corrections. To watch all new

0:09
Night YouTube channel. In
0:15
the year 2021, Late Night
0:17
Talk Show host Seth Meyers unleashed the
0:19
full fury of the internet with the
0:21
utterance of a single word. Legos.
0:25
Legos. Legos are the stories of one
0:28
man's descent into the bowels of the
0:30
internet and is courage to take on
0:32
the most dangerous people on earth, YouTube
0:35
commenters. Recorded every Thursday
0:37
after the audience has left Studio
0:39
8G and witnessed only by scattered
0:41
members of the late night staff
0:43
and crew, this is
0:46
Corrections, the podcast. I
0:53
did not go outside to see the eclipse. If
1:03
you, like me, live in fear
1:05
of the moon, thanks to Mac
1:08
Tonight, you're
1:10
not that interested in
1:12
the day it blocks out the sun. I.e.
1:17
its plan comes to
1:19
fruition. Hey,
1:21
Seth, you want to go outside and see
1:24
the moon win? Gotta
1:27
wear special glasses or you'll go blind. No,
1:29
thank you. David,
1:35
David, excuse me, David Eigenberg played Steve
1:37
on Sex and the City. He
1:40
was also in the Dick
1:42
Wolf show Chicago Fire. Interesting
1:46
showbiz story. He
1:49
was originally cast as a police
1:51
officer on Chicago
1:53
PD, but he made a
1:56
terrible cop because everyone
1:58
he arrested... was set
2:02
free because
2:04
he refused to read them their
2:07
Miranda rights. I
2:12
just can't do it, Chief. Was
2:27
that releasing the nitrous? We
2:31
made a joke implying the comic
2:33
book that contained the first appearance of Aquaman
2:35
would not be valuable. I
2:37
was told Aquaman's first appearance was in More Fun
2:39
Comics, number 73, and in mint condition
2:44
it could sell at upwards
2:46
$185,000. And
2:49
if you sold it for that much, I'd get
2:51
out there and brag about it. And if you
2:53
bought it for that much, shh. We
3:00
are going to try to pick our Emmy
3:02
submission episode. We kind of have a
3:04
consensus on the top four. So go
3:06
to Sea Captain Polls. We're going to do 96
3:08
versus 89, and 94 versus 82 based on the
3:10
winners of that. We'll
3:16
then have a final, and then after
3:18
you pick a winner, I'll still wait
3:20
two more weeks before I tell
3:22
Shoemaker my decision. I
3:29
said, undieve salad. Told
3:32
it was endive. For the record, I thought
3:34
it was endive too, but when I said that in front
3:36
of Bay's, he slapped the salad fork out of my hand.
3:43
We referred to the increase in Donald Trump's
3:45
wealth thanks to his truth social stock as
3:47
paper money. That was incorrect. We should have
3:49
said paper wealth. Paper wealth is money that's
3:51
not actually real, whereas paper money is of
3:53
course real money. Though
3:55
I wouldn't recommend trying to pay a New
3:57
York cabby with it. Certainly
4:01
changed their tune since 2007. 2007,
4:04
you tried to give him a credit card. It was like, ugh. Now
4:07
you try to give him cold, hard cash. Same thing. Make
4:10
up your minds, guys. I
4:14
imply Jean Valjean had been imprisoned 19
4:17
years for stealing a loaf of bread. He was sentenced to five years
4:19
for the bread and then three
4:21
extra years for each of his successive four
4:24
escape attempts. Apologies
4:27
to the French legal system for making it
4:29
seem like they give you 19 years for bread theft.
4:31
Five is okay. I
4:34
think five is fair. You may get any less than five people or
4:36
just you're inviting him to steal your bread. You
4:40
could also send them something that feels like less
4:42
than five years. You know, if like
4:44
your prison system is overwhelmed, you don't have room for
4:47
somebody. Like making them
4:49
sit through Les Mis. Who
4:56
am I? How do you not know? I
4:59
know. YouTube
5:04
captions our videos. We
5:06
don't caption them. YouTube captions them. I appreciate it.
5:08
It really means a lot to me that they
5:10
go out of their way to make it easier
5:12
for everyone to enjoy. With that said, could we
5:14
not do this ever again? I'm
5:17
sorry. I'm sorry. Someone
5:31
wrote, is your crew forced to come to corrections? They
5:35
then asked, are they forced to drink? They
5:38
are not forced to come. But
5:40
if they come, they're forced to drink. I
5:44
made the sound of someone driving a tractor. I
5:47
was told that's not the sound a tractor makes. Bunch
5:51
of you posited that I've never been on a tractor.
6:01
What? You
6:04
think I would trust someone else to get my wheat? I
6:13
did a George W. Bush impression, and
6:17
then afterwards I said I had a C- Bush. You
6:22
should all be ashamed of yourselves. The
6:27
amount of people that thought I was referring to my
6:29
pubic hair. And
6:32
by the way, the fact that I just done a Bush
6:34
impression and nobody connected saying I had a
6:36
C- Bush to that means it's an F-
6:38
Bush. C-
6:42
Bush. I
6:44
mean, in your heads, what does a C- Bush even
6:46
look like? I
6:49
mean, is it something like this? You
6:51
monsters! I
7:08
mean, I was never going to go down to graphics with that request.
7:13
Give me a few options for C- Bush. That'd
7:15
be their dream. I
7:18
mean, they emailed them to me by the time I got
7:20
back to my desk. How's this? And
7:22
they didn't look like graphics. It looked like hastily
7:25
taken photos. Want
7:30
to guess which one of us made this
7:32
one? Someone
7:38
wrote, it's pronounced Porsha de Rossi,
7:41
not Porsha de Ross. Sounds
7:45
like you missed the jokey. A
7:53
lot of weird stuff's been happening since
7:56
the eclipse. Sure,
8:01
you're all like, it's not connected, whatever. Hey,
8:06
we've been making a lot of
8:08
jokes about
8:10
Boeing doors. You
8:12
know, we've been making a lot of jokes about Boeing because those doors are flying off.
8:15
And then I said Boeing plane, and then
8:17
one of you said you don't have to say Boeing plane because
8:19
they only make planes. And then a bunch of you said, actually,
8:21
you should say Boeing plane because Boeing makes a lot of other
8:23
stuff. And then I made the
8:25
joke that they
8:29
also made Lord of the Rings films
8:31
because those are so Boeing. And
8:33
then leadermen yelled Jesus because I guess
8:36
that joke was so bad Pete converted.
8:47
With that said, the reason I went through it again is that
8:49
was all set up to one of my favorite Jackal
8:51
jokes ever submitted. Boeing can't
8:53
make Lord of the Rings because they don't have
8:56
more door. Not
9:00
a bad correction joke. Went
9:06
back last week
9:08
in Seth's version to the old how to
9:10
pronounce Babar. Babar?
9:15
The problem is everybody said there's no real right way, right?
9:17
Because it's regional. Like you can say
9:19
Babar, you can say Babar, and Boston say Baba.
9:23
And in Chicago they say Babar.
9:34
We talked about a cliffhanger and this
9:36
was the cliff we used. I
9:38
was told is not a cliff at all. It's
9:41
Maccafee's knob. And
9:43
that's an actual photo of it. Maccafee's
9:45
knob is on the Appalachian Trail. It's
9:47
one of the most popular places to
9:49
stop on the Appalachian Trail. And
9:53
you look right over there. You
9:56
could say this is a knob with a C- Bush. Also,
10:07
Maxby's now the only rock formation
10:09
in America that can protect your
10:12
computer from viruses. I
10:32
want to do a new tag for the end of a closer look. Hey,
10:36
everyone, if you enjoyed a closer look, that's enough for
10:39
me. I
10:41
don't need you to do anything else. I
10:43
made it. You watched it. I
10:46
don't need you to like, subscribe,
10:48
do anything else, but
10:50
live your life. Whatever
10:52
it is you've been dreaming of doing now is when I want
10:54
you to do it. I'm
10:57
going to stick around because I got nowhere
10:59
else to be. Go.
11:05
Go do whatever it is you've always, I mean, don't
11:07
just watch like Kimmel videos. Go
11:21
to a Knicks game. Bring
11:24
my son Ash to his first, excuse me,
11:26
Rangers game. Bring my son Ash to his
11:28
first organized sporting event, right? And
11:33
they ask, they say, hey, can we cut to you during the
11:35
game? I'm like, yeah, sure, that'd be
11:37
great, right? So before they cut
11:39
to you, they show a clip from
11:41
the show. And
11:44
you know what they showed? They didn't show a monologue joke.
11:46
They showed a joke from Surprise Inspection. But
11:51
they didn't set up Surprise
11:53
Inspection. So
11:56
instead, they just show everybody the Rangers game, me
11:58
telling Brian Donaldson. scallions joke
12:08
It cuts to me literally people boo
12:12
My son live it cuts to me
12:14
my son my son leans out of the shot You
12:38
Somebody wrote I feel
12:41
bad Seth invented birdbane
12:43
and They're gonna make
12:45
Halloween costumes and he's not gonna make any of the money
12:48
and a jackal Wrote in he
12:50
doesn't do it for the bucks He
12:52
does it for bucks. Laugh And
12:59
there you have it singularity
13:06
you wrote an inside joke about a person you never
13:08
met You
13:14
never met buck and you never have to You
13:19
watched corrections and you made a joke about
13:21
buck and it worked And
13:26
in the end wasn't that the goal You
13:41
usually hear the rain inside You
14:02
That's a hundred. I
14:06
kind of can't believe we
14:08
did it. But
14:11
we did it. A
14:14
thing that nobody would have said was a good idea.
14:16
And maybe
14:19
they were all right in the end. Let
14:25
me just say
14:29
I have no regrets about
14:34
my time with the jackal. We
14:43
went through this together. We
14:47
learned a lot. I
14:50
grew. You
14:53
didn't? I
14:57
don't know if any of us are better people, but
14:59
we made something together. I
15:05
couldn't have made it without you. I
15:12
just want to say that together
15:16
nothing will ever hurt us. Got
