Announcer tonight on late night with seth meyers. Leslie jones an all new closer look, featuring the 8g band with fred armisen and now, Seth Meyers Seth welcome to late night. How is everybody doing i am not sure about all of you but i could barely sleep last night. It did not have anything to do with the election. I could not sleep because for the last four evenings, my son axel, who is two years old, has woken up in the middle of the night to scream as loud as he can. Dada, i want to go back at halloween. Over and over again. And hes really loud and my son ashe is right next door to him and we dont want him to wake up ashe, so i have to go in there and i have to tell him and explain to him that i know he loves halloween but it has already happened and i also have to tell him that if youre going to say it at all you should say i want to go back to halloween. And when you say i want to go back at halloween, you embarrass yourself that is my son, who was born in our lobby of our Apartment Building and i was walking out of our Apartment Building today and i love it so much. I love our new york city apartment so much, especially because its where my family lives. Every day with young kids you have another memory and it just feels like a home. But for what seems like forever, there has been scaffolding outside our apartment and it is just the ugliest scaffolding it is a blight and they constantly tell us its about to come down. And then something changes and its still up and it was actually officially supposed to come down yesterday. And so i walked out this morning and it was still up. And i said to the attending nurse, which is what we call our doorman, because he was there when our son was born in the lobby. I said, hey, what gives i thought the scaffolding was going to come down. And im thinking in my head, you know, its ugly scaffolding but its not our apartment its just temporary, this scaffolding. And he said to me, yeah it was supposed to come down but now they think its going to be one more day or maybe two more days until the scaffolding finally comes down i said, oh thats good and then he said, or and i said, or, what he said, or, theyre going to take it to the courts and the scaffolding will be up for another four years [ laughter ] yeah shoemaker, its a metaphor. [ laughter ] dont call it out. Im trying to be artful with language here. Look, i know you dont like the back and forth but i dont have an audience. [ laughter ] you guys, theres never been a more important time to mention that we tape this show at 5 00 p. M but as of this taping, the winner of the president ial election has not been determined and votes are still being counted in several key states. Of course, youre watching this at 12 35 tonight or maybe some Time Thursday afternoon, so if trump won, will you please get in a time machine and come back to find and kill me. All right, maybe were good. Lets get to the news. Yesterday was election day, or the beginning of election week you know what . Last night was the first night of election hanukkah according to the New York Times, former Vice President joe biden remains the favorite to win the presidency despite the fact that President Trump singlehandedly brought back the plywood industry south dakota, arizona, and new jersey voted yesterday to legalize recreational marijuana. Wow, i take back every bad thing i ever said about you, arizona and south dakota thats right, new jersey, south dakota and arizona voted yesterday to legalize recreational marijuana, though right now all marijuana is medicinal. President trump yesterday called into fox friends or as he appeared on their caller i. D. , scam likely. During an interview yesterday President Trump said that as president , quote, by far, the most difficult country to deal with is the u. S. Well, sure dealing with any country is tough when you dont speak the language susbested lawmarkers tolorided. Distribution of urgerncy seth sir, can i just bring you the menu with the pictures . President trumps Senior Campaign advisor jason miller said in an interview yesterday, polling is broken polling is like Humpty Dumpty, its smashed into 1,000 pieces. Oh, yeah imagine having that head and choosing to mention Humpty Dumpty he might as well have said polling is broken polling is like that guy who helps the power rangers. According to a new survey, 81 of pet owners said that theyve been treating their cat or dog more like a child during the coronavirus pandemic oh great, a whole generation of pets who will grow up secondguessing themselves do i want to fetch that ball or is it just my mothers voice . And finally, a man in new york briefly installed a 50 foot pirate ship in his front yard. And now he and his wife arrrrr getting divorced and again, thats the kind of joke we can have if everything breaks the way we want it to just nice pirate jokes to go to bed to wouldnt that be something that was a monologue weve got a great show for you tonight.

Well, election day may be over, but the ballot counting continues with joe biden tentatively ahead in enough states to win the presidency and, as expected, the president and his allies are falsely declaring victory, lying to discredit the results, and trying to stop the count altogether for more on this its time for a closer look. Seth were taping this at 5 00, so we cant say what will happen as states continue counting ballots, and they should all be counted. But as were taping this, the president s path to victory is narrowing. Wisconsin and michigan have both been called for biden, and as New York Times election analyst nate cohn noted, biden now leads in states worth 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win, or as trump put it in his unhinged, middle of the night complaint fest this is a fraud on the american public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election we have won georgia. [ cheers and applause were up by 2. 5 or 117,000 votes with only 7 left. They are never going to catch us they cant catch us. Likewise, weve clearly won North Carolina [ applause ] where were up 1. 4 . Were 77,000 votes with only approximately 5 left. They cant catch us. Seth all right, first of all, yeah, they can catch you, since you lumber like a retired frankenstein looking for a golf ball in a sand trap. Second, no, you havent won those states you might win some of them, once the counting is done, or you might lose them, but the counting isnt done. For example, i dont know whats going to happen in georgia, but as were taping this, there are more votes to count in democratic areas, and that godforsaken New York Times needle has it tilting toward biden. Spent all night staring at that thing, and every time it moved it was like hearing a twig snap in a horror movie. I feel like that needle is a murderers ice pick that im just trying to keep away from my eye. Its a big deal that trump and biden are even neck and neck in georgia, and trump knows that, because in the final days of the campaign, he was whining that he even had to campaign there at all. I shouldnt even be here. They say i have georgia made seth wow, what a shock, youre underperforming there i shouldnt even be in this backwater state, you swamp people when my Campaign Manager told me we were going to georgia, i said, georgia . with those redneck yokels. Dont those people eat rocks and drink gasoline . anyway, vote for me if you can figure out how to sign your name on the ballot, you freaks in fact, as we speak, Trumps Campaign is asking for a recount in wisconsin and spent all night fighting with fox news to withdraw their call for biden in arizona. And you know trumps in bad shape when hes fighting with fox news, an entire Network Dedicated to repeating everything he says thats like the kardashians fighting with e im told so in those states, trump wants to keep counting, but in states where early returns had him up, like pennsylvania, hes trying to stop ballots from being counted and suggested he wanted the Supreme Court to help him steal it well be going to the u. S. Supreme court we want all voting to stop seth you cant just go to the Supreme Court and tell them to stop counting thats not a thing trump talks about it like hes just going to walk down the street and knock on their door hello, is brett there were drinking beers with tobin and squee. This is deeply dangerous authoritarian behavior and a major test for the national media. We have to resist this trumps logic here is obvious, its grotesque he wants to keep counting trump votes but stop counting biden votes. If he had his way hed get to personally sift through every ballot and cross out bidens name so as of this taping, they are still counting ballots, were still awaiting results but as we said, the path for biden looks much better than the path for trump which is why trump and his allies on fox are going all out to falsely declare victory and discredit the results. But first lets retrace what happened last night and how we got here if you were a democrat or a sane person hoping for an early landslide, as we all know, that did not happen in fact, democrats hopes for an obvious overwhelming result early in the night were quickly dashed in a state where democrats hopes are always dashed, the state that has toyed with and tormented democrats for years the loki of swing states, florida. The state pingponged back and forth for a while until it eventually became clear it would not go bidens way welcome to the roller coaster that is florida. If youre looking at florida right now, its a roller coaster. Welcome back to the roller coaster. Joe biden has pulled ahead by 7,784 votes in the state of florida. Trump just took the lead in florida. And again, this is going to be a roller coaster by 28,000 votes, right . Palm beach turned blue it is red at the moment. It the has gone back and forth several times in just the last 15 or 20 minutes lets take a look at florida, as we go through it again, this one is always a roller coaster seth stop calling it a roller coaster if youre going to be on tv for 14 hours, learn, like, a second word to describe up and down we know its a roller coaster. Every time we look forward to it and then we experience abject terror and we end up barfing in a trash can and say, never again. And florida isnt one of those roller coasters at a legit theme park its one of those weird traveling carnivals where none of the rides have safety bars and the petting zoo animals are just two donkeys and a dog dont touch the dog. Why is it that every election starts with democrats getting hopeful about florida and then getting burned its the political equivalent of that kid from the twilight zone. Were begging him not to send us to the cornfield, and then he smiles for a second and we breathe a sigh of relief, and then he points to us and sends us to the god damn cornfield and then were wandering around the cornfield, saying, nate silver said this wouldnt happen and then nate silver says, no, i said this probably wouldnt happen. And then we scream, not now, nate im corn we were told biden had a 90 chance of winning but the polling had been consistent for an entire year that he was going to win by, like, eight points. The early returns felt like a put on, like some sort of elaborate joke Election Night in america, brought to you by borat subsequent moviefilm. Seth damn it he did it again. Hes so good john king was Sacha Baron Cohen the whole time, wasnt he . I should have guessed when he said democrats were underperforming in the crucial wisconsin county of wawaweewa. Suffice it to say, Election Night was not fun. After one state, i was already deep into the whiskey and my stomach felt like chernobyl. Who could possibly enjoy this . This is why elections are fun. Seth oh, right people who are completely unaffected by the outcome. John king, i assure you, you were the only one having fun thats like hearing your surgeon lean over right before putting you under and saying, this is why brain surgery is fun oh, whoa i did not see that on the scan. Another thing to remember is that these anxietyfilled Election Nights are a completely unnecessary product of two things cable tv and the Electoral College. If we just had a National Popular vote, like a sane country, we wouldnt have to come up with all this complicated math to fend off unpopular fascist demagogues and we wouldnt have to learn the names of all 254 counties in texas, where somehow theres always more trump votes left to come in. As you can see here, biden doing well in stonefield county but over here in dinkington county were expecting about six million more trump votes so keep an eye on that and at some point even the cable shows that thrive on this contrived drama ran out of stuff to say, leading to moments like this you see a lot of red, but you see a lot of blue as well. Seth oh thanks, wolf, are you a news analyst or a tour guide at the guggenheim theres a lot of red and also a lot of blue, and over there is one neon light on a wall. So last night did not start well for democrats, but we should have expected that we were told for weeks thats what would happen, but because of mail ballots there would be a redtoblue shift, that republicans would look good early and then democrats would gain overnight and yet we couldnt heed our own advice its like walking into a casino telling yourself youre going to play one game of craps and then an hour later youre trying to sell your watch to a parking valet for ten more chips this exact same thing happened in 2018 when democrats ultimately beat republicans by a record margin and won a huge majority remember how that night started . Democrats lost races in florida, and this is how everyone reacted. When you look at whats going on here tonight, this is not a blue wave. This is not a blue wave it is not a blue wave its nothing like a blue wave or a tidal wave. Its not a blue wave. So we havent seen the blue wave there is not a blue wave. Seth which in retrospect was wrong. It was a blue wave, with democrats winning by a historic margin and a national repudiation of trump and the gop. Watching all that early punditry was like watching jim nantz call the game for the jets after the first drive because they kicked a field goal tony, i just dont see how the chiefs come back from this, and im sorry, while i was talking the chiefs have scored 21 points. Last night, early in the night, we all started to get that queasy feeling that it was 2016 all over again. I spent most of the night clenching so hard i have six pack abs now and in those moments, i will say, i was very happy that we werent doing a live show. Its like, no one wants to have a panic attack, but if youre going to, youd prefer to have it alone in your apartment instead of on the subway in rush hour but this morning, as millions of votes actually got counted, its starting to feel much more like 2018 for one thing, biden is on track to win a large popular vote victory, which would be the seventh time out of the last eight elections that the democrat won the popular vote. And yet in our ridiculous rubegoldberg political system, thats just a fun piece of trivia instead of, you know, the deciding factor. The bottom line here is we need to count every vote. And there are still mountains of mail ballots to count, which is what always happens. As weve been saying on this show for weeks, this is how its been since the nations founding you think 250 years ago they stopped counting votes at 11 59 p. M. On Election Night they probably didnt even use clocks ben franklin just looked at a candle in a jar, guessed that it was midnight, and then went back to sleep side note, heres my impression of ben franklin from the john adams miniseries. I concur with mr. Adams. [ snoring tom wilkinson, everybody one of the greats. They did you dirty in michael clayton, t also, just to be clear i know nothing about colonial times im just assuming they didnt use clocks dont correct me its a closer look, its not school anyway, the people claiming now that counting votes the morning after an election is somehow a scandal are just bad faith, soulless ghouls. They all claim to be traditionalists, or originalists, or whatever ridiculous euphemisms they want to use for being antidemocratic reactionaries. When the constitution was written, it took weeks to count all the ballots. Thats why the Electoral College meets in december and the inauguration was originally in march. Hell, it probably took weeks just to fill out the ballot because you had to use a quill and inkwell. On the other hand, the calligraphy was beautiful. Again, i know nothing about colonial times except what i learned from john adams, which holds up highly recommend if you want to call yourself a traditionalist or originalist or whatever the hell republicans call themselves, then you have to own that, but when the rubber his the road they all abandon their supposed originalism and scream about how every vote needs to be counted instantaneously. Trump did this for weeks, including just this weekend. I think its a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over, and i think its terrible when we cant know the results of an election the night of the election in a modern day age of computer seth a big tell that someone is in their 70s is when they Say Something like a modern day age of computer. You dont have to say that we all use computers theyre everywhere they have been for decades thats like saying, we should know the outcome on Election Night. After all, it is the age of the automobile. And what do computers have to do anything theyre mailin ballots. Were not voting online. This is a president ial election, not a buzzfeed quiz. You dont send in your ballot, then get a letter in the mail that says, congratulations, youre a samantha. This argument is bewildering in its stupidity and insanity, and we cant forgot that its important to remember theyre literally just counting ballots. Thats it. The ballots didnt magically appear trump has his way of making very normal, everyday things sound like nefarious conspiracies until you take three seconds to think about it you just have to take the psychotic stuff he says and sub in normal human details to see how crazy they are take this tweet, which by the way was censored by twitter because its a deranged lie. He writes last night, i was leading often solidly in many key states, in almost all instances democrat run and controlled then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. Very strange and the pollsters got it completely and historically wrong. Seth theyre not surprise ballot dumps, algernon they were always there theyre just getting counted now. Trumps like a guy who loses at poker night, whining, after the first hand i was leading, often solidly, in many key categories. Then one by one my chips started to magically disappear as i went all in on a jack high, and a surprise pair of 5s was counted. Very strange. Honestly, im at a loss at how to explain this any more succinctly to these people i mean, what else can you say . Theyre counting ballots thats it. Its so straightforward. This is like trying to teach an infant how to say their first word at some point all you can do is just point and say it over and over again until they get it banana. Banana come on, man how much easier can i make it for you . But trump and fox news have been priming their audience with these lies for weeks, and now the moment is here, and theyre taking the outrageous and unprecedented step of falsely declaring victory before all the votes are counted and insisting that any votes that come in for their opponent are somehow fraudulent its an authoritarian movement intent on detonating our democracy and turning it into an autocracy with a healthy sprinkling of psychosis. I mean, listen to this explanation from the president of the United States last night as to why he falsely thinks normal, routine ballotcounting is somehow rigged against him. We were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything, and all of a sudden it was just called off we won states and all of a sudden i said, what happened to the election its off. And we have all these announcers saying, what happened . And then they said, ooh. Seth why does trump always sound like hes describing a dream to a therapist we were getting ready, you know, for, like, a big celebration and then all of a sudden it was called off and i was naked in a room full of easter bunnies. I dont know. Seriously, its incoherent its insane. And i know we say that a lot but especially on this day of all days we cant lose sight of that. This is all just bewildering in its insanity like, lets go back to this. I said, what happened to the election its off. And we have all these announcers saying what happened . And then they said, ooh. Seth what are you saying i hear individual words that i recognize but the sentence structure is gibberish you sound like me trying to give directions in times square to a french tourist ooh, well, boutique des m ms. Ah, ooh. Gone too far. And sure enough, fox news picked up on trumps line of bull[ bleep ]. As soon as he ended his speech, moments after they cut away from trump, exbush hack dana perino, who served as press secretary during one of the most disastrous and catastrophic stretches in recent american history, before, you know, the next republican president , had this to say about trumps speech dana, he was also saying we dont want them to find votes in pittsburgh or any other part of pennsylvania yeah. That all of a sudden youre going to find 100,000 votes that just happened to be in some trash can behind i think thats what he was talking about. Seth you ghouls love your evidencefree musings, dont you . That doesnt belong in the news. That belongs in a penny saver column called danas digressions. Theres literally no proof for what youre saying these people are so insane they think Election Officials are finding ballots the way George Costanza found that eclair its a good ballot, jerry it was above the rim then this morning, fox news went to work trying to sustain the deranged Conspiracy Theory that just counting votes mean magically finding votes because they cant do basic math this thing is down to the wire it will be biden who has to come back to try to grab it the president is up nearly 700,000 votes in pennsylvania. You cant statistically go back and tell me that that thing is still really in play how are they going to go get 700,000 additional votes i just dont think its going to happen one of the things that would be a tragedy in pennsylvania, philadelphia was the birthplace of liberty and if a lot of these votes, you know, sort of suddenly get found and they get counted days after the election, it would be a real shame if philadelphia became the place where liberty also died. Seth counting votes is not finding votes. Theyre not scanning the beach with a metal detector. This isnt a scavenger hunt. Oh, look, i found a ballot, a birds nest, and a toy car now all we need is an autographed head shot of steve guttenberg, and we won the election. Again, they are all valid ballots that are just getting counted the way we always count ballots days or weeks after an election this always happens. And you of all people should know that, mike huckabee, since the last time you ran for something in 2016 you came in ninth in the Iowa Caucuses you did worse than john kasich who im pretty sure sells reverse mortgages now, and carly fiorina, who is so unpopular, she literally disappeared at a campaign event. One of our favorites i hope shes okay. Its been four years we probably should have checked. And in case youre confused at all by that extremely dumb math you just heard, heres an actual smart person explaining early this morning why pennsylvania was definitely not in trumps column yet the big picture in pennsylvania, we think there are upward of two million ballots that have not yet been counted and that are not a part of this tally. Donald trumps lead right now in what has been tabulated is sitting at a little bit less than 700,000 again, nearly two million to come, and they are disproportionately pittsburgh, philadelphia, montgomery county, democratic areas seth god bless Steve Kornacki i dont think he was off camera once last night. They even had a little kornacki mini cam in the corner of the screen when someone else was talking like he was a panda at the national zoo kornacki is the new permanent picture in picture when youre watching thursday night football this week, hell be in the corner counting votes in mecklenburg county. And yet trump and fox news have spent months priming their audiences for this blatant attempt to steal the election and call a Biden Victory fraudulent we knew it was going to happen, and now its here. Fox news kept putting liars on their air, like a supposed gop pollster who falsely claimed nonexistent voter fraud was just baked into the system in pennsylvania and foxs supposed news anchors, not just their opinion hosts, actually took him seriously. Well, look at pennsylvanias. Unfortunately, i think hes got to win by four or five to overtake the voter fraud that will happen there. Its very systematic in pennsylvania i think its achievable to get to four or five but i think thats the kind of margin he needs to have in pennsylvania to survive that but youre not predicting that youre basically saying that he will win but they will steal it . Is that what youre predicting im saying he better win by 4 or 5 to make sure he actually gets the victory there. I think thats the margin hed need to avoid what they will systematically do. Its anticipatory to say that theres going to be cheating when we havent seen it happen yet. Why are you so confident of that well, first of all, pennsylvania has a long history of this, especially in the philadelphia area. Seth first of all, i didnt know Colonel Sanders had a son were projecting a lead of 11 herbs and spices for the president on Election Night. If you dont believe me, just ask my droopy bowtie. Second, no, there is no history of this blatant lie youre repeating on National Cable tv, and why are foxs supposed news anchors taking this guy seriously . Is it possible theyre not actually news anchors but party hacks hired to do trumps bidding . Or, to put it in trump speak, if you turn on fox news, you have all these professional liars saying, what happened . And then they said, ooh. Seth in fact, the republicans are the ones responsible for the delays in ballot counting theyre now complaining about. We could have started counting all these early mail ballots in states like michigan and pennsylvania before election day, but republicans refused you may be thinking, why are we still waiting to hear from michigan and why are they still counting our ballots well, for about 18 months, the election clerks throughout the state of michigan and i called on our state legislature to update our laws to provide time for preprocessing of ballots that were on par with many other states, like our neighbors in ohio, who were able to count the vast majority of their ballots yesterday. Now, our state legislature chose not to make that change to our laws seth yeah. Theyre the ones who said no to counting mail ballots before election day and now theyre the ones claiming a delay in counting mail ballots is somehow suspicious thats the con theyre running it reminds me of that classic Supreme Court case, he who smelt it v. He who dealt it. It will take time to fully process the results of this election, and thats normal and routine, and thats how it should work. Every ballot must be counted, and we cant let trump cheat or discredit those ballots. Moreover, biden appears to have won a sizable popular vote victory over trump, who is running behind many downballot republicans. Will the democrats have some soul searching to do sure but was trump repudiated last night . Were still awaiting final results, but its very much looking like thats what happened if trump had any self awareness at all, hed look at the state hes left the country in and say i shouldnt even be here.

Seth what about did you watch there was a very strange thing that happened last night that, obviously, both candidates gave speeches late in the night. Did you watch those . Were you up for that yes i had to watch the speeches. Okay, first, joe biden comes out with the speech that we need like, be patient which is very upsetting again america, that we got to be told to be patient on some stuff weve been doing for years you let one person come up here, an idiot, and tell us something about the rules, something weve been doing for years and then all of a sudden its something different. So we got to be tell people to be patient which is so annoying. Grow up, america grow up. But even on the other side, i am like, you know, how did American Idol do that . Anyway, when trump came up, though, i was like have you ever just seen a kid that is just mad because somebody dont like them . He had this little paper and everything he was like, yeah, were going to take this to the court. And im just like, oh, get out, please please, just get out. Seth he also sort of he basically announced that he had won. And what do you and he didnt seth think about that play, with so many states undecided . Well, its just like this is what ive been saying all along, seth. This is why i love you and closer look, because you nail it on the head hes just hes just doing that celebrity thing with the hands and the cues and the and the repeating himself. And of course he comes out and he puts these ideas in your head and if you say it enough, its like okay, its like when they want a hit on the radio, and they play the hit every two times an hour. And you keep hearing it, you know you dont like that song. You know you dont like the shape of you. You know you dont like that song okay but it plays three times so now i like the shape of you now. Now i like the shape of you. Okay so thats what trump does. Like, oh yeah, its a fraud. Its a fraud its a fraud. So you put that in your head of people who have not taken time to think about the democracy of this country yeah, hes doing hes doing entertainment 101. Thats all trump is doing. Seth i want to ask you this question you and i are both weve both been very honored over the years to get nominated for an emmy or two. We havent won them. Have you ever thought that you should have played it that way on emmy night, and just shown up on the red carpet and just started talking about the fact that youve won it well, weve already seen kanye kind of do it. You know what im saying you remember when kanye ran up on the stage and was like, no, we won. [ laughter ] and you know, you could probably get away with that, seth you could probably do that but if i ran up on stage and snatched a statue from somebody white, they would beat me like i had broken into walmart and not tried to pay at the regular register seth i have so many questions to ask you about supermarket sweep. Im so excited about that yes seth well be right back with more from leslie jones. Plaque psoriasis. Now, theres skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months after just 2 doses.

But weve been trying to find another show i was very happy to hear that we do love a show, weve already made the mistake of watching it on our own, but you also love ted lasso, right yes, but check this out, though, seth i havent finished the other show that were talking about, if youre going to mention it. Seth well so im very excited about this because alexi does not like scary things, and so i have not seen lovecraft county yet do you think its possible okay. Do you want to me to stop watching cause im on i think im on which episode . Im on the sixth episode [ laughter ] seth okay. Because, omg, one of the best shows on television. So good. So good, people. And im sorry, seth, i have to say this but this is the type of stuff i love to see black people do, i love to see black people write and entertain. Its so good its so good and it has so many aspects, it has that racial thing, but its not like, you know, its just so powerful its so good seth well, im very excited. Always great to hear your love of tv. And a show youve loved forever, supermarket sweep, which i was not aware of, and now youre hosting it yes seth did you ever try to be a contestant on the show yes, i auditioned for supermarket sweep with my, at the time, roommate i trained her harshly and lovingly to get ready for our audition and we were ready. We went in and destroyed it. We were destroying people. And then, you know, we got to the last round, and she looks at me and says, i have to go to work. And i was like, you were supposed to take today off. This is 5,000 this is David Ruprecht this is my chance. This is my chance. And she left and i remember just i just remember being in that parking lot over there on pass just like, you will never be anything seth well, it certainly has worked out for you what is your, can i ask a question, now that youve watched a lot of contestants, what is the item that the most people grab when theyre playing supermarket sweep . Oh, well, it depends. Like, youre trying to get inflatables, which is very important that the inflatables is the ones that could be worth up to 300 and then you have the meats, you know, they go straight to the meats, you know, the turkeys then we have, like, a tomahawk, like the fred flintstones you know, the fred flintstones rib that you remember when he put them on seth yeah, makes the car tip over so, yeah. Seth what have you learned about hosting . What do you enjoy about it so far . I love giving away the money. Oh, my goodness, seth, its so fun to see people receive money. Like, i tell people all the time, its good to pray for somebody, its even good to say to somebody, god bless you but when you give some money to somebody, thats saying, yeah, girl, i want you to make it [ laughter ] seth one last thing i want to ask you about you were in coming to america 2, a movie that were all eagerly anticipating how was that experience . It was it was insane seth, we were all in costume, and we was ready to do the first scene. And when eddie came in, in just full akeem, it was, like, surreal. It felt like we were back in the movie. Thats what it felt like he literally looks the same. When he walked in, he had on the same it just all of us at that time got, like, chills we got chills. Its a really good movie, too. Seth thats so exciting. Im so happy youre a part of that i cant wait to see it and it is always such a delight to have you here thank you so much, leslie. Yes wait a minute, i have been wanting to tell you this i love closer look. When you do obama standup, im telling you, seriously, you make my life i wake up in the morning, i go straight to your page to see closer look. Because your impressions are the dumbest things that ive ever seen in my whole life. Like, theyre so stupid. Like, you do this country whenever you do that country dude, ill be blubbering with obama standup, whenever you say, what else, what else . I lose it, seth. Your closer looks are so good because you really say exactly what needs to be said. It makes me mad because people look and go, oh, hes just liberal. But, no, hes spitting out facts. Like, its not just about being liberal or republican, its about being right and wrong. Its just, your closer looks are my favorite thing. Seth well, thank you we have a very long one for you tonight. Okay. And i got one more thing to say. John mulaney asked you if you thought you were handsome. Seth yeah. Yeah, what what what . You know what ive always thought about you. Like, you should be a president. Youre just, like, beautiful when i walked into 30 rock, i saw you and i was like, this is insane this white man is too beautiful with these glassy blue eyes. And then i ran into colin, and i was like, oh, theyre just making pretty white men in this building what floor is that what floor is they making the pretty white men at .
