Ever since Seth and team came back to the studio and just started throwing things at the wall for their own amusement, this show elevated into its own playing field. Great work all
They really started pushing the boundaries during covid and people kept watching. Notice how he's kept the casual clothing too. This is the best late night show imo.
It was during the Reagan administration, so there you go. And then Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine, which allowed Fox to produce a “News” channel that is 99% Republican propaganda. “One hand washes the other”
The key to changing everything from the ground up is the 14-minute 1942 US Department of Agriculture film, *Hemp for Victory.* The film was banned from public viewing for 45 years after World War II to turn our country into what we have today. Our government uses our tax dollars to wage war against us over the same Cannabis plant that saved us in World War II. That's why everything is so backwards. That's why the world is not the way that it is supposed to be. And no one on television or online will point this out to everyone. There is an official US Federal government link to *Hemp for Victory* on every cellphone from the US National Archives. The film became public in 1990.
@@Marijuanifornia Marijuana being illegal was wrong yeah. But it seems a far stretch to say the way the country has panned out since is basically due to marijuana being wrongfully illegal. Kinda sounds like something someone lit with marijuana would say while looking at a beautiful nug of bud 😆 But if you follow my line of reasoning for an extra step, I'll further expand on another very specific problem that has already happened to the country. And I'm totally open to any problems that genuinely go even further than this, But I don't believe there are, because the buck appears to stop at this problem.. Corporate takeover. I implore anyone to Google the wealth gap chart/stats, and the income inequality chart/stats, And you'll see around the 80s was when a massive split between middle class (majority of normal families and citizens) and rich/wealthy started to increase and multiply. So now, what should be the majority of citizens, living a healthy quality of life with a comfortable income, are now actually fighting paycheck to paycheck. Working their lives away. Dramatically reducing family time together, the values, mental well being, support, health, everything that comes with being together with a healthy family. It's extremely hard for families who are spending their lives having to work instead. So now, corporations are paying our politicians with lobbyists, spending millions and millions, therefore, our politicians are doing the work of the corporations FIRSTLY, Then themselves secondly, and then, maybe then, the normal living citizens. Corporations pay for the regulations, laws, and policies to be in place, they control citizens incomes, prices, products, time at work, healthcare, food, basically everything needed. They control it. Because they have control over the private industries, and pay to have control over our government. So here we are! Corporations have taken over the country and government. Corporate takeover. Now imagine if a foreign country specifically controlled all things citizens utilize in day to day lives, and the government laws, regulations, policies etc. American citizens would be losing their shtt with pitchforks probably literally fighting to stop the foreign entity from doing this. But, it's already happened but with corporations. And I don't see much of anything at all spoken about this by people or by news etc. I was completely blown away at the income inequality and wealth gap stat charts. The difference grows apart year by year, and you can literally see it in the timeline. And now it's absolutely absurd, it's absurd. And somehow, politicians along with corporations, actually conned Americans so completely. The republican politicians are overtly supportive of corporations controlling, the left not near as much. But that doesn't really matter at this point. To me, it's basically equal value of.. "oh, our country actually got taken over by a totally foreign entity and they control the private markets and our government, and the results are exactly why normal citizens now work their lives away paycheck to paycheck, go bankrupt for healthcare, don't see family barely, mental health crisis, gun violence, crime, suicide, poor standards, extremists", on and on. Sorry I rambled a book comment
@@herehere3139 Cannabis was outlawed to solidify corporate control of the means of production and transportation. Even now, Cannabis "legalization" laws are solidifying corporate control over Cannabis production. But there is more to Cannabis than getting high. Fuel, plastic and paper can be made from the stalks of hemp plants by everyone in every state. Everyone can grow weed. Not everyone can drill for oil. That is why "Marijuana" is illegal. They just made up stories about people getting high on weed and going on killing sprees to outlaw hemp production. It's the modern-day equivalent of saying that space lasers are starting forest fires. But everyone went along with it because *Hemp for Victory* was banned from public viewing for almost 50 years after World War II. Cannabis hemp was outlawed as "Marihuana" so that the world had to rely on fossil fuels for production and transportation, as well as trees for paper and construction, to protect the fortunes of the oil and logging industries, the two primary causes of climate change today. *Hemp for Victory* is US Federal Cannabis legalization. It will change the way that the entire world does business, redirecting trillions of dollars of the global economy away from oligarchic control of finite fossil resources back to farmers and the working class worldwide, down to the poorest rural villages.
Reminds me of that great line from the “Chernobyl” miniseries: “We're on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. They are practically what define us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.”
That Chernobyl miniseries was one of the greatest things ever televised. It was so powerful and so eerie and felt so much like a reflection of our own government at the time. Must watch TV about the consequences of expecting that government will always lie to you.
As an Australian, it's fantastic seeing Murdoch forced to try and throw some of his most high profile employees at FOX under the bus. Because this will affect his efforts in Australia.
The Daedalus bit was flying high. That was literally classic. My most sincere congratulations and admiration for the writers and for Seth delivering. The crackup on "beeswax" was sweet. Kudos!

As an epidemiologist and unabashed fan of the fast and furious franchise that joke was absolutely brilliant Top tier episode - great job ACL cast and crew
As an epidemiologist, I'd think you'd make note of the fact that COVID is caused by the virus, SARS COV 2, which like the fast and furious movies, was the sequel to SARS COV 1 (more commonly known as simply, SARS), so despite the lady thinking it was the nineteenth COVID, viruses are, in fact, named just like fast and furious movies. SARS was the first coronavirus to cause severe, acute respiratory issues in humans, and the virus that caused COVID was the second (that we know to currently exist). But, I shouldn't be telling you this because this is what you apparently do for a living.
@@freebobafett i still think the joke is valid though. The core of the joke is that there are several (near a dozen!) F&F movies, while as you pointed out only 2 SARS viruses (and two hardly an epic franchise makes). Kellyanne specifically mistook the “19” part of the name to make her statement. I guess had she called the virus by its full name (SARS-CoV-2) then *maybe* she wouldn’t have sounded like a fool.
As I listen to all of these revelations proving what we have been saying all along, I’m reminded that the people who need to hear this won’t, and even if they do, it won’t change a thing….Which ultimately is the biggest issue we face as a society; a significant portion of said society has proven that they don’t care in the least about facts, truth or how their actions effect the rest of us. That’s a problem. And I don’t know if there’s an answer.
Yes … this was my thought too. I work with many of those ppl, and with evidence against Fox they simply turn to Newsmax and other propaganda machines to get the “real scoop.”
@@dominiczerafa8990 I don’t think any of this is funny anymore at all, if I ever did! This is a REAL problem. The number of people who believe civil war is an option is incredibly sad. This is causing the loss of life! And if Fox was willing to lie about this, what wouldn’t they blatantly lie about? Think of how they are attack the LGBTQ community! Or the homeless population…The list really goes on and on and the damage they are doing is heartbreaking. They are truly horrible people.
Sure, there's an answer. It's the same answer successfully employed when similar groups of reality-hating bigots, ie. fascists, tried to steal half of the US or use Germany to conquer the world for Nazism. It's the same answer the brave defenders of democracy in Ukraine are currently putting into practice. Let's stop letting the problem fester and finally lance this boil.
Extremely doubtful. Even if they were to completely drain every one of his bank accounts, he’d still have millions coming in weekly. Americans need to file a class action lawsuit.

@@fionamackie3357 no, you did, but you changed that law in 2002 and he's been entitled to regain his australian citizenship ever since. i don't know whether he has, but he can. so if america were to take his american citizenship away as we ought, he would not be left stateless.
Fox News should have been forced to have all of its personalities issue an apology, admit they lied, and do it during prime time hours. And any time it’s brought up they cannot downplay or deflect.
Seth’s Trump impression always makes me laugh. Fox could tell its viewers that 1+1=5 and they’ll believe it. The next day they could tell them that 1+1=8 and again they’ll believe it.
I will have to check that out! Quite honestly, I don’t have a TV so that may be why I missed it. Either that, or it happened when there was so much misleading/incorrect information out there that I simply forgot about it 🤷🏻♀️
@@anthonysilvestri4946 Also the "Seth rants" (?) bit where it gets muted and it just shows text commentary about what he's saying. He hasn't done one for a while. "Jokes Seth can't tell" is great.
As if anyone to the left of hunting the homeless for sport is surprised Murdoch did it for money. Thanks, Seth, for speaking the truth while helping us smile through the tears. ❤️❤️
Yup, it is obviously jackal bait. Not falling for your tricks, Seth! Nothing wrong at all with your use of Frankenstein. Not at all, totally nailed it. 👍
@@rfair123 its the right who are just dying to get rid of the constitution so you can have your christian dictatorship. Ironic how you are so afraid of sharia law in america but have no problem forcing your christian version of it on everyone. But then the right has always been immune to irony and hypocrisy.
I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why something so offensively bad (truly horrendous) is also so riotously funny. I have no idea, except maybe for the fact that Seth can barely keep a straight face?
It's bad, he knows it's bad, he verbally acknowledges it's bad, and he does it anyway. It's my understanding that it's something of an Aussie trait to express affection by insulting each other, yes? Or "taking the piss" as y'all might say? So maybe Seth is just trying to display his love for our friends Down Under 🇺🇸 💙🇦🇺
As a Scot I truly sympathise when it comes to your accent being horribly mangled by others trying to ape it. That said, Seth’s Aussie accent is hilarious, and still a billion times better than mine, which is based entirely on Alf from Home & Away (“Ya flamin’ galah!”) 😂 At least he hasn’t mentioned throwing shrimps on the barbie yet?
I meth Seth once. He walked up to me, big man, strong man, tears rolling down his face, he said this was a tremendous impression and I know everything about impressions folks. I’m probably the best impressioner in the history of the United States.
Seth, you are hilarious 🤣 but I’m still terrified and heart 💔 broken by the absolute moral bankruptcy of the Republican Party and their refusal to stop 🛑 their march towards fascism.
I find it terrifying. It is horrifying that people from ALL walks of life believe all the lies that Trump says, and Fox repeats, and adds many of their own.
March towards? I'm pretty sure American conservatives and fascism have walked hand in hand since even before WW2. I mean, we like to pretend like our involvement in WW2 makes us paragons of anti-fascism, as if we weren't actively holding Asian American citizens in our very own concentration camps and waging a prolonged fire bombing campaign on Japanese noncombatants. I suppose I just see it less as the republican party marching towards fascism, and instead see it as an indicator of how comfortable they are in the modern political climate, to be open with their inherent nature.
OK....the Murdoch imitation is now my favourite of ALL TIME! Between yesterday's show and this one, I'm peeing myself whenever I even think about those clips. Super well done, Seth!!
The fact that we allow any news organization to endorse political candidates is absurd, but seeing people who currently work for a “news” organization on stage actively campaigning is completely insane.
You made me just realize that here in baltics, MSM dont endorse political candidates and stay neutral. It would make election into such a show and look unprofessional.
We have the same problem in the UK with the Daily Heil, I mean Fail, I mean Mail. They've done more to destroy this country than any other single entity short of Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. For context, they supported Hitler in the 30's and the "Black Shirts", the British Fascist Party. They still support far right agendas and parties like the current iteration of the Tory party who has basically been infiltrated by the likes of the BNP and UKIP, not that the Tories were ever good for the people, they've always been right ring, but now they're genuinely fascistic and want to revoke any and all rights we enjoy, up to and including the European Convention on Human Rights, something set up by Churchill after the war to specifically stop the slippery slope that lead directly to Hitler rising to power from happening ever again.
Does anyone with an IQ over 50 believe that CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS don’t endorse Democrats? Unfortunately, this is the way it has become, networks no longer report the news, they are advocates for one party or the other. Democrats believe what they see on CNN, MSNBC, etc. and Republicans believe what they see on FOX and neither one is correct.
How does one get nominated for Emmy awards? Is that something I can do? I hope you all get one for this, Seth! Well done! Brilliant & hilarious, as always, but above & beyond here!
I'm Australian, and I'm really quite proud of Seth's bogan aussie impression. Americans don't typically do well with our accent, but his cartoonishly over-the-top version is really quite good.
So true!! Melbs here, one of the best Aussie accent impressions buy an American I've heard in ages. Hats off to Myers. I was ready to feel the usual cringe felling of hearing it get butchered when he said he was going to do it. And then I was pleasantly surprised.
So if a company advertises on Fox, it should also expect that Fox will hand over their confidential campaign information to their competitors without their permission.
Man, it's too bad we live in a world where a Rupert Murdoch impression is necessary but at least we get this one. Also, that Trump/Icarus bit caused me to actually laugh out loud.
Fun fact. Stollen is a traditional german Christmas cake with lots of raisins coated with powdered sugar in the size of a loaf of bread. Kind alike poor Donie’s brain.
The fact that Seth can't control his laughter when he gets to the punchline makes me appreciate him all the more, and the writers too!
❤🔥 if you like that part, you'll love Corrections
@@WillBeebe Oh, I've enjoyed my share of those!

As I listen to all of these revelations proving what we have been saying all along, I’m reminded that the people who need to hear this won’t, and even if they do, it won’t change a thing….Which ultimately is the biggest issue we face as a society; a significant portion of said society has proven that they don’t care in the least about facts, truth or how their actions effect the rest of us. That’s a problem. And I don’t know if there’s an answer.
CIVIL WAR is inevitable all because of the REPUKES That's the answer
Yes … this was my thought too. I work with many of those ppl, and with evidence against Fox they simply turn to Newsmax and other propaganda machines to get the “real scoop.”
@@dominiczerafa8990 I don’t think any of this is funny anymore at all, if I ever did! This is a REAL problem. The number of people who believe civil war is an option is incredibly sad. This is causing the loss of life! And if Fox was willing to lie about this, what wouldn’t they blatantly lie about? Think of how they are attack the LGBTQ community! Or the homeless population…The list really goes on and on and the damage they are doing is heartbreaking. They are truly horrible people.
@Rob Sheldon
I absolutely agree with your assessment in your OP.
That really is the basis for the current state of things.
Sure, there's an answer. It's the same answer successfully employed when similar groups of reality-hating bigots, ie. fascists, tried to steal half of the US or use Germany to conquer the world for Nazism. It's the same answer the brave defenders of democracy in Ukraine are currently putting into practice.
Let's stop letting the problem fester and finally lance this boil.
This is priceless Seth! On a roll with the GQP/Fox/tRump goonshow. It sure makes for some stellar Closer Look laughs. Thanks Seth & co. We love you!
So the Biden administration is not a goon show?
Dying at the Daedalus tangent.
Daedalus was a big guy - a strong guy, with tears streaming down his face! LOL
I hope this lawsuit destroys Murdoch and Fox entirely.
Extremely doubtful. Even if they were to completely drain every one of his bank accounts, he’d still have millions coming in weekly.
Americans need to file a class action lawsuit.
It’s for only 1.6 of his 400+ Billion.
Unfortunately it won't.
It's America, Rich get away with things easy by throwing some dollars around sadly
If "SuperSize Me" didn't kill McDonalds, than this defamation lawsuit isn't gonna kill Fox News.
I LOVE Seth so much. If I could only watch one late night personality, it would be Seth for sure.

Me too! He's personable!
That Icarus/Daedalus bit is a great example of why this is the best late night show out there.
"I call him `Ic'."
As an Australian, I judge Seth's Australian accent to be... actually not the worst I've heard. 6/10, which for an American is high praise.
6/10 is better than most Australians!
So Seth's Australian accent is about as good as John Oliver's English accent?
I read this in best Australian accent. I'd score myself 2/10, generously.
You're kidding. Not even one consonant sounded Australian.
I think he’s accidentally getting better

Fox News should have been forced to have all of its personalities issue an apology, admit they lied, and do it during prime time hours. And any time it’s brought up they cannot downplay or deflect.
You mean like the American hating leftists on the view who just agreed to a huge settlement for lying?
Public executions would be easier.
Tucker being tossed is the start…there will be a few more in the coming weeks..
Seth’s Trump impression always makes me laugh.
Fox could tell its viewers that 1+1=5 and they’ll believe it. The next day they could tell them that 1+1=8 and again they’ll believe it.
So true. So many people that just do not use their brains. Absolutely speechless

As someone who has never heard Rupert Murdoch speak, I'm happy to accept Seth's impression as my new headcanon.
The phrase, "no honor among thieves," comes to mind.
Dishonesty, disloyalty, hypocrisy, cruelty…
To fascists, these are not sins, but the highest of virtues.
That entire Daedalus/Icarus schtick was pure genius. I'm surprised Seth kept it up for so long without breaking.

Mad props writers for elevating discourse level of Late Night with the Greek allusion, said English teachers everywhere 🤣
As someone who once started a discussion on what the correct pronunciation of "Daedalus" might be, I concur.
As soon as he started that joke, I thought -this is why I love Seth
As a Kiwi I feel I can say your Aussie accent is spot on.
Right on! I think he should push it a bit harder, even. After all, borderline offensive doesn't outright say which side of the border it's on... :P
"None of my beeswax." Well played, sir.
I love you, Seth. Sometimes, you are painfully funny.
Thank you very much, Seth, for the particular segment of "A Closer Look". It was top, TOP shelf stuff.
"You supported me through thick and thin, and now that you're under fire, I will stand by you til the very end" said Donald Trump, never.
This was fantastic!!! That Icarus joke was perfect!!🤣🤣🤣
Ugh. So when are these people going to be held responsible? This will continue unless someone is made an example.
Whoever wrote that beeswax joke deserves a raise
Agreed! It’s a super nerdy and sorta niche joke, but an absolute masterpiece and deserves more applause than the live audience gave
As an Australian I'm in love with your Australian impersonation - it sounds nothing like an Australian BUT it somehow sounds a lot like Rupert Murdoch
Let's go Seth! These are the best segments lol
😂 living through these times…now I understand why we are wired for humour. Thank you for keeping me 90% sane 😂
As a former literature teacher and fully-accredited jackal, I *know* you're baiting me with the purposeful Frankenstein error and it's killing me!
Total jackal bait. Only one more obvious at this point would be legos
Yup, it is obviously jackal bait. Not falling for your tricks, Seth! Nothing wrong at all with your use of Frankenstein. Not at all, totally nailed it. 👍
You know when we accuse him of baiting is he burns us anyway

This was one of the best eps. And as an Aussie, I approve of whatever accent this is for Rupert.
Again, as an Aussie I'm so offended by your accent, but why can't I stop laughing hysterically? Comedy gold!
I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why something so offensively bad (truly horrendous) is also so riotously funny. I have no idea, except maybe for the fact that Seth can barely keep a straight face?
It's bad, he knows it's bad, he verbally acknowledges it's bad, and he does it anyway.
It's my understanding that it's something of an Aussie trait to express affection by insulting each other, yes? Or "taking the piss" as y'all might say? So maybe Seth is just trying to display his love for our friends Down Under 🇺🇸 💙🇦🇺
As a Scot I truly sympathise when it comes to your accent being horribly mangled by others trying to ape it. That said, Seth’s Aussie accent is hilarious, and still a billion times better than mine, which is based entirely on Alf from Home & Away (“Ya flamin’ galah!”) 😂
At least he hasn’t mentioned throwing shrimps on the barbie yet?
Seth's Trump impressions never grow old.
True
never
I meth Seth once. He walked up to me, big man, strong man, tears rolling down his face, he said this was a tremendous impression and I know everything about impressions folks. I’m probably the best impressioner in the history of the United States.

Highly doubt it, unfortunately.
I hope so, but News Corp is worth over 16 Billion and has annual revenue of around 10 Billion.
I appreciate the optimism, but I think Trump has taught us the danger of hope as well as its benefits. Only votes will get us out of this mess.
It won’t be, unfortunately 🙄
4:05 - Seth’s Rupert Murdoch / Donald Trump impressions kill me. I got to see him in September 2019. It was a beautiful time in New York ❤
Seth, you are hilarious 🤣 but I’m still terrified and heart 💔 broken by the absolute moral bankruptcy of the Republican Party and their refusal to stop 🛑 their march towards fascism.
I find it terrifying. It is horrifying that people from ALL walks of life believe all the lies that Trump says, and Fox repeats, and adds many of their own.
Gotta organize your neighborhood and get folks out to vote Or run for office🙏🏼💙 🗳 🌊
March towards? I'm pretty sure American conservatives and fascism have walked hand in hand since even before WW2. I mean, we like to pretend like our involvement in WW2 makes us paragons of anti-fascism, as if we weren't actively holding Asian American citizens in our very own concentration camps and waging a prolonged fire bombing campaign on Japanese noncombatants.
I suppose I just see it less as the republican party marching towards fascism, and instead see it as an indicator of how comfortable they are in the modern political climate, to be open with their inherent nature.
Agree with you Republicans today are f crazy….👮♀️
@@VicViper1984 - Last night I saw the PBS show about camps for Japanese-Americans….your points are well taken.
These trips to impression camp are really paying off. 4 and a half stars.
OK....the Murdoch imitation is now my favourite of ALL TIME! Between yesterday's show and this one, I'm peeing myself whenever I even think about those clips. Super well done, Seth!!
The fact that we allow any news organization to endorse political candidates is absurd, but seeing people who currently work for a “news” organization on stage actively campaigning is completely insane.
I was a “peon” in the police department and they sent literature telling us it was against policy for us to openly support a political campaign. 🫤
You made me just realize that here in baltics, MSM dont endorse political candidates and stay neutral. It would make election into such a show and look unprofessional.
We have the same problem in the UK with the Daily Heil, I mean Fail, I mean Mail. They've done more to destroy this country than any other single entity short of Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. For context, they supported Hitler in the 30's and the "Black Shirts", the British Fascist Party. They still support far right agendas and parties like the current iteration of the Tory party who has basically been infiltrated by the likes of the BNP and UKIP, not that the Tories were ever good for the people, they've always been right ring, but now they're genuinely fascistic and want to revoke any and all rights we enjoy, up to and including the European Convention on Human Rights, something set up by Churchill after the war to specifically stop the slippery slope that lead directly to Hitler rising to power from happening ever again.
Fox isn't news. It's infotainment.
Does anyone with an IQ over 50 believe that CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS don’t endorse Democrats? Unfortunately, this is the way it has become, networks no longer report the news, they are advocates for one party or the other. Democrats believe what they see on CNN, MSNBC, etc. and Republicans believe what they see on FOX and neither one is correct.
Please do another stand-up. That Icarus line is gold.
That was a long walk but such an engaging impersonation delivery it really was worth the beeswax line delivery, that was well done
The fact they knew they were lying they should be forced to shut down permanently.
The bee's wax payoff was actually pretty good there. Good to see that Seth's tangents are improving, much love ❤️

How far does this have to go before the word NEWS is taken away.
So if a company advertises on Fox, it should also expect that Fox will hand over their confidential campaign information to their competitors without their permission.
Man, it's too bad we live in a world where a Rupert Murdoch impression is necessary but at least we get this one. Also, that Trump/Icarus bit caused me to actually laugh out loud.
