Seth Meyers

It’s a testament to the times that former Saturday Night Live head writer turned late-night talk-show host Seth Meyers is one of the top sources around for trenchant analysis of current events. While it’s arguable if that’s a good thing, there’s no debating that his perceptive takes on the absurdity of everything from college-admissions scandals to Donald Trump—especially Donald Trump—are hilarious when he delivers them with a megawatt smile and a snarkishly self-aware sparkle in his eyes. Though often political, he’s also adept at mining the quirks of personal relationships and domestic life for humorous tales. When freed from the confines of his chat-show desk, he’s known for delivering a brisk stand-up set punctuated with a variety of accents, impressions, and goofy pantomimes. He never actually winks at you, but thanks to a style honed hosting SNL’s Weekend Update segment for years, you’ll often feel like he is. 7 & 9:30 p.m.
