      I really feel that "millennial" is way to large a term. I think the born between 1897-1993 group really saw the shift of technology change childhood *during* childhood. Like, in 6th grade I had to call my friend's house line, trying not to interupt their family for dinner but also trying not to call too late, etc, to try and make plans for the weekend, and the only people I ever talked to were people I knew face to face. By 9th grade, Online gaming, texting, and myspace had become widespread.
      It's like there's a pre-internet childhood, a post-internet childhood, and we're the ones who had our childhood during that transitional period.

      it was in the headlines long enough for magazines to print about it & plaster the lines at the grocery store where u would read the story in line & put the mag back at ur turn.
      we all found out about it at the same time & were focused on it at the same time & everybody told endless, lame, almost identical jokes about it.
      They did the talk show circuit, the news, & those like 20/20 or Dateline shows & serious interviews w Diane Sawyer.

    Hey there Late Night team! I doubt you (gender-neutral noun) will ever read this comment, much less care about it, but I feel it needs to be said. I had to unsub from your channel because of the non-stop notifications for two minute clips of your show that sometimes are cut short. I don't think whoever you work for that calls the shots understands modern media formats because this is just incredibly annoying. Watching a little clip from your show followed by some stupid too-loud music is NOT the way you do this. Watch other TH-cam channels with large amounts of subs and you'll see the proper way to do this in 2018. Being that I'm just some random person on the InterNate and I'm commenting on a TH-cam video which will soon have enough comments to drown mine out like an unattended child in 3 inches of water, I'm obviously an authority on the matter. I'm going to just go back to what I was doing before you were briefly off the air, downloading the show sans advertisements from a place that shall not be named. Much easier than having to put up with listening to more 8G band than Late Night comedy stylings. That's just my $0.02. Again, I'm an authority on the matter.

    Karen is absolutely adorable. I love this segment because I always know Seth's stuff, but I've yet to ever know even one of Karen's. Now if you'll pardon me, since I have no kids to yell at to get off my lawn, I'm going to practice whistling a song no one will recognize.

    Hanson, the Lizzie Maguire cartoon, and the Crypt Keeper all look like different larval stages of David Spade.

    I used to love staying up late and watching tales from the crypt!

    She doesn't know who "Cathy" is, either...clearly! LOL! Why do I know all of the presentations? I have lived through them...not because i have heard of them subsequently. LOL!

    6:2 How do you know you "don't care for it" if you "haven't seen it?"

    LOL! I recently bought this "new" Parent Trap on DVD because my 5 yo loves it so much! Clueless was my all time fave movie from my teen years, but this version of Parent Trap is a close second! (I like lame movies) My 5 yo just happened to glance over and saw "Meredith" and was like "Oh, mom, you remember this girl?" LOL!!!
