Tiz the Grinch Holiday Talk Show
0:02
is pleased to have Purina as
0:04
our presenting sponsor. Purina, helping pets
0:06
live longer, healthier, happier lives. From
0:18
Wondery and Dr. Seuss,
0:21
broadcasting all the way from Mount
0:23
Crumpit Studios, which is literally a cave. Seriously,
0:25
like, the chance of a bat flying by
0:27
right now is 100%. Tiz
0:30
the Grinch Holiday Talk Show!
0:33
Tonight, he hosts his own
0:35
late-night show, so I guess
0:37
he's here to get some
0:40
expert tips. It's Seth Meyers
0:42
and the perkiest pup in
0:44
Whoville, Max the Dog! But
0:47
first, he has an anger that's
0:49
no match for management. Here he
0:51
is, the Green Grumbler. It's the
0:55
Grinch! Hey,
0:58
before we get into this, Cindy, uh, listen to
1:01
me. If you see a bat, whack
1:03
it with one of these various sticks and
1:05
clubs I have leaning against my cave wall.
1:07
Mr. Grinch! Those are good
1:09
eating, seriously. Little paprika, bake it
1:11
for like 15 minutes at 400. Double, uh. Delicious.
1:15
Get it! Grab it, Cindy! Grab it! Oh,
1:18
I would rather not. Ah! There
1:20
goes dinner. All right, now, this
1:22
is actually good. I'm getting ready to go on a rant, and
1:26
I'm already worked up. Hold
1:28
on to your seats, keep on your
1:30
pants, the Grinch is going on one
1:32
of his rants. My
1:35
question is, why are we so accepting
1:37
of Santa Claus's ways? He
1:40
has an entire North Pole shop full
1:42
of people who, let's be
1:44
honest, kind of look like Hoos just a little
1:47
bit. And then he flies around the
1:49
world entering people's homes through
1:51
the chimney. It's basically
1:53
breaking and entering, right? That's
1:56
not good. You want gifts? Give them
1:58
to each other yourself. You
2:01
don't need an elderly elf breaking into
2:03
your house and leaving you an air
2:05
fryer or one of those four foot
2:07
tall doll houses that opens like pharaohs
2:09
too. Also imagine
2:12
the damage he's doing to roofs all
2:14
over town. His weight plus the weight
2:16
of his sleigh and then he got
2:18
the twelve unruly reindeer clip clapping around
2:21
on your roof. And that's
2:23
all before you add in the weight
2:25
of all the junkies lugging around. I
2:27
mean say some junior John Cena asked
2:29
for a dumbbell set or a bench
2:31
press for Christmas. Add that all up
2:34
and that's like thousands
2:36
of pounds of Christmas chaos landing
2:38
on the roof of your house
2:40
in the middle of December. You
2:43
know how icy and snowy and
2:45
dark it must be up there?
2:47
Somebody can flip and fall. It's
2:49
a yuletide liability nightmare and then
2:51
we're supposed to leave cookies out
2:53
for this home invader. Why don't
2:55
we just draw a bath for
2:57
him too? Here get in the bed.
2:59
Yeah I just cleaned the sheets. Slide right
3:01
on in there. I'll take the couch.
3:04
No it's cool. We'll sleep on the
3:06
floor. Yeah go ahead. Don't
3:08
even take off your dirty boots. Just
3:10
get into my nice bed. Where
3:13
does it end? Anyway Merry
3:15
Christmas blah blah blah. Now
3:17
let's open another door in the advent
3:19
calendar huh? That was
3:21
the saddest Merry Christmas I've ever heard.
3:24
Well you know what nothing makes people sadder than
3:26
Christmas ending. You should really explore where that came
3:28
from someday. God. I
3:31
shouldn't have said anything. Here
3:33
it is seven feet tall. I made
3:36
it myself. It's the official grandchild advent
3:38
calendar. Let's
3:40
see what's behind the door
3:42
number nine. Will
3:46
ya look at that. One bad
3:48
bulb from spoil brothers. One bad bulb is
3:50
all it takes to ruin an entire string
3:52
of Christmas lights. So wherever you see eye
3:54
piercingly bright holiday spirit in the form of
3:57
annoying lights snuff it out by
3:59
plugging in. That's right, one bad
4:01
bulb! Available in variety
4:03
packs of six, from colored to white,
4:05
large to small, blinking to non-blinking, spoiled
4:08
a bunch with one rotten apple, and
4:10
perhaps for just one night, enjoy some
4:12
nice, sweet darkness. That's one bad bulb
4:14
for the makers of Mistletoe! It's a
4:17
miniature foam missile you launch at people
4:19
kissing under the mistletoe. Because who needs
4:21
to see that? Yuck! Hey,
4:27
it's James Austin Johnson and I play
4:29
The Grinch, here on Tis the Grinch
4:31
holiday talk show. The holidays are
4:33
here! It's such a fun
4:35
and festive time, and also a
4:38
great opportunity to reflect on all
4:40
the things we're thankful for. Family,
4:43
friends, food, when you meet up
4:45
with your family and friends to eat
4:47
food. Okay, I think I'm maybe
4:50
just hungry right now. Oh, and
4:52
there's one other very important thing
4:54
that tops the list every year.
4:56

sponsor Purina, is dedicated to creating richer
5:00

to learn more. You're
5:38
a mean one, Mr.
5:40
Grinch. You
5:43
really are a
5:45
heel. You're
5:47
as cuddly as a cactus. You're as
5:49
charming as an eel. Mr.
5:52
Grinch. You're
5:55
a bad banana. Gracie,
5:58
Blur. I
6:05
have to say, I'm really
6:07
getting ahead of this gift-giving
6:09
Michigosh. Now, what I can't
6:11
wrap my green head around
6:13
is holiday parties. It's
6:16
the most annoying
6:18
time of the
6:20
year! Whoo! Boy,
6:23
like the flu or the
6:25
common cold, these festive free-for-alls
6:27
are just inescapable. I mean,
6:29
check your mailboxes, check your
6:31
email inboxes, check your texts,
6:33
DMs, your InstaBox, your Snapchatter
6:35
machine, your Tiktak alerts, whatever have you,
6:38
because you are getting invited to these
6:40
holiday parties, whether you like it or
6:42
not, and you're going to be making
6:44
the mistake of actually going to some
6:46
of these things, and it's going to
6:48
be awkward people standing around holding cups,
6:50
looking at cheese, a
6:53
Carl Cacopini of Christmas music playing in the
6:55
background, and sometimes it can be hard to
6:57
meet or talk to new people, but not
6:59
for me. Not for me! I
7:01
know just the perfect way to
7:03
start and end conversations at the
7:05
same time. You can too! With
7:09
these Grinch Holiday Party Icebreakers!
7:12
Grinch Holiday Party
7:14
Icebreakers! Oh,
7:16
and an icebreaker means, well,
7:19
you know, that weird coldness that
7:22
exists between you and a stranger
7:24
just sitting there like a
7:26
huge flock of ice. Well, we'll picture
7:28
these as giant axes that cut
7:31
through that conversational ice, at least
7:33
temporarily. Okay, let me set
7:35
the seeds. So there you are, you're holding a
7:37
cup of punch, trying to figure out what kind
7:40
of stew they're serving. You're at a holiday party
7:42
and you're wondering, who are these people? What
7:44
do I say to them to break the ice? Well,
7:46
here now are a few surefire ways to help
7:49
you break the ice. Let's
7:51
start with an easy one that anyone can use.
7:54
Try pointing at someone's mouth and asking, what's
7:56
that thing on your lip? Before
7:59
they can ask. answer that run up to the bathroom for a
8:01
look in the mirror. They will then avoid you for
8:03
the rest of the party. One down. Moving
8:06
on, here's another can't miss icebreaker.
8:08
This is more of a conversation
8:10
killer. Just mosey on up to
8:12
someone like, hello, care to talk
8:14
about the latest anti-fungal foot powders?
8:17
If they do, well then, you found a
8:19
friend. But chances are, they'll leave
8:22
you right where you're standing. Now,
8:24
I thought this last one was a good one, but
8:26
I tried at a party last night and, you know,
8:28
here's how it went. Hello!
8:31
I rarely bathe and I need
8:33
a place to stay for the next, ah, three
8:35
months. Oh, that's okay. You can stay
8:37
in our guest room. It's no problem
8:39
at all. We'd love to have you.
8:42
You, you would? Really?
8:44
Really. It is no trouble at
8:47
all. But I, I'm absurdly, surly.
8:49
And everything I say, I, I
8:51
say it curtly and sternly. Do
8:54
not be so hard on yourself. We love
8:56
having guests. No,
8:58
oh no no no no no no. This can't be happening. March,
9:02
March, let's. Alright. So
9:04
now. Remember
9:07
your breathing, Rachel. Ah, ah, ah, ah,
9:09
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
9:11
ah, ah. There we
9:14
go. All right, that was a close one. Let's
9:16
go rap and fire now. Here
9:18
we go. You look familiar. Aren't you
9:21
that kid from TikTok who skateboarded into a
9:23
police horse then got kicked into an open sewer?
9:25
Hi, I celebrate Hanukkah. Would you like to hear
9:27
all the different ways people spell the word Hanukkah?
9:29
Hey, great party. Do you know what
9:32
would make it even better? If we gotta jump
9:34
on our homework? Hello, is
9:36
it pop culture fascinating? Would you like
9:38
to read my 500 page manifesto on
9:40
why Shawn Mendes' song about Camila Cabello
9:42
is really about the climate crisis? Hi,
9:45
I know a fun activity. What if everyone
9:47
listened to me list all 300 of
9:49
the different shades of pink used in
9:51
the Barbie movie from ballet slipper all
9:53
the way to watermelon. Boom.
9:57
Nothing taps down a momentary.
10:00
moment of weakness like some
10:02
rapid-fire rudeness. So there
10:04
you have it, some genuine holiday
10:07
party icebreakers. You know,
10:09
Mr. Grinch, holiday parties aren't so bad.
10:11
They could actually be quite fun
10:13
if you give them a try and just let loose.
10:16
Let loose? That's your advice. Nobody
10:18
wants the Grinch to let loose.
10:21
It's completely off-brand for me. But,
10:24
uh, you know, I'll take your note
10:26
under advisement when I talk to my
10:28
guest tonight. Well, how are you, sweetie?
10:30
We're getting good at this. Just in
10:32
time for the second to
10:34
last episode of the season. Oh well.
10:37
Take it away, Mr. Grinch. My guest
10:39
tonight is very charismatic and
10:42
handsome. And he
10:44
hosts an award-winning late-night show with
10:46
lots of celebrity guests. It's me!
10:49
No, I'm sorry I read that wrong. Cindy,
10:51
your handwriting looks like a child. Okay, now
10:53
I see it. Please welcome Seth Meyers! Hi,
10:55
Seth. How you doing? It's wonderful to be
10:57
here with you, Grinch. Thank you. Isn't
11:00
that great to be on my podcast? Is
11:02
it Grinch or The Grinch? What is your
11:04
preferred term of address? You can call me
11:06
Grinch, but I really prefer The Grinch. Alright,
11:08
well, I want to make you as comfortable
11:10
as possible. The Grinch, it is an honor
11:12
to be here. Actually, just Grinch.
11:15
Got it. Grinch, it's a delight to be here.
11:17
Nah, I'm not liking that one. I think we're
11:19
going to go back to The Grinch for you.
11:21
The Grinch, what an honor. Yeah, now, the elephant
11:23
in the room is screaming right now, so let's
11:26
just say what everyone's thinking. I've had my talk
11:28
show for two months, and I invite you on.
11:30
You've had your talk show for like
11:32
ten years. No invite. What's the deal,
11:34
man? Well, I have to be honest,
11:37
until I saw you had a podcast,
11:39
I thought you were sort of famously
11:41
media shy. Okay, that's fair. So,
11:44
the fact that you're out in the open now
11:46
is very exciting for not just me, but anybody
11:48
with a talk show. It's a community thing. I'm
11:50
doing it for the community. Have you ever left
11:52
your cave and not committed a crime? Can you
11:54
wait like two and a half hours until we're
11:56
really deep into this interview? Sure. And as a
11:58
reminder, I told your producers I only have seven
12:01
hours. Okay. You're great. I'm
12:03
a big fan of you. Thank you.
12:05
But I'm not a big fan of late night,
12:08
just kind of like as a concept. As a
12:10
format? I just like to shut it down early.
12:12
Yeah. A lot of people, I think,
12:14
watch maybe in the morning on YouTube with a
12:16
cup of coffee, you could try that. I like
12:18
to watch Good Morning America at like 5 p.m.
12:21
Is that weird? You tape it? Yeah, I tape it
12:23
and I watch it later. Huh. You
12:25
know what? I'm just gonna get over the whole not being invited
12:27
on late night thing and try to move on to my next
12:29
point. I do like your, I don't
12:31
want you to get it twisted. I like
12:34
the segment Daydream. Yeah. Which
12:36
I assume is not for kids, just adults
12:38
going through a crisis. Yeah, I
12:40
know exactly. You did one with Rihanna, right?
12:42
I did, yes. I think that one went
12:44
viral, but you know, if you really wanna
12:46
go viral, you should have them drink room
12:48
temp eggnog. Maybe that would make it go
12:50
bacterial actually, now that I think about it.
12:52
Yeah, ideally they don't end in an ER.
12:55
No, you don't wanna do that, but I do like
12:57
eggnog. I've been known to get into a
12:59
big hot tub of eggnog. Do you make your own? Do
13:02
you have your own recipe? I have a recipe that I've
13:04
been using for a long time and it's based on the
13:06
redrum and one. And I've kind
13:08
of jeered it up. Do you know how to
13:10
spell jeers? You know what? The minute you said
13:12
jeers, I was worried you were gonna ask me
13:14
to spell it. All right, the other night, I'm
13:16
watching Carson, right? Carson Daly? No, the other one,
13:18
the blonde one who teaches you how to put
13:20
on a suit. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
13:22
Kressley. Kressley, he's on HGTV all the time now.
13:24
I'm a big basic cable guy. He said jeers
13:26
and I'm looking at the subtitles and you know
13:28
what they put on the bottom? What did
13:30
they put on the bottom? Speaking in non-English.
13:32
Now that. What am I supposed to do
13:35
with that? That is the most English of
13:37
words. Jeers? I wouldn't wanna see
13:39
it in my New York Times crossword. Do people
13:41
actually do that crossword every day? I don't have
13:43
the time. What do you do with your time?
13:45
I peel bananas and I don't eat the fruit.
13:48
I go over all my spreadsheets, which are just
13:50
lists of different garbage items I've collected. Okay. I
13:53
have to, well, I harass people.
13:56
Because I, you know, the thing about you
13:58
is it seems like The sounds of Christmas
14:01
you find very distracting. I hate the
14:03
noise. You don't like the noise, but
14:05
then I guess I'm questioning whether or
14:07
not you're actually doing anything so important.
14:09
Not doing important work. What about the
14:11
service that I'm providing to the community by
14:13
doing what a judge told me to do?
14:15
That's straight from my heart. I get it
14:18
now. I get that you wouldn't want to
14:20
hear who's celebrating Christmas while you're trying to
14:22
do a podcast. For example, I had to
14:24
move where I did today is because there
14:26
was construction in the apartment below me. So
14:28
as a podcaster, I understand why you would
14:30
hate the sounds of Christmas, but have you
14:32
had any grays among the green? I wouldn't
14:34
even call them grays. They're transparent. Oh,
14:37
cause I was wondering what happens to green
14:39
when green ages. It definitely loses that vertigo
14:41
that you're talking about. Yeah, if it gets
14:43
see-through, does that mean that as a Grinch
14:45
ages to a certain point, they become invisible?
14:48
Well, I don't know if you've piqued on
14:50
the Wikipedia about polar bears before, but they
14:52
also have transparent for their hairs are transparent.
14:54
So should we be less concerned about what's
14:57
happening with the polar bears? Because I feel
14:59
like there's a real threat of extinction, but
15:01
maybe they're just aging to a place where
15:03
we're not seeing them. You're looking at all
15:06
these polar bears. It's like, they're not disappearing.
15:08
They're just stressed out. Yeah. These
15:10
guys used to be blond. They're probably stressed out because
15:12
you're writing all these articles about how they're going to
15:14
go extinct. Can't you let them drink
15:16
their Coke bottles with a winking Santa?
15:18
Now, wait, you know, as we're talking
15:21
about this, again, you are, and I'm
15:23
not just blowing smoke. You are iconic.
15:25
Definitely iconic, yeah. Everybody across this globe
15:27
knows you. And yet you have managed
15:29
to avoid doing any sort
15:31
of product endorsement. You know,
15:34
my relationship with the commercial world
15:36
is a strained one. I got burned pretty
15:38
bad with the Tickle Me Grinch back in
15:40
the late 90s. I really
15:42
thought that merchandising is going to be a big moment for
15:45
me. You know, I saw what happened with the Foreman grill.
15:47
Yeah. And I said, you know, where's
15:49
my thing? I feel like everybody who was big in the
15:51
90s must just wake up
15:53
every morning and say, where was my
15:55
Foreman grill? Where's the Seth Meyers waffle
15:57
maker? I know. I'm waiting. have
16:00
one. Not for lack of trying Grinch. Not for
16:02
lack of trying. You show up, you throw all
16:04
your cred in the trash, and you cash the
16:06
check. Yeah. And you're the waffle guy. And then
16:09
you're just the waffle guy. You know, I'm good
16:11
friends with the rapper Future and he said, chase
16:13
a check. He says that a lot. You have
16:15
so many friends, which is really lovely. It's sort
16:17
of a motley crew. It's a rogues gallery. I
16:20
do feel like you might take this the wrong
16:22
way. I love taking things the wrong way. It
16:24
strikes me that you, and again I feel like
16:26
maybe I've just flayed it out based on how
16:28
much you just like Christmas. But yeah, I
16:30
thought you hated everyone. I thought you hated
16:33
people. It's a common misconception. I don't hate
16:35
people. I hate the things that they do,
16:37
the ways that they are, the things they
16:40
think, and the people
16:42
they be. Yeah. But it's
16:44
mostly around the Christmas related holidays. I
16:46
do hate those holidays that pop up
16:48
on social media like, it's National Pancake
16:50
Day. Yeah. Today's Pancake Day. No it's
16:53
not. When did Calvin Coolidge bang a
16:55
gavel and say it's National Talk Like
16:57
a Pirate Day? You know who those
16:59
are very helpful for though? People
17:01
with no personalities. Monologue writers. Oh
17:04
seasonality. Yeah, monologue joke writers. When the
17:07
news is very dire and you are
17:09
reading through the front eight pages and
17:11
it's just nothing but the worst of
17:13
the human condition, you're real
17:15
excited when it's National Open Toed Sandals Day.
17:18
That's the only way I can live.
17:20
Did you know that? I can really
17:22
only live the open toed lifestyle. Yeah, that
17:24
makes sense to me. Well moving on.
17:26
By the way, you're very good at
17:28
that. Moving on, not a lot of new
17:30
hosts know how to use that so
17:32
deftly. You host your show from 30
17:34
Rockefeller Plaza, which is basically the Mount Prumpet
17:37
of Manhattan. Do you ever stare out
17:39
the window and look on at all the
17:41
little people and think, I'm so much
17:43
more important than all of you? I
17:45
can look out my window at the Rockefeller
17:47
ice skating rink while people skate around in
17:50
circles and let me stress how poorly they
17:52
ice skate. I feel like at least half
17:54
the rink at any given time is first
17:56
time ice skaters and how small they look
17:59
from my life. window does make me feel
18:01
bigger. Well, it has to, right? I mean,
18:03
they look like ants. Also, this is a
18:05
thing, and I don't know if this was
18:07
around when you were a kid, Grinch. There's
18:09
now these, like, walkers. Yeah. If
18:11
you can picture sort of an ice walker, like,
18:13
sort of the walker a grandmother would have. They
18:15
have those now on ice skating rink. Yeah, they
18:18
got little slides on the bottom, like, little Adidas
18:20
slides on the bottom. And I don't want to
18:22
begrudge anyone the experience of skating, so, you know,
18:24
I realize there are people that aren't gonna get
18:26
on the rink without it, but that's not skating.
18:29
Yeah, it's like having the bumpers up at
18:31
Cosmic Bowling. Yeah. It's like,
18:33
I don't care about your strike,
18:35
because you're playing pinball. Exactly. Now,
18:37
you'll understand this as a fellow
18:39
talk show host. I'm sure you've had
18:41
to sign some bad contracts, but
18:43
there's a provision in mind that
18:45
says every episode I have to ask
18:48
a stupid question like this, so,
18:50
here we go. What does Christmas
18:52
Day look like in the Meyers'
18:54
house? What does Christmas Day look like in
18:56
the Meyers' household? Yeah. Well, I've
18:58
got three children. They are seven, five,
19:00
and two. That is just a perfect,
19:02
sweet spot of Christmas morning. And
19:05
they will roll downstairs in matching pajamas,
19:07
matching not just to one another, but
19:09
to my wife and I. This is
19:11
for photo opportunities. It is very important
19:13
to grab moments like these. I know
19:15
you're talking about Christmas, but that does
19:17
sound really nice. To have, you know,
19:19
other people there. Gosh, I'm really having
19:21
them looking in the mirror at 3
19:23
a.m. moment right now. And there's a
19:25
moment, not to interrupt your thought, Grinch. Let
19:29
me do it a little bit longer. But
19:31
sometimes I'll look at my son, and then
19:33
I look at my father, and I realize
19:35
it's three generations. You just get everybody together.
19:37
You got everybody there. You got the seven
19:39
and the five and the two. And everybody's
19:42
dressed in the same pajamas, even though everybody's
19:44
different sizes. Yeah. Uh-huh.
19:47
No, it's not gonna happen. You're not gonna
19:49
make the heart swell, Seth. I've done like
19:51
10 of these, okay? And I'm not gonna
19:53
let it happen with a late night host.
19:56
I'm sorry. It's just not going to happen.
19:58
Maybe with my GMA crew. Right. 5
20:00
p.m. I'm gonna watch later at 5 p.m. I'm
20:02
gonna watch the whole thing all like seven hours
20:05
of it I know this is audio only but
20:07
I can see right now and I did see
20:09
a little flutter under the old shirt as the
20:11
heart I feel like it almost
20:13
but I don't know I'll take you at
20:16
your word. Let me ask you one more
20:18
question Does the youngest one ever
20:20
give a present to the oldest person
20:22
in the room? I will only say
20:24
that the Seven-year-old gave the youngest one
20:26
a present last year and it's the
20:28
first time she ever said the word
20:31
hug She opened her arms and said
20:33
hug She said hug to the seven-year-old
20:35
Yeah No
20:38
stop get down get out get back
20:41
Hold my hands up. All right. I'm here.
20:43
Hold my hand virtually. I'm here Grinch I
20:45
know it's a zoom, but just type the
20:48
word hand in the chat, you know The
20:52
seven-year-old and five-year-old walk to school together and they
20:54
hold hands on the way They hold
20:56
hands I walk a
20:58
little bit behind them so I can see it How
21:10
you doing Grinch you okay, I feel
21:12
like watching your heart sort of go through that
21:14
I can't imagine it's healthy dude, it's not okay
21:18
Uh, let's see last question, you know one
21:20
thing you and I have in common is
21:22
that a lot of people incorrectly think we're
21:24
Jewish Yes, I mean for me they think
21:26
i'm whoish. Would you like to do a
21:28
quick Hanukkah shout out since we're here? Yeah,
21:30
I would just say to everybody even though
21:32
i'm not jewish I do have a jewish
21:34
wife and jewish children and a Hanukkah is
21:36
very lovely There is a nice ritual to
21:39
it that christmas Relax, and I think
21:41
over the course of eight days and no matter
21:43
how dumb your kids are You can kind of
21:45
get it through their thick skulls Yeah, I feel
21:47
like you know, you can tell them while they're
21:49
ripping open presents on christmas that this isn't really
21:52
about capitalism But I feel like they don't really
21:54
buy it. Yeah, they would need seven more days
21:56
with that message Now they gave me your plugs.
21:58
So I gotta read these Okay, so late
22:00
night with Seth Mike don't do it like that
22:02
by the way what you know I know I've
22:05
tipped my cap to some of your hosting acumen
22:07
You don't just say they gave me your plugs
22:09
you make them feel you know
22:11
authentic natural organic Well, you had the
22:14
benefit of a live audience. I mean
22:16
you and I are just having an
22:18
intimate conversation Yeah, you saw me convulse
22:21
and go through a cardiac event Yeah,
22:23
you just kind of stood there going
22:25
like Grinch. Okay. Yeah instead of grabbing
22:27
a defibrillator Like a normal
22:29
person and we had a nice
22:31
discussion about the beauty of different
22:34
Judeo-Christian holiday traditions Just get to
22:36
the plugs late night with Seth
22:38
Myers airs weeknights at 1235 on
22:41
NBC. It also streams on peacock Oh, that's good.
22:43
Yeah, we've seen a huge bump because it also
22:45
streams on peacock. I like peacock I can't tell
22:47
you how often I walked down the street today
22:49
and people will say, you know I never saw
22:52
your show but now that it's streaming on peacock
22:54
big fan You know if you went over to
22:56
prime, I think you've gone bananas You
22:58
got to think about that. You might want to take
23:01
another look at that contract there Family trips
23:03
with the Myers Brothers is available wherever you
23:05
get your podcast. I have a podcast. Did
23:07
you know that? Yeah, you can go to
23:09
Seth Myers calm for Seth upcoming standup dates
23:12
Seth. Give us a taste Comedians
23:14
love this. I know a lot of comedians
23:16
Give us a taste is actually a little
23:19
bit better than my least favorite question
23:21
when you do press for standup and
23:23
they say what? Can your audience expect
23:25
I can your audience expect probably some
23:27
stand-up doing local press for stand-up shows?
23:30
Not my favorite thing Boy
23:34
three in the morning. I we got a sono
23:36
funny man Seth Myers was in studio today
23:38
Seth What could the audience expect? Everything
23:40
about that was great including the fact that I've
23:43
been gone for over a decade and people say
23:45
F&L funny man People still say that raise SNL
23:47
funny man like it's in the Constitution or something.
23:49
No, I don't have it in front of me
23:51
Did you overlap with data carby? Were you there
23:53
at the same time as John Belushi? What was
23:55
it? It
23:57
feels good to laugh with my best friend It
24:00
does. Seth, thank you so much for coming on this
24:02
show. You know what, Grinch? It was everything I
24:04
wanted it to be. I really, I appreciate it.
24:06
You are such a peat. And I don't want
24:08
to tell you how to live your life, but
24:10
that whole matching pajama look, it's cute for the
24:12
morning. But don't expect that you're not going to
24:14
get some funny looks at Cracker Barrel, if y'all.
24:16
That's fair. Troop there in the matching outfits. People
24:18
are going to think you're some kind of family
24:20
band. I can take constructive criticism when it's delivered
24:22
with kindness like that. Well, love you, Seth. Love
24:24
you, Grinch. Keep on trucking. You do the same.
24:26
It's great to have you in the host field.
24:29
Good to have a little diversity. I
24:31
smell steak for six. Seth
24:36
Meyers, everybody. That's coming
24:38
for that guy's time slot. No, I'm serious
24:40
right now. I like Seth Meyers. I think
24:42
he's an excellent show host. But it's a
24:45
competitive band. And I got to look out
24:47
for me. How the Grinch stole late night.
24:49
How the Grinch stole late night. I like
24:51
that. But it was so nice of Seth
24:54
to stop by, especially at such a terrible
24:56
time of year, right before Christmas.
24:58
Thank you, Seth. Ugh, see
25:00
if the Emmy's or not, since you
25:02
won't be in consideration. Sandy, rattle off
25:05
the nerds. You
25:14
have hermites in your
25:17
pile. You
25:19
have old and sweetness in
