Jerry Seinfeld Tells Seth Meyers He Wants a Little Less Political Correctness and Set Up in Talk Show Interviews
On last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jerry Seinfeld wasted no time in getting to pulling back the curtain on how talk show interviews are set up and his subsequent distaste for pre-interviews/artificial conversation.
He does give props to Meyers for not having notes visible on his desk.
Then, he moved on to commenting on political correctness and how he has found that it has gone too far .
Jerry makes solid points on both counts and will inevitably have people/the Internet endlessly debate and further entrench themselves in whatever side they take.
Whether you agree or disagree, it won’t keep from Jerry from joking about what he wants and avoiding talking to producers before he goes on late night talks shows.

Amy Schumer Deftly Satirized Late Night Talk Show Interviews of Women
As you saw with Tina Fey and the last fancy dress she’ll ever wear on Letterman, many women that make an appearance on a late night talk show go through a bunch of hoops, specifically in regards to their looks and what they’re wearing, in order to promote their movie, tv show, etc.
Inside Amy Schumer’s latest sketch summarizes the phenomenon with a little NSFW exaggeration pretty well.
Also, seeing Bill Hader as late night talk show host caricature is pretty great too.
