John Mulaney and Nick Kroll are keeping some of The Kroll Show’s most enduring characters, George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon, going, which is really a pretty great gift to us all. 

Not only do they have an acclaimed off-Broadway show “Oh Hello” running at The Cherry Lane Theatre, but they made probably one of the most memorable late night appearances this year.

Fully in costume and character, St. Geegland and Faizon chatted with Seth Meyers on Late Night and Meyers could barely keep a straight face through the whole conversation. 

For those of us unable to see Oh, Hello, for now, this is the next best thing.

As you might be aware of, stand-up across the landscape of late night has become scarce over the last couple of years. 

Knowing that, it’s encouraging to see it pop up wherever it pops up and even more so when someone like NYC’s Jacqueline Novak is the one that gets to take the mic and perform.

Such was the case this week when the Jacqueline got to do a set on The Late Late Show with James Corden, which has only featured a handful of stand-ups at this point.

Sean is an increasingly rare breed of comedian that attacks with his jokes relentlessly on stage, all while laughing and smiling the whole way through. His rambunctious persona is infectious whether it be his material, crowd work, or riffing and his late night appearance, album and special should all prove that to any and all.

After watching this, you’ll wish that Michelle conducted all your interviews.

Michelle Wolf is one of the best parts of Late Night with Seth Meyers and you can see her live up to that in her new web series over at Comedy Central, Now Hiring with Michelle Wolf.

Basically, Michelle tries to interview people for a tech company in an unorthodox, perhaps unprecedented way.

Just like his show Nathan For You, Nathan Fielder is the sly and subtle trickster that so many people have come to know and love when chatting with late night talk show hosts.

His appearance on last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers is a perfect example as Nathan shared a “gift” as well as his “Italian fantasy vacation” with Seth.

This week, Craig Ferguson sat down with Seth Meyers to promote his latest comedy special Just Being Honest and made his first late night appearance since he stepped down from The Late Late Show.

While being on the other side of the desk, Ferguson chatted with Meyers about missing out on Trump, but not missing the job of a late night host as a whole.

They did a post mortem for the interview and gave more insight to the subtleties of hosting a talk show in late night including their preferences on the cards they throughout the show.

From watching this, we wondered if Ferguson would do another talk show if it was weekly and he could interview whomever he wanted,

Bob Odenkirk would never leave a TV appearance hanging without a bit. 

So, when Jimmy Kimmel asked him to play a made-up fun game that’s really popular on talk shows these days, Bob decided that’s not going to fly with him. It’s almost like he’s poking fun of another late night host who does a bunch of games whose name is also Jimmy.
