first Emmy nomination for “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in the Outstanding Variety Talk Series category, host Seth Meyers sat down with TheWrap for our inaugural video AMA to answer fan-submitted questions about everything from “SNL” memories to his favorite soup. Indeed, we relayed a diverse range of questions to Meyers that fully embodied the spirit of “Ask Me Anything,” and unsurprisingly the “Late Night” host was more than game to answer.“I know you’re supposed to say you’re not excited about these things because they don’t matter, but I was deeply excited by the Emmy nomination,” Meyers said with a chuckle when asked how he was feeling about the show’s Emmy nomination for Variety Talk Series.This is the first nomination for “Late Night” in the category since Meyers’ show began in 2014, although the show has previously received four nominations in the Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series category (and Meyers himself is also nominated this year for Outstanding Short Form Comedy alongside executive producer Mike Shoemaker for the YouTube exclusive “Corrections”).Much has been written about the evolution of “Late Night” during the pandemic, in which the show shifted into a more loose and surprisingly serialized form with Meyers interacting directly with the show’s fans via YouTube comments.
Seth Meyers Celebrates Abortion Rights Win in Kansas: ‘Brett Kavanaugh Is Angrily Chugging a Coors Light Tall Boy’ (Video)
04.08.2022 - 18:43 / thewrap.com
Seth Meyers returned to studio on Wednesday night after recovering from a second bout of COVID-19 – or as he joked, the virus’ “Season 2 pick-up” – and, beyond his return, he celebrated Kansas’ big win on abortion rights. Of course, Meyers also celebrated how angry it probably made Justice Brett Kavanaugh.On Tuesday night, voters in Kansas overwhelmingly rejected the idea of removing a woman’s right to an abortion from the state constitution, showing up in record highs and voting against a measure that would do just that.
Meyers took particular delight in imagining reactions from conservatives.“Wow, somewhere right now, Brett Kavanaugh is angrily chugging a Coors Light tall boy with PJ and Squee,” Meyers joked. “[I’m] sure he’s making that face, you know? He really manages to look incredibly angry and incredibly goofy at the same time.
Like a chihuahua who just saw the mailman.”Jokes aside, he noted how promising the results in Kansas were on a larger scale, perhaps fueling optimism nationwide.“It’s especially encouraging given that anti-abortion activists used every shady tactic they could think of and still lost,” Meyers continued. “For example, the wording of the ballot question was intentionally designed to be as confusing as possible.”The late night host then called up that wording, which was as follows: “Because Kansans value both women and children, the constitution of the state of Kansas does not require government funding of abortion and does not create or secure a right to abortion.
