Who Is Seth Myers Related to Hes Not Funny
A Closer Look
I record Seth. He's must see. Sarcastic and witty. He cracks me up. Really good at making fun of Trumpsters.
The only thing I don't like is when he brings his two writer girls on which replaces A Closer Look.

Thanksgiving Episodes Are The Best
Although I tend to skip the monologue because it's overtly political. I get that's his niche. I really look forward to the thanksgiving episodes. I tear up at the family video clips sometimes. He seems very approachable. I like the more relaxed look.

A great host with great writers
I have loved every episode post-covid, the sense of humor and more casual air between him, his writers, and everyone else on set (who, let me just say, I LOVED being able to hear them laughing along throughout the no audience episodes ðŸ˜) make it easy to laugh along even with the jokes that don't quite land, and in all seriousness, I genuinely love his impressions very much.

An important show.
I think this is an important show, especially for those of us who don't want to spend a lot of time on political news. I think he should focus on a little more than just Trump, and goes a bit overboard on him, however.

The best late night host
Seth Meyers is the best late night host on air currently. The fast paced Closer Look segment packs in a huge amount of info and comedy and he does it with such ease. He's genuine, charming and funny, what more do you want from a late night host?!

I don't know what to say, but I'll try...
Wow. If this is the level of comedy that people are watching these days, then I must really be missing something, because I can't point out a single point throughout the run-time of this show when I even cracked a smile.
Seth Meyers had a fun role on SNL. Doing the same thing over and over again there was part of the SNL culture. But a late night show requires dynamism and character, an improvisational feel, humor... This is by far the worst late night show put together. It is indeed a mystery to me how this has been airing for so long... I really wonder how much the channel pays entertainment news sources not to talk about how unfunny and uninteresting this show is.
When Seth Meyers' own brother is one of the most repeat visit guests, it tells me one thing: even the celebrities and their agents don't want them to air on this show to relieve them from the tedious and embarrassing nature of it. I mean seriously, the last episode I watched had a 5 minute discussion between him and his brother about how useless twitter is. We know twitter is useless. The people who use it know it's useless. It's a boring subject, and so is every. other. subject. on. this. show. I feel like the target audience of this show is hospital patients, as if they weren't already going through enough.
It's painful to watch this series. It makes me hurt on the inside because I feel like I'm wasting valuable minutes on completely pointless conversation. I really don't know how so many unfunny people managed to find each other to collaborate on this wasted effort. Worse yet, it's airing internationally! Everyone I talk to about this show is as upset about it as I am. Why aren't viewer ratings being considered? Please, if you value comedy, end your careers and free air-time for something that isn't thoroughly boring.

Nice show
I honestly don't get why this show is getting bad reviews. I have to assume they are reviewing the episodes that aired pre-COVID. I've been watching recently and I have to say it is a pretty funny show. Since March 2020, Seth has been doing the show without an audience. He has really been doing well. Despite being overused, A Closer Look is hilarious most of the time. I do have to warn that Seth does get more political than Jimmy Fallon, whose show airs directly before Seth's show on weeknights, but other than that, it is fine. In my opinion, Seth has been able to squeeze a lot more jokes into an episode now than he was able to when he paused for audience laughter every 6 seconds. I recommend giving the show a try when it comes back on August 9th. Or just watch a full episode now on NBC's website.

Meyers monologues are worse than hearing finger nails screeching across a chalk board
Why are some late night television shows allowed to maintain air time for so long compared to other decent television series which get shelved prematurely? What I will say however is that no one that I know really cares (less) about Late Night with Seth Meyers. I propose that if Seth Meyers wants to stay on the air that he moves over to even a later time slot and maybe over to a public broadcasting station. Then when there is a public funding drive the producers would see by the low (or NO) financial contributions that Seth Meyers should be taken off the air permanently.
When Meyers took over for Jimmy Fallon who got promoted to the prime time slot with the Tonight Show (when Jay Leno was asked to retire) there was a bit of fan fare that both Fallon and Meyers were being provided with a unique opportunity to show how well they could initially build and then sustain their own fan bases.
I must say that I really do enjoy Jimmy Fallon and his style of physical comedy as well as his personal interactions with his guests. As for Seth Meyers? What does he do but continually (write?) spew pitiful monologues and then he habitually takes a very long, long pause until people have no choice but to applaud before he proceeds with the next lame joke in his nightly boring monologue. As for the number of people who have rated the Late Night with Seth Meyers show, it has been on the air for almost a year and there have only been 645 people who have even taken the time to provide an IMDb rating. So for the rest of you people who are gainfully employed by Late Night with Seth Meyers I would suggest that in an effort to secure your employment you may want to improve the existing 6.1 rating before the plug is pulled. If the number of IMDb users who actually took the time to rate Late Night with Seth Meyers is an indication of the waning interest in the show then lets get the numbers straight. There have been a total of (two) 2 people who have even taken the initiative to write a review with my own review being the second one since the show went on the air.
I rest my case, and I only wish the producers would take the hint and can this boring show for good so some real talent is provided an opportunity to shine and entertain their audience which is what a late night talk show is intended to do.
Update as of October 03rd, 2019 -
I did a quick summary of the sixty (60) IMDB reviewer ratings who provided a rating score and I discovered the following anomaly:
1. 10 of the 60 ratings scored 8/10 or higher 2. 50 of the 60 ratings scored 4/10 or lower 3. 45 of the (50 above) 60 ratings scored only a 1 out of 10 (because you can't enter a zero (0) score)
The anomaly is that of the 5,149 people who provided an IMDB rating for this piece of crap the average IMDB rating is still 6.1?
Who are you going to believe if this show is average to good, or really, really, really bad?

A dreadful bore
From the monologues to his guest interactions, it's staged, artificial and monotone. Utterly dreadful. As a place holder for the 12:35 timeslot, I guess that makes him a perfect fit? (high pitched inflection mixed with confusion)
His segments, namely the 'Ya Burnt' segments are not purposeful. It seems as though this is an attempt at a catch-phrase. While seeing past SNL cast members on the show can be entertaining, the awkward interview with Maya Rudolph was more of a plea than anything else to get her to impersonate Rachel Dolezal. The timing and nature of the interview didn't welcome the impersonation as Seth might have hoped. It was just unnatural.
There are comedians in existence who execute 'smart-comedy' masterfully. Seth isn't one of them.

Smartest Talk Show On TV
Ignore all the 1 star reviews. They are ppl who have an agenda, who are overly sensitive & are only here to badmouth one of the smartest & funniest talk shows on television. And Seth Meyers is a highly intelligent host who has mastered the art of satire and quick wit. His writers/performers are all terrific as well. Especially when it comes to politics & showing how inept this administration truly is. The guest interviews are great as well.
Can't recommend it highly enough.

Trying too hard to be witty and funny
Let me say from the outset that I am not one to watch any of the late night shows. That being said, "Late night with Seth Meyers" is the worst of the current stock of late night shows. While the guests that he manages to get can be interesting or funny - Seth Meyers' interviewing style and his own brand of humour are just not funny. I especially do not like it when any comic - and this definitely includes Seth Meyers - looks into the camera looking and waiting for you the audience to 'get' his joke.
I don't know why anyone finds his humour funny...his sojourn on Saturday Night Live as head writer made Saturday Night Live sink to new lows - and then he's rewarded with his own show! MY guess is that many people turn this show on in order that they can fall asleep!

Seth Meyers
Love his show. He's spot on calling out president on all his lies and BS. His corky comedy jokes/skits are what you expect from him. Some of the jokes are out there but that's how he does it. I always get a laugh when watching his show. I was lucky and got tix to see his show and the experience was great. From moment showed up at building till we left. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They have a comfortable waiting area unlike most other NY shows you go see. Seth takes time to come talk to audience and he's not rushed. He stood there calmly talking and interacting with everyone. Was nice that he wasn't so full of himself like most. The comedy guy is funny and calls you out. As with every show audience u have to cheer and laugh but their not yelling at you to do it for some long amount of time. I loved the experience the show was funny the band was great. Would love to go back next time I'm in NY area. Any day Seth is better, funnier and has balls unlike Jimmy Fallon. Go Seth.

The best late night show ever
I absolutely love this show. The opening monologues and the sections like A Closer Look or Ya Burnt are hilarious.
I was never ever a letter to stand SNL, this is not the same humor. This humor is sharp, it reminds me of The Colbert Report. I didn't like David Letterman either, he was too pretentious. And Jay Leno was OK, sometimes a bit too simple.
I find Seth Meyers' humor just right. But then again - I'm never into the popular stuff, so seeing other users' negative reviews doesn't surprise me a bit!
A lot of people complain about too much political jokes. That's exactly what I love the most. Our political class is a joke, nothing wrong with laughing about it.

Bye Bye Seth!
Since day one, I watched every episode but he has succeeded to finally turn me off. The show should be renamed Late Night MSNBC. I don't want to end my night getting aggravated by politics. I am an independent who voted for Obama but Seth's constant bashing of Republicans is totally turning me off. I have noticed his mean attacks are even aimed at Sanders, as if Seth has made it his mission to get Hillary "Republicans are my enemy" Clinton elected. Bravo Seth! Good job making a loyal viewer give up on you. Even though I think your comedy is funny (Love the Venn Diagrams, Florida or Truth, Dog Shaming) your politics is not. Goodbye for now. If you decide to be a true comedy show in the future, I may consider watching again.

people need to give this show another chance....it's improved vastly in last few months, and has become more of a daily show now---better than Noah
I hated this show. Period. Now, I've watched recent episodes and it is gold. Like way better than before. Its actually he shame he took so long to find his groove because I guarantee any former daily show fan frustrated with Noah will likely be satisfied with Seth's first 15min. every night as supplement to Noah's awfulness. Seriously, I understand where ll the bad reviews came from; but, you people really need to give it another look---or, "a closer look" (as is the name of a consistently great political satire piece he does!). Another line to submit review. Another line to submit review.Another line to submit a review. Another line to submit a review. Pretty dumb policy IMDb.

Seth is becoming more like John Oliver and it works for me
The show has improved a lot. Seth definitely seems in control whenever he is pushing his political agenda (even though he needs to tone that down a bit). The "Closer Look" segment is the best part of his show and I am always looking forward to that. His show is different from the other late night shows because it is more educational. The show has taken itself seriously. The regular complain about the show not being funny enough is valid but that's a direction that the makers have decided and they want to attract a certain kind of audience. Conan is funnier than any other talk show host but its not your traditional late night show, is it?

Late night should be fun - ranting about politics is a downer
I looked forward to Seth taking over Late Night after Jimmy left since Jimmy was super amazing and always entertained. But Seth rapidly turned into Rachel Maddow on a constant rant about politicians and political views that he deemed to be too stupid for words though he had plenty of words to make fun of them.
I stay up late and get up late and there is not much on late at night and I was looking forward to a good, entertaining program like Jimmy Fallon had. But Seth has been getting worse during the election season with his diatribes against anyone but Hillary Clinton. I have tried to overlook these segments but they have been getting more frequent and longer sometimes lasting for close to what seems like ten minutes.
I have had enough. I will not be spending my nights watching Seth Meyers but watching something that entertains me and wants me to watch their show not convert me to their political philosophy and candidate. I had such high hopes but someone wants to use Late Night to promote politics instead of help people have an enjoyable time during the hour that people spend with Late Night hoping for a nice end to an evening.

Easily The Worst Late Night Show of All Time (Biased and political)
Seth Myers is easily the worst late night show host of all time. I have no clue how he got picked to take over for Jimmy.
I'm moderate, and I can't stand how sickly biased he is with his un-funny comedy. All of his jokes are liberal based and he constantly has a political agenda. It's all negative.
Let's be honest. The only reason he gets ratings is because he comes on after Jimmy Fallon, one of the highest rated most watched shows on t.v. People literally just leave it on as background noise as they fall asleep on the couch or prep for the next day.
If he was on any other channel, he would have been canceled after the first few months.
Not funny, biased, rude, over political and NBC should allow Carson Daly to have Myers spot on t.v.

Late Night Becomes Traditional Again
Warning: Spoilers
Jimmy Fallon took Late Night in the 5 years that he hosted it, and turned it into his own show, with a style so much more distinctive than hosts such as Conan and Letterman. He was extremely hyperactive though, never calming down, and bringing energy to all that he did, and that's why I always tuned over to CBS to see what Craig Ferguson had in store for that night.
The 2014 Tonight Show Transition differed greatly from the 2010 Tonight Show Conflict in that it went rather smoothly. Of course, SNL lost one of its best Weekend Update Anchors, but it's really worked out for the best otherwise.
Seth Meyers, although getting off to a bit of a rough start, has proved his worth in the month he's sat in the chair. He's also made the show his own, and has brought original material while toning it down a lot from when Fallon hosted. If there was one thing I had to fix though, it'd be the monologue. It could be handled a lot more smoothly.
All in all, an interesting era of Late Night lies ahead, and Seth Meyers is the man to emcee it all!

A classic case of obsession.
Seth Prides himself on his education and literary aspirations, so I imagine that he has read Melville's Moby Dick. But is he aware that he has become a living incarnation of Captain Ahab and that Donald Trump is his Great White Whale? What started out as an amusing, often intellectually playful format has devolved into a political screed that often sinks into venomous vulgarity. The show has gone beyond painful to watch and it is clear that its host needs some form of psychological intervention. Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, and David Letterman knew how to throw a good political harpoon into a politician but they never carried it to the point of dragging themselves and their shows into the abyss. Can Seth Meyer's Late Night be saved? Unless its host experiences a philosophical sea change, it seems an unlikely possibility.

Not everyone who hates this show is a trump fan.
Let me start this by saying I think Trump is a misogynist, narcissist. On that note, if Trump wasn't in office, Seth would have nothing to talk about. WE GET IT. You don't like him. All the late night shows have turned to garbage. Led by this clown. And all the people in the reviews saying that it's Trump fans saying bad things about this show, you're as dumb as Seth. There is literally dozens of things you could watch instead of this crap put on TV disguised as comedy. Please, Please find a new host. Till then, will not be watching.

The spoiler is, Seth Meyers is a talentless hack.
Warning: Spoilers
I hardly ever leave reviews. But Seth Meyers is the most in-funny person to ever have a late night talk show. Even Chevy Chase was funnier. I don't know how this guy got this show. He must have pictures of the network execs in compromising positions. Please god please let this hack be fired.

Good Late Night
The show is a bit twisted. It is much better than the Late Late Show which I find is a bit manic for no reason. But Seth's delivery is professional and usually funny. The skits on the show are funny or odd and that is good too. I do believe that Fred needs to be there more often. I also like that it has, like Jimmy Fallon, a direct line to the talent on SNL. I can find no real issue with the jokes. Some hit and some don't but lets look back to Dave letterman and even Johnny Carson. Some of their stuff didn't hit at all. So picking on Seth for having a few jokes go south is just as easy on any show. Overall I like watching the show just about every night.
