTok yesterday. Therefore, blame his social media people and not me for being late to the game!
Seth Meyers’ wallet got some good news today. His talk show Late Night was picked up by NBC until 2028. This is bad news for his liver, which now has four more years of Day Drinking ahead of it.
“Over the last 10 years, Seth has resonated with his audience night after night with a sharp monologue and established segments such as ‘A Closer Look’ and ‘Day Drinking,’” said Katie Hockmeyer, Executive Vice President, Late Night Programming, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “We’re so happy to continue this legacy franchise with Seth at the helm and watch him continue to elevate the success of ‘Late Night.’”
I think this is a smart decision on NBC’s part because Meyers is the best late night host on television today. He is by far the best interviewer, and his monologues are watchable. I can’t wait to see what he is going to do with his renewal, but I know it will be funny.
Six years ago, Seth Meyers welcomed his second son, Axel. However, his birth was not a normal one. He didn’t want to wait to get to the hospital, so his mom, Alexi Ashe, had him in the lobby.
Meyers nicknamed his middle child Lobby Baby. The story became so famous after he told it on Late Night that that is also the name of the host’s 2019 Netflix comedy special.
Anyways, in honor of Lobby Baby’s birthday, Meyers shared a photo of his son from where it all began for his baby boy. And the tyke is turning out so freaking cute!
Hopefully, his dad took him day drinking for milkshakes for his birthday.
Believe it or not, late night hosts don’t write their own jokes. They have writers who do it for them.
One of those writers is Bryan Donaldson, and he works on Late Night. Yesterday, he wrote two dad jokes for Seth Meyers and the host was not thrilled with them.
So Meyers called his writer out on the show. And gave him a lesson on how to write a joke properly for television.
While the jokes were bad, they were also funny. And they were made even funnier because of the way Meyers jokingly went off on Donaldson.
Seth Meyers took Kristen Stewart out Day Drinking on Late Night. And he realized by the end of their day that he likes girls. Therefore, the actress dressed him as a lesbian! And he looked more like a hipster than a lesbian. You know what, it works for him!
BTW I commend Meyers for trying to make Stewart interesting, but even lots and lots of alcohol can’t do that.
