Ladies and gentlemen, seth meyers. [ cheers and applause ] seth good evening. Im seth meyers, this is late night. How is everybody doing tonight . [ cheers and applause ] thats fantastic. Before we get to the news tonight, i just have to address one thing. President trump yesterday reversed former president obamas policies on Public Schools letting transgender students use the bathroom to correspond with their gender identity, which brings us to a segment we call hey. [ applause ] seth hey, what are you doing . [ laughter ] as i understand it you were elected to bring jobs back to the u. S. , now, you dont want to let transgender kids use the bathroom of the gender they identify with. Do you think thats why the Auto Industry went to mexico, for the bathrooms . [ light laughter ] first, you demonize muslims, then immigrants and now the transgender community. Hey, just because you want to bring back coal mining, doesnt mean you have to bring back everything from the 1800s. [ cheers and applause ] and hey, during the election, you told the Lgbt Community and i quote, i will fight for you. Did you not mean to include the word for . [ laughter ] theres apparently [ cheers and applause ] theres apparently this fear that transgender kids are using it as a ruse to sneak into restrooms and grab people by the genitals but if youre looking for the kind of person who would do that, you need to look no further than the oval office. [ cheers and applause ] hes right there. And hey, melania, i know you wanted to work on an Anti Bullying Campaign and now i know where you can start. This has been hey. [ cheers ] now, lets get to the news. The annual conservative Political Action conference began today. Here are some of the headliners. Its basically the nations largest gathering of before pictures. [ light laughter ] a new poll has found that despite president trumps claims only 24 of people see his white house as a finely tuned machine. Well, it may not be finally tuned but it is well oiled. [ light laughter ] how are you going to do your hair today . Im going to put oil in it. Cool, ill do it, too. Well be hair twins. Dude, are you surprised dads president . Yeah. [ laughter ] White House Press secretary, sean spicer, yesterday denied that the administrations order revoking lgbt protections sparked a disagreement between attorney general, Jeff Sessions and educations secretary, betsy devos. Spicer also denied that he got his job after putting a quarter in a machine and whispering, i wish i were big. [ laughter ] the nypd sent out a message today telling residents that despite president trumps executive order, new york city will remain a safe place for all immigrants. Im counting on it said one immigrant. [ cheers and applause ] we got you. We got you. Today was International Dog biscuit appreciation day. Theres a party later tonight, but i heard its going to be a real snausage fest. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] a new report projects that by 20 20 the Legal Marijuana industry will create more than a quarter of a million jobs for people to be late to. [ laughter ] and finally, chlamydia has reportedly become a major threat amongst australias koala populations. Scientists first became aware of the problem after receiving a late night text. [ light laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. [ cheers and applause ] she stars in the incredible new film get out, you know her from girls, our friend, Allison Williams is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] and that film her film is fantastic. Very excited to talk to her about that. From the new web series drive share on go90 comedians, paul scheer and rob huebel are on the show. [ cheers and applause ] very good friends of mine. Im so excited theyre here. And author of the new comic novel the sell out paul beatty is here, everybody. Its a fantastic book. Awardwinning book. Before we get to all that good stuff, donald trump has spent a lot of time as president golfing and tweeting. Meanwhile, republican members of congress are in their home district facing down constituents angry over trump and the gops agenda. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth trump has spent a lot of time in his first month in office down at his private club in florida, maralago, away from washington and when he is at the white house, he always seems a little uncomfortable like today, when he held a round table meeting with Business Leaders and the ceo of the Campbell Soup company, introduced herself to trump. Thank you, mr. President. Denise morrison from Campbell Soup company. Good soup. [ laughter ] seth he talks to ceos the way i awkwardly talk to my aunt. Good soup. Nice weather were having. Meanwhile, members of congress are in their home districts right now meeting with constituents and look, its not easy being a member of congress these days, facing down angry voters at rowdy town halls, standing under those hot lights, getting yelled at by your constituents. Im sure theyd love to get out of there and just relax for awhile like this guy. As president , Donald Trumps visited two florida golf courses he owns near maralago. Nearly every weekend since taking office, playing six times so far. Seth you played golf six times in one month . Are you the president of the United States or a San Diego Dentist . [ laughter ] now, some of you might be saying but he criticized obama for golfing, what about that . Well, you are forgetting that when it comes to being a hypocrite, donald trump has a zero handicap. [ laughter ] hes the tiger woods of hypocrisy. [ cheers and applause ] now, most people, myself included, probably dont care that trump is golfing but obviously hes a little embarrassed because the president s team has gone to Great Lengths to hide the fact that hes been playing golf from the public. On sunday for example, the white house claimed the president would spend the day in meetings but then a professional golfer blew trumps cover. Just this past sunday, the president teed it up with professional golfer, rory mcilroy, at Trump International. The golf blog, no laying it up, posted this picture from clear sports of mcilroy with the president at and their foursome at Trump International golf course. A white house spokeswoman told reporters sunday that the president played a couple of holes. Then, after learning that mcilroy had shared the president played 18, the spokeswoman explained the president intended to play a few holes and decided to play longer. Seth no one plays a few holes of golf. [ light laughter ] anyone up for four holes . The only person i ever met who only played a few holes of golf is me, after my dad shanked one and yelled mother [ bleep ] so loud birds flew out of a tree. [ laughter ] im going im going to go back to the clubhouse. In fact, trumps team has been so shady about his golf playing, they wont even let reporters watch or tell the press who hes playing with. His golf game seems to be a cloak and dagger operation. Unlike trumps team, obamas aids allowed cameras to show him to on the links and told reporters who he played with. Seth to be fair, if this is how you looked when you played golf, youd ditch the cameras, too, but trump isnt just spending his time as president golfing, hes also tweeting. In fact, trump tweets so much his team has to look for ways to keep him from doing it. In a politico article yesterday, former Trump Campaign staff has revealed the techniques they use to manage trumps mood and keep him from firing off angry tweets. For example, trumps staffer said its important to show trump deference and offer him praise and respect as that will lead him to more often listen. Leaving him alone for several hours can prove damaging because he consumes too Much Television and gripes to people outside the white house. Also, if you let him eat after midnight, he turns into a gremlin. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] a lot of things to keep straight. So while trump is tweeting and hitting the links, republican members of congress are in their home districts, dealing with constituents who are angry about trumps first month in office. Voters are especially angry about the gops plan to repeal obamacare. Even in deep red states like kentucky. Watch a constituent confront Senate Majority leader, mitch mcconnell, over the possibility that coal miners could lose their health insurance. Last i heard, these coal jobs are not coming back and now these people dont have the insurance they need because theyre poor and they worked those coal mines and they are sick, the veterans are sick, the veterans are broken down. Theyre not getting what they need. If you could answer any of that, ill sit down and shut up like Elizabeth Warren. [ audience oohs ] seth look at mitch mcconnell. [ light laughter ] even the memory of telling Elizabeth Warren to sit down brings a smile to his face. Oh, yeah, i feed off your anger. Yeah, your rage makes me smile. [ light laughter ] and its not just kentucky, louisiana for example senator, bill cassidy, tried to explain his opposition to obamacare but voters shouted him down, demanding that he answer their questions. Louisiana gops senator, bill cassidy, just wrapped up a very contentious town hall. In fact, cassidy was forced to abandon his Powerpoint Presentation on the republicans plan to replace obamacare when the angry crowd shouted him down and literally turned their backs on him. Seth to be fair, who hasnt wanted to turn their backs on a Powerpoint Presentation . [ light laughter ] today well be looking at Quarterly Sales goals. No no do it a different way [ applause ] voters in red states are even getting sassy with their senators at a town hall this week in iowa. For example, senator, chuck grassly, was offered a gift from a 62yearold democratic pig farmer named chris peterson, a bottle of tums. Peterson told grassly, youre going to need them over the next few years. Were all going to need tums as im pretty sure its the closest thing republicans haves for a replacement to obamacare. [ light laughter ] with tums and advil care you get to choose your own healthcare. Tums or advil. [ laughter ] but no one got more of an earful than arkansas senator, tom cotton, who faced down an auditorium full of hundreds of angry voters who spent hours grilling him. We are concerned because it appears that this administration is trampling our constitutional rights. [ cheers and applause ] i would like everyone who is affected by the Affordable Care act and affected by health care to stand up. [ cheers ] [ chanting ] tax returns. Tax returns. Tax returns. Seth yeah, show us the tax returns and also, dont you own an iron . [ laughter ] he looks like a kid in a school play whose performance was so bad, they called him back out on stage by himself so everyone could boo him. You suck tin man give that heart back in fact, gop town halls have gotten so rowdy that even just mentioning the name of the Vice President will earn you a deafening round of boos. As utah congressman, jason chaffetz, found out in his town hall earlier this month. Mike pence is like the most descent human being boo seth you got to give it to mike pence. Hes the only guy who could get booed at a Broadway Musical in manhattan, a town hall in utah, and a Minor League Baseball game in his home state of indiana. Indiana governor, mike pence. Boo boo [ bleep ]. Boo you suck [ laughter ] seth mike pence gets booed more than kids boo the witch in a puppet show. [ light laughter ] now, chaffetz spent the entire town hall dealing with constituents who are concerned about repealing obamacare and also, the general feeling of chaos and turmoil, on the trump administration. A feeling best summed up by this retired teacher. Im a retired teacher and i taught for 35 years in salt lake and i rarely had a discipline problem because i laid out my expectations very clearly, and i laid out the consequences. But once in a while at the beginning of the year after just two or three weeks, i could look at a kid and think, youre going to be a problem. Its been two or three weeks. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth i guess when you live in utah, the lake makes you salty. [ laughter ] by the way, its not just republicans who are facing town hall protests, moderate democrats are also preparing for protests at their own town halls from constituents demanding they stand up to trump. But rather than respond to those voters concerns, democrats are apparently asking Bernie Sanders for help. According to the washington post, democrats are asking sanders to reach out and urge activists to redirect their anger at republicans instead of at moderate democratic lawmakers. Its so sad how establishment democrats have to beg Bernie Sanders to calm down progressive activists. Like hes some kind of activists whisperer. [ light laughter ] although, hed be better at that than horse whisperer. Jump over the fence. Come on horsey. Dont be nervous. [ laughter ] look, trump and republicans in congress are facing a massive backlash over their plan to repeal obamacare because they have Nothing Better to offer. In fact, if you get sick right now, the republican prescription for you is basically just this. Good soup. [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with our friend Allison Williams, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] ill call you back. Is this my car . State farm knows that for every one of those moments. What . This is ridiculous theres one of these. Sam, i gotta go. Is this my car . What .

[ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back, everybody. Please give it up for the 8g band right over there. [ cheers and applause ] also, all this week weve been lucky enough to have the drummer who performs nightly at the Richard Rogers theatre on the broadway smash hamilton an american musical. And he recorded with the band phish on their brand new album, big boat. Andres forero, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Seth thank you so much so much for a fantastic week.

You can see her in the new film, get out, which opens in theaters everywhere tomorrow. Lets take a look. This is neilson and aleesa. Hey, how are you doing . So, how handsome is he . Are you handsome . I barely even okay. Oh. Not bad. Hey, neilson. So, is it true . Is it better . Oh, wow. Wow. Seth please welcome to the show Allison Williams, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth hi. Hi. Seth i want to talk about this incredible movie because it really is incredible thank you. Seth but i wanted to bring up a photo first, girls premiere. Girls premiere. You went to the girls premiere. I went to the girls premiere. Seth and here is a photo. Part of what they expect from me. Seth of course, and this is really great because its a picture of it says right here, Allison Williams. Thats you. Brian williams, thats your dad. Ricky van veen, your husband, but there is a problem. Yes, because thats my brother douglas williams. Seth okay. [ light laughter ] so again and this happens 100 of the time. Seth so and directly before this photo was taken, we all said in unison, this is doug williams, not ricky van veen. This is my brother, not my husband. And the photographers all said, thats not our job. [ light laughter ] seth now, i do want to, like, back them up because its not like its crazy. Okay. Seth because youre thats douglas. And moxie. Seth okay. I mean, come on. Look at that smile. [ audience aws ] seth but then, thats your husband. [ light laughter ] and for anybody whos like, thats the same dude, we have proof theyre different because heres a picture of them together. [ light laughter ] no, this is a face swap. Seth okay, thats a face swap . Yeah. [ light laughter ] but seth but its the same face. This is my brother with my husbands face seth okay. Which is slightly more tan. Seth yeah. Honestly, both of them look great. Seth yeah. This is my brothers face on rickys head seth got you. And my face just in awe and terror. [ light laughter ] seth that would be yeah. I think if that walked in you would have every right to say, i dont know which is which, you guys. I got to sort this out. Yes, this is really a problem. That could go really bad really quickly. But ricky loves it because he gets credit for doing like, he hates carpets. Seth oh, right. So he loves that he gets credit. Seth oh, so he doesnt have to walk the red carpet but then yeah, because he is walking the red carpet seth yeah. Just in my brothers body. Seth right . [ light laughter ] right, your brother is basically his standin. Thats really lovely. Yeah, its nice. We keep it in the family. Seth thats very nice. Yeah, we keep it tight. [ light laughter ] seth so this movie, first of all, i want to point out, 100 on rotten tomatoes. Yeah, and theres been 90something reviews. Seth thats awesome. Its really weird. Seth and its really great, and its a wow. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] and i just found out that we are officially certified fresh on rotten tomatoes. Seth oh, thats a big deal to be certified fresh. Just real honor for food or for a movie. Seth for a movie. [ light laughter ] yeah. Seth this is a its a horror movie. Yes. Seth its very there are parts that are very funny. Yeah. It talks about the issues of race in a way that ive never seen, not even just horror movies, but many movies talk about. Yeah. Seth have you been going to screenings. Have you watched audiences respond to it in real time . Yeah, i have, and it is one of the best moviegoing experiences ive ever had, aside even forget im in it because i have to to survive it. Sitting in the audience, its like there are cheers, people applaud, people yell things in unison at the screen. It is a very active audience environment, and its so much fun. In fact, the last screening i went to, i left to go to the bathroom. And i was waiting to come back in, and i knew it was in the movie based on what the audience was doing vocally. Seth oh, thats fantastic. Yeah, so i was able to time it. I was like, oh, that just happened. Okay, i can go back in now. Seth there are so many spoilers and twists in the film. Is it somewhat frustrating that it basically all you can tell an audience right now somewhat. Seth there are sounds the audience makes sounds when i go to the bathroom. Thats about all you can say about the plot. [ light laughter ] thats how i initially interpreted it. Seth yeah. No, its really hard to promote because i kind of basically what i can tell you is that it is similar to guess whos coming to dinner. Seth yeah. And i bring my black boyfriend home to meet my parents. Those in the clip were not my parents. Seth right. Just so you know. Seth right. That would be even weirder. That would be a shorter movie. Seth yeah. They announced themselves as being weird very quickly. Seth yeah. But, so i bring him home. Theyre liberal, nice. I figured its not important to tell them hes black, and i think theyre going to be fine with it. And then with time, they just seem to be doing things weirdly, like i predict that my dad say, i would have voted for obama a third time. Seth right. And he sure does. He tells him right away that he would have voted for obama a third time. [ light laughter ] seth yeah, pretty much everything in the first half hour is sort of a playoff what you would expect from this awkward situation of yeah. Seth then the next 90 minutes is nothing you could expect. Or talk about. Seth right, yeah, so there we go. [ light laughter ] were gonna stop. Based on that kind of moderately interesting premise, youre gonna have to take my word for it. Yeah. Seth something i dont have to take your word for is how excited i am for the last season of girls. Weve talked about it before. Im such a huge fan of the show. Im so sad its over. Thank you. Seth you, of course, have finished it. Were sort of still have eight episodes left. I know, and im can i just say im very concerned about your wife . Seth yeah, shes a big girls fan. Is she going to be okay . Seth probably not. I can just come over and sing without being invited or asked. Seth yeah, that would be great. [ light laughter ] if that would make her feel better. Seth i think the bummer is shell say, like, girls is over. What should we do . And ill say, baseball is starting. And shell be like, thats not what i want. [ light laughter ] yeah, dont do that. You need to come up with something else. Seth better, yeah, something a little bit better. Yeah, really. Seth so you know, obviously, the end of marnies story. Have you ever thought now that its over, have you thought where you saw marnie going once the show concluded . So i do i have a fantasy about it. I dont know how realistic it is, but im just gonna put it out into the universe now. Seth okay. Im telling you right now, its not realistic. Yeah, im sure it isnt. Seth i could just tell by the preface it yeah. Seth it does not sound like a realistic i have thought about it, and im not leah dunham, and i dont have her brain. Seth yeah, gotcha. Its no gonna happen. Seth well, were also talking about fictional characters, so right away. Thats true. Seth yeah. However, they seem very real to me. Seth thats true. To me as well. So my dream for marnie is that she will, after realizing that shes simply incompatible with any man that she would date seth uhhuh. Will decide in a mutually kind of resignation but happy decision to marry elijah seth great. Played by andrew rannells, who elijah is gay. Seth very gay on the show. And the seth the most gay you can be. The most gay you can be. Hes a ten. [ light laughter ] the nice thing about that idea of their union is that theyve already tried to have sex. It did not work. Seth right. Ill just say that. Seth yeah, its a very awkward sex scene. It was a very awkward sex scene. So they have that over with. And they dont need to explore that part of their relationship anymore. And they can kind of just exist in a house of, like, song and sass and snark. And they can have children that we kind of already know what theyre gonna look like because we are just shades of different white people. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] and and i also just think that they can do whatever they want outside of the marriage. Seth yeah. But as a committed couple, i think their mutual hatred and envy and love will keep them together. Seth hbo will pick up this show tomorrow. [ light laughter ] i wish they would for alexi. Seth for alexi, thank you. If only for alexi. Seth if only for my wife. Yeah. Seth thank you for being here. Congratulations on the show. Thank you. Seth congratulations on the movie.

Seth okay, and we just thought that were big fans of of making people drive us places. Seth yeah. And and we just thought it would be a fun sketch comedy show to to do it in the back of an uber, basically. Yeah, basically thats it. Seth and i you know, i told the story earlier this year of when i i took an uber to the hospital, my wife almost had the baby in the back of the uber. So is it sort of, stories like like those kind of everybody has a story. Its funny its exactly like that. Well, its funny you mention that, cause we were kind of inspired by your story, and we actually have an episode about someone giving birth in the back of a cab. Seth i think we have a clip of that. Lets take a look. Please dont go into labor. I couldnt, because im not pregnant. [ screaming ] okay, oh my god, please please dont. Oh, my god oh, my god did it come out . Did what come out . Is it crowning . Look, sir, im just going to the hospital on a date. Please dont mess up my seats, for real.

Yeah, and guys, you got to mix it up when you get into an uber or a lyft because theyre so bored. You know, they get the same questions all the time. How long have you been driving for uber . Who cares . Yeah. So, we figure, you get in and ask them stuff like hey, do you want to see a dead body . [ laughter ] seth gotcha. Ill left up my shirt and ill be like, is this eczema of a rash .

[ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Uh im all right. Im good. Seth yeah, youre good . I think so. Seth all right, good. I promise this will be great. All right. [ light laughter ] seth so, i want to ask, this book is fantastic. Thanks, man. Seth glowing reviews and so many of the reviews refer to it as a satire. Yeah. Seth but ive heard that satire is not a word you love to have your book described as. Yeah, i just kind of just write. You know, its im not trying to be funny necessarily. Its just how i think, and i dont know, the satire comes with a that label comes with a big burden, you know, the mark twain kind of seth sure. You have to be witty, you got to wear a seersucker suit all the time, so its just a [ laughter ] seth and i think youre right, satire feels very considered yeah. Seth as opposed to funny, which seems very natural. Yeah. Seth because you, obviously, youre fine with the book being funny, because absolutely. Seth yeah, and i would agree with you. I mean the funny parts to me were laugh out loud funny, as opposed to it strikes me and and ill move on to the next thing. This is a book about race relations, and it seems like probably that issue is why people want to call the funny parts of it, satire. Like theyre afraid to say what its seth maybe. Yeah. Seth but you youve said that you feel like race relations, people dont want they only want to talk about it retrospectively, as opposed to contemporary. So, what do you mean by that . I dont know, i think, you know, i think about like 12 years a slave and these other books and even visual art, its always about stuff thats in the 50s, and the 60s or, you know, antebellum kind of things, and just nothing is contemporary about stuff thats kind of problematic, thats difficult, you know . And its either funny. I mean, it its one of the things that i kind of liked about moonlight. Is it kind of just looked at these issues in a even though thats in flash back a little bit seth sure. But you know, at least its set in a modern contemporary setting, you know. Seth well, and i guess to some degree, when you see Something Like 12 years a slave, youre allowed as an audience to say, well, thank god its so improved. Yeah, yeah. Seth but you write about obviously, in a very contemporary way that forces people to look at it, and i think judge it as being what it is. But the interesting thing is that you wrote it, you know, it came out in 2015. Yeah. Seth i can only imagine how long it took you to write. Yeah. Seth the perspective of it, has changed so much in a trump administration. Has that been strange to you, how people nah, not really. Its interesting for me about like when things are timely, and when they arent, and who theyre timely for. And for me, its just im just writing. Its my version of how i see life, and you know, it took me five years to write the book. And i think often its not just writers of color, but when people write stuff thats difficult, i think people like its easy to pretend like, you know, just can you say [ bleep ] on television . Seth yeah, you can do it. [ laughter ] yeah, go for it. You know, i think like people just act like oh, i saw the election and i just pressed this button and [ bleep ] this book out. Seth right, right. And then so but, no, it took a long time and its [ laughter ] seth yeah, no, i think thats very fair. [ cheers and applause ] its not yeah. Seth having read it, i felt there was no [ bleep ] involved. Good. Seth i felt like there is some bull[ bleep ] involved. Seth yeah, theres a little bull[ bleep ], but yeah. Done very well. I want to ask, this i think, is a great service. You teach at colombia. I do. Seth and you teach writing. I do. Seth and on the first day, you told your students that you hate writing. Those were the first words out of my mouth, the very first class i taught. And i had some students actually come up after me and go, i cant you scared the [ bleep ] out of me. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] you know, when you said that, but you know, it was the first time id taught, and i didnt know what to tell em but, thats as close to a truism about writing for me that i have, and its its a difficult process, you know. Its hard. Language is tough and, you know, using the right words is so important to me, and yeah, its hard. You know, its hard to put your thoughts on paper. Its really hard. Seth but i think thats, i mean, a nice that is a great piece of wisdom to give, you know, aspiring writers. Is that this is going to be hard and that more often than not, and i feel this way too, you know, its great to finish writing, but actual writing sucks. Yeah, no. Its [ laughter ] there was a a friend of mine whose a very good writer and he puts these books out, like every two years he writes a great book. I dont know how he does it, but he he tells himself that hes a completionist, not a perfectionist. Seth uhhuh. Which is fine but i just i labor. And yeah, i dont think its easy for him, either, but seth well, everybody has their own process. And i will say, whatever your process is, it was very effective for this book. Thank you, man. Thanks. Seth i really enjoyed it, and congratulations on the accolades. And thanks for being here. Thanks, man. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] seth also, everyone in the audience tonight is getting a copy of the sellout to take home with you. Its fantastic. Well be right back.
