The Carmichael Show has proven otherwise and Jerrod Carmichael offered some insight on why that might be during his appearance on last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers.

In case you haven’t noticed, Michelle Wolf will be joining what is still a pretty stellar collection of Daily Show contributors.

Jessica Williams, Hasan Minhaj, Roy Wood Jr., Jordan Klepper, Ronnie Chieng, Desi Lydic, Al Madrigal, John Hodgman, Aasif Mandvi, and Adam Lowitt are the current members of the “best f#@king news team”, which is already pretty impressive.

Now they’ll be getting even better with the addition Wolf as a contributor and writer. She has been a highlight of Late Night with Seth Meyers with all of her segments and characters that have been featured throughout.

Whenever Wolf’s Daily Show debut is, be sure to catch it.

Last Week Tonight finally returns this Sunday on HBO, so host John Oliver stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Jimmy Fallon has already got reupped to host The Tonight Show until 2021 and, as announced at the TCA Press Winter Tour, Seth Meyers who follows him as host of Late Night will stick with him in the 12:35AM slot for the next five years.

Above all else, this move still keeps it all of NBC’s late night fare in the Lorne Michaels-SNL family well into the future.

While Star Wars: The Force Awakens is poised to break every box office record known to man this weekend, it is still legal, as Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have been saying, to see both Sisters and Star Wars in the same weekend.

To hit that point home, the entire cast of Sisters including Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch, and Maya Rudolph on top of Tina and Amy as well as writer Paula Pell went on Late Night with Seth Meyers and voiced various Star Wars action figures to say why you should go see Sisters.

Indeed, they do make a great case for seeing both.

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.

With Craig Ferguson no longer behind a late night talk show desk, Steven Wright won’t get to out-weird Craig while doing something like reading e-mails like he used to do all the time.

However, Wright is still willing to chat, perhaps in a less bit-based conversation, on late night and did so with Seth Meyers this week.

Watch Steven get into his comedic process as well as explaining what he exactly does on Louie with Louis C.K.

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,

Never one to shy away from commenting on how an interview is going in the middle of the interview, Colin Quinn has taken analyzing his televised conversations with talk show hosts to the next level.

While watch him with Meyers about trying to not be in Trainwreck, Amazon book commenters, and…

…being banned in Afghanistan would be all well and good and funny on its own, Colin added another layer to the whole thing.

Watch him do a talking point-by-talking point breakdown with Seth Meyers after the taping. We hope future guests at Late Night with Seth Meyers and elsewhere think about rating their performance along similar lines.
