The Rise of Seth Meyers

We all know Seth Meyers from his years on "Saturday Night Live" and all of his memorable moments as the Weekend Update anchor.  He became a star, an icon in comedy.  He had one of the longest running years in SNL history.  He finally departed in 2014, his next step - a host on "Late Night."  This was a big role to take, but with the confidence of Seth Meyers, nothing will stand in his way.  As the show premiered in yearly 2014, he started his show off by standing up and not sitting at a desk.  It was the regular monologue, you stand, you tell jokes from the cue cards, but there was something that just wasn't right.  He seemed a little bit uncomfortable, but he later decided to have the monologue at the desk instead, which later became a huge move that would end up becoming the most successful decision for the show.  The show didn't quite hit its peak at all in 2014 and even in 2015.  I didn't seem to find that go to segment until 2016, it was a segment called "A Closer Look" A 10 minute segment where Seth satires the news, and it became such a big successful, it trends throughout YouTube each day after every segment.  I couldn't be more proud of Seth Meyers, a wonderful man, with a great heart, and who is easily one of the funniest humans in the business, has found his peak.  He and his staff have for sure clinched themselves in the Emmy Award category.
