archival audio recordings of Seth Meyers'
0:05
corrections. To watch all new
0:07
episodes of Corrections, subscribe to the Late
0:09
Night YouTube channel. In
0:15
the year 2021, Late Night
0:17
Talk Show host Seth Meyers unleashed the
0:19
full fury of the internet with the
0:21
utterance of a single word. These
0:26
are the stories of one man's descent
0:28
into the bowels of the internet and
0:31
his courage to take on the most
0:33
dangerous people on earth, YouTube commenters. Recorded
0:36
every Thursday after the audience has
0:38
left Studio 8G and witnessed only
0:40
by scattered members of the late
0:43
night staff and crew, this
0:45
is Corrections, the podcast. Well,
0:53
here's some bad news. Bane
1:01
was so mad about the bird Bane
1:03
mask that he broke Ellen's f***ing ankle.
1:10
She keeps saying it was an accident, but that's exactly
1:12
what Bane would have told her to say. I
1:20
was really happy with last week's Corrections.
1:24
And we're going to bring it down a little bit this
1:26
week. What
1:29
tonight lacks in length it will more than make
1:33
up for in mediocrity. You
1:38
guys, the bird Bane
1:41
mask was a triumph. There's
1:44
no other way to say it. And
1:47
I even had a different way to end
1:49
last week's Corrections when
1:53
I had the spark of
1:55
inspiration that led to bird Bane mask. And
1:59
the rest is history. Someone
2:03
wrote this week, my ice keeps getting bigger and
2:05
I thought that's crazy and now I'm looking at
2:07
deaf is. Ice
2:15
melts but I feel like I got the kind that goes
2:17
the other direction. Oh!
2:27
Birdbane Mask was a triumph. We all know that and yet
2:30
still a ton of notes. Someone
2:34
said that's not how Bane sounds. Well,
2:36
that's how Birdbane sounds. I
2:40
invented him. I get to decide. Someone
2:44
said the mask should cover the beak because
2:47
Bane's mask covers his mouth. Well,
2:49
Birdbane's different. I
2:53
invented him. I
2:57
was told I had a terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger
3:00
impression. I
3:03
should get a refund from Impressions Camp you
3:06
said. Here's
3:08
the thing, rookies. Everyone
3:12
has an Arnold Schwarzenegger and one
3:14
of the things they teach you in
3:16
Advanced Impressions Camp, which is what I'm
3:18
now in, is that when
3:21
everyone has one, the only way to
3:23
make yours stand out is to do
3:26
a really bad one. There
3:30
are certain people, Shatner, Schwarzenegger.
3:35
I have a terrible walk-in that everybody
3:37
likes. More cava, I'd like some too,
3:40
please. Keep
3:46
it coming. I
3:53
said last week that... I
4:02
said last week that NBC was threatening to
4:04
cancel corrections. Obviously I
4:06
was joking when I implied that anybody at
4:09
NBC knew this existed. Them
4:16
canceling this would be like breaking up with
4:19
someone you've never met. We
4:26
had an animation
4:28
of Donald Trump getting hit in the head with a
4:30
brick. Many
4:33
of you said, hey, that's not the sound a
4:36
brick would make if it hit someone in the head. Which
4:39
is true, but when you're doing a comedy show, you
4:42
can't do it with
4:44
the sound it would actually make. So here's what
4:46
we did. I don't need to
4:48
read the bill because I know a bad deal
4:50
with Melania. And
4:53
here's how it would sound if it was
4:55
what you wanted. I don't need
4:57
to read the bill because I know a bad deal
4:59
with Melania. In
5:11
that same closer look,
5:13
we had this sort
5:15
of refined Trump character ask Melania to
5:19
bring him some chamomile tea because he was going to
5:21
stay up late. Chamomile
5:24
tea helps you fall asleep. That
5:27
makes sense. It's the most popular in the new Cosby
5:30
zone line of teas. Cosby
5:38
zone. People
5:44
said, uh, it's
5:46
a shame. You don't go back to the previous Thursday's closer
5:49
look. I do. Uh,
5:56
was very excited last week to announce that we
5:58
had a give me the googs mug. Now
6:00
available in the NBC store. Obviously, I'm always excited
6:02
when we get new merch Discontinued
6:06
already. We were immediately
6:08
sued by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1998. They sold
6:10
one of these I'm
6:18
the only one who remembers
6:21
Tom googly outa Made
6:32
a crack that teamsters wouldn't appreciate
6:34
modern art Was
6:37
told by someone teamsters can actually be very
6:39
knowledgeable about such things local
6:41
814 includes the handlers Art
6:44
handlers here at Christie's and Sotheby's the two biggest auction
6:46
houses in the world and
6:49
I knew I stepped in it last week because When
6:53
I walked off stage Kenny said if I insulted
6:55
his art knowledge again My
6:57
face would be more up than Picasso's
6:59
femme ocean Australia
7:10
we had a joke about a kid got
7:12
caught in claw machine in Australia and the
7:14
cops got him out. We said cost him
7:18
$15 worth of quarters Australia does not have
7:20
a quarter They
7:23
have a one-cent coin a two-cent
7:25
coin a fuzzle gober a kangaroo
7:27
a Grazzle
7:29
basil and a paddle alabagan Free
7:36
Willie wasn't his name The
7:39
name of the whale was Willie Free
7:42
was what they want. That was an action. We'd be
7:44
saying like his name was ask jeans And
7:48
guys, I don't want to make today waste
7:51
my time criticizing the end of free willy But
7:56
kind of sucks because
7:58
there's this whole plot is like like will the
8:00
whale have enough oomph to get
8:02
over this breakwater
8:04
to freedom? And then the
8:07
kid stands there, so
8:09
Willie not only has to jump over the breakwater,
8:13
you gotta jump over a 12 year old kid too.
8:16
And I get it, moo-moo looks good on a poster,
8:18
but come on. No,
8:21
no, no, no, no, bail, bail,
8:23
bail. They don't remember you. They
8:26
don't remember you, it's not gonna work. Don't
8:28
know, don't, no, just.
8:35
Don't do, don't milk it, they don't. Get
8:39
out of here, googs. Here's
8:55
my favorite comment of the week. 95th,
9:00
95th episode of Corrections. Five
9:04
to go. 95
9:09
episodes of something. What
9:11
do I do it for it? Love of the game. I'm
9:15
not compensated for Corrections. Someone
9:19
wrote, is there ever anyone else or is
9:21
it always just this old guy? And
9:28
then someone else jumped into the
9:30
comments to
9:35
describe me as a busted
9:38
Ash Ketchum. Look
9:42
it up. Someone
9:48
said Bongos, Larry
9:50
David and I talked about Bongos. We
9:53
were not complimentary. Someone
9:56
said, hey, Bongos are hard, they're hard to
9:58
play well. I go so far as
10:00
to say they're impossible. To play
10:02
well. Should
10:11
we check in on my fingernails? Should
10:14
we, when we do it, should
10:17
we do the bit I had planned last week? This
10:21
is all just a set up for a bit that I was going to do and
10:23
then came up with
10:26
Burbank and was so relieved that
10:29
I then didn't have to do the bit that I'm going to do
10:31
now. Are you guys
10:33
all going to see in real time how much worse this
10:35
bit was? Than
10:38
the triumph that was the birdbane mask? And
10:43
would the ending today be better if
10:45
Bane hadn't broke Ellen's f***ing
10:47
ankle? It
10:49
would, but I hadn't. No recourse
10:51
but to go back to
10:54
last week's bit. Let's
10:57
take a look. Again, not
10:59
bad. The only problem is
11:01
I'm focusing so much on my
11:03
nails, I'm ignoring other personal hygiene.
11:06
Like I haven't brushed or flossed my
11:09
teeth in weeks. Is
11:15
this anything? Does
11:20
this work? Someone
11:26
sent me these. Is this funny? Really
11:35
doing it on your eyes? Is this good? Is
11:46
this a good ending? I
11:54
have funny bad teeth and I
11:58
have booty doodling on my arms. Did
12:04
I do a good job? Did
12:24
you guys all leave? See you in the
12:26
next week. Corrections.
12:38
Episode 96. Week
12:41
of Monday, February 12, 2024. Hey
12:44
everybody, I'm in a hurry tonight. I'm going
12:46
to go see Amy Poehler and Tina Fey and the Restless Leg
12:48
Tour at the Beacon Theatre. So I'm going to try to keep
12:50
things moving. Very sweet. I
12:52
told them I wanted to go and right away, they sent
12:54
me the link to Ticketmaster, which I thought was cool. What
12:58
did you just send in two words? Those two words
13:00
were Rudy Gugliani. I knew what you wanted. I made
13:02
it for you. There you go. We're off. Also,
13:05
wore my Rudy eyes last week. These are
13:07
my Rudy eyes. I have my fake teeth
13:09
in like this. There you go. And
13:12
I already said, Rudy, we've established
13:14
his bad lower teeth. So this would be that.
13:17
OK, there you go. Someone
13:20
also said when it was like this, it looked like a new
13:22
character called Rudy Powers. Do
13:25
I make you horny? I'll
13:30
tell you what makes me horny if you told
13:32
me you were the daughter of
13:34
my father's first cousin. Oh,
13:38
behave. And there we go. I think that paid off.
13:41
Also, somebody said I looked like Sid the Sloth from
13:43
Ice Age. Didn't Google it. You guys can do that
13:45
for me. What the f*** is
13:47
going on with my Negroni now? The
13:51
f*** is going on with my Negroni now? So this is
13:53
real ice. Oh, it isn't.
13:56
Oh, it is. Oh, it is. Oh, it
13:58
is. Oh, it is. Ellen
14:00
definitely emailed me about that and it
14:02
was too confusing to follow. Alright. Guys,
14:07
I'm made of Russia! Alright,
14:13
windmills do not produce wind. They convert wind to
14:16
energy. Same thing with puppy mills. They don't make
14:18
puppies. They just take puppies, do some stuff to
14:20
it, and the lights turn on. There we go.
14:27
The dog in blue's clothes was a girl. In my
14:29
defense, I never watched the show Blue's Clues. One
14:32
I was too old when it came out,
14:34
and two I just don't believe a girl
14:36
could solve a puzzle. Their
14:38
brains work differently.
14:43
There's a science behind it.
14:46
I can tell I'm losing the room,
14:48
but there's science. It's
14:50
not She-Lock homes. This better not cost
14:52
me my tenure, and we're off. Alright.
14:56
Okay, Jimmy, I give you permission to
14:58
bring me a towel, buddy boy. Buddy
15:02
boy! Can't show up
15:04
the wrestler's leg with Negroni on my pants.
15:06
There you are, my friend. There
15:09
you are. Here we go. What's that?
15:11
Let's do a rehearsal. Except I don't
15:13
need rehearsal. Alright. Bazooka
15:25
Joe comics were not in Cracker Jack's boxes. They were
15:27
in a brand of gum. The brand of gum was
15:29
called Bazooka Joe. Should have known it. Cracker
15:32
Jack's had a comic strip of a character named Cracker Jack.
15:34
He was a hard-living Australian. Oi! Oh
15:36
boy, if I don't get the oi. Oi!
15:40
Oi! Oi! Oi!
15:44
This is snacks, I will bet not. There you go. Alright.
15:47
March 30th is when the World Curling Championship started. I
15:49
bet I was sitting by Canadian Jackal, and if it
15:51
wasn't, I will cut off my own ****. Here we
15:53
are. People said my
15:55
Joe Biden is starting to sound like Jennifer Coolidge. That's
15:58
insane. My Joe Biden doesn't sound anything like Jennifer Coolidge. I'll
16:00
do it real quick. Hey, let me tell you something. This
16:02
pony, this pony is a bad guy. He's
16:04
a bad guy. He's a tough customer, but he's not the toughest customer,
16:06
I'm afraid. I said, let me tell you that much. Toughest
16:09
thing we're facing right now is his evil gaze.
16:11
You were trying to kill me. He's evil. There
16:16
is no platinum level at Sephora. There is beauty inside
16:19
her, V.I.B. and Rouge. I was shocked because Baze wrote
16:21
that joke, and nobody at our show is at Sephora
16:23
more than Baze. It's
16:25
an addiction. It's a problem. Every f*** week,
16:27
he pretends like he's got some medical ailment. He's like, oh,
16:29
I got to go see my doctor. Next thing you know,
16:31
comes back with two heavy bags full of moisturizer. Always
16:35
coming in saying, hey, boss, can I get an
16:37
offense? There's a sale on Dewey's Skin Cream. Of
16:40
course, he doesn't say it like that. It's Baze. He says it
16:42
like this. Grrr. We
16:47
had a mobster say they were putting somebody in cement shoes.
16:49
We should have said concrete shoes. Cement is just like a
16:51
powder. You got to put gravel in it or sand. You
16:53
got to mix it with water. Cement shoes wouldn't achieve the
16:56
same thing that concrete shoes had. The better I make the
16:58
mistake than some mobster trying to off a guy. Then he
17:00
goes and tells his boss, you don't have to worry about
17:02
Angelo anymore. We put him in a pair of cement shoes.
17:04
The boss is like, hey, I hope you meet concrete shoes.
17:06
He's like, oh, I don't follow, boss. He's like, well, cement,
17:08
that's just a powder. It's not going to be heavy enough
17:11
to put him to the bottom of the East River. He's
17:13
like, oh, that explains something, boss, because I definitely saw somebody
17:15
look like Angelo get out of the water right afterwards.
17:18
You know, he's a little bit wetter than the Angelo we throwed in,
17:20
but he definitely yelled something on his way out. What did he yell?
17:23
He was like, you don't throw it in, I'm going to have his
17:25
life. Oh, yeah, that was definitely Angelo. Little
17:30
thrown by the Negroni. I
17:34
think some of this stuff would have played a hotter if I was a little
17:36
bit less thrown. All right. I
17:40
said, Joe Biden said he was
17:43
trying to connect to black voters. And I said, the joke
17:45
was in the monologue, if you're trying to connect to black
17:47
voters, get out of Delaware. Guess what? Delaware,
17:49
one of the top ten highest black populations in
17:51
the United States. So to our black people, black
17:53
voters who live in Delaware, I just want to
17:55
stop waving your hands. What do
17:58
you think I'm going to say? Stop
18:02
waving your hands to the black letters in Delaware. I just want to
18:04
say I'm sorry. What do you think I'm going to... Uh,
18:11
we made a Cosby joke last week. A lot of you
18:13
said that was inappropriate. I hear you loud and clear. I'm
18:16
not going to do it again. Also, it was a joke
18:18
about Camomile tea. Camomile tea and I missed the chance to
18:20
pronounce it. Camomile!
18:25
A lot of people said, why didn't the Tom Googly
18:27
out of cardboard cutout have googly eyes? That's a hat
18:29
on a hat. Someone
18:33
else said, what is the budget for cardboard cutouts on this show? About
18:35
80% of it? I
18:38
had a joke about a guy who thought he
18:40
had the Guinness World Record for creating the tallest structure
18:42
ever made using matchsticks. He spent eight years
18:45
building a nice tower and then
18:47
he built it and he showed it to Guinness and
18:49
Guinness disqualified him because the matches, you cannot buy them
18:51
commercially. What had happened was he was buying them commercially
18:53
and he was cutting the heads off the matchsticks and
18:55
then he realized that was taking so much time. That
18:57
was so arduous. He reached out to the matchstick company
18:59
and he said, hey, can you just sell them to
19:01
me before you put the heads on? And the matchstick
19:03
company was like, sure, we'll do that. And then he
19:05
built, you know, the Seiffel Tower and Guinness
19:07
said, no, we disqualify you. They had to change your heart.
19:09
Guinness had to change their heart because they realized everything we
19:11
do is made up and nobody gives a shit. And so
19:14
they said, you know what, we are going to give you the record. He got the record.
19:19
pretty amazing. You should look at a picture. Do you want
19:21
to know how high the tallest thing ever made, tallest structure
19:23
ever made on matchsticks? She making you want to guess how
19:25
tall it was? But I guess two and a half feet. Twenty
19:33
three and a half feet. Oh,
19:41
I mentioned it's possible to play the bongos well. An
19:43
Irish viewer sent in a quote from renowned Irish piper
19:45
Seamus Ennis. Seamus Ennis was once asked, what's the best
19:48
way to play the bongos? And he replied simply with
19:50
a pen knife. Guess
19:54
I should have done with my Irish accent. Oh,
19:56
you'd laugh if I did it with an Irish accent. said
20:00
Ringo actually plays the bongos very well on a
20:02
number of Beatles songs, including but not limited to,
20:04
You're Gonna Lose That Girl. Then
20:06
that same comment the person said, But I don't expect
20:08
this to ever be mentioned because NBC would never pay
20:10
to license a Beatles song for an internet show they
20:13
don't even know they're paying for. Well, jokes on
20:15
you. That is not one of the most popular
20:17
Beatles songs. So NBC did say, we will let
20:19
you license that song. So here is Ringo playing
20:21
bongos on, You're Going to Lose That Girl. You're
20:25
going to lose that girl
20:28
if you keep playing the
20:31
bongos. You're
20:37
hearing it again. I do think it's a sound alike. I do think they may
20:39
just get a sound. They
20:45
probably don't start on time. Tina
20:48
and Amy, why am I rushing everything for Tina and Amy? And then I'm
20:50
going to get there and I'm
20:52
going to be like, I
20:58
feel foolish. We
21:01
had a joke about a couple finding unrequited love letters in
21:03
an event in their house. Our joke was, one
21:06
of the lovers didn't know how to post offices work.
21:08
But then many of you noticed there was a postmark
21:10
on the envelopes we showed. So they were like, well,
21:12
somebody, somebody must have gone to a post
21:14
office. Good work, blues, blues. Blues, blues. If
21:21
blues, blues showed up to graphics to make that
21:23
complaint, they would of course be like, oh, you're
21:25
a girl. Oh,
21:27
yeah, that's a lot. We don't care. We're
21:31
good either way. When
21:34
Corrections reaches 100 episodes, one of you asked,
21:36
will you sell in this syndication? Yes, we
21:38
were in discussions right now with Siso and
21:40
Quibi. I'm
21:43
sorry, quick bites. I
21:48
think if you're in show business, you'll say like, oh, yeah, I'm doing
21:50
something on Quibi. And people are like, you'll go quick bites. It's
21:57
not an it's not a if. It's
22:00
not a win, excuse me. Make
22:04
it to 200, it's an if, because last week I
22:06
did this, I stirred my nagroni
22:08
with the tip of my pencil like this, and
22:10
someone said, hey, you can't drink that after the fact, which I
22:12
did, because you might get lead poisoning. I actually went to my
22:14
doctor, and he's like, yeah, it's bad. It might be too late.
22:17
And I was like, you think I'm going to make it to 100 corrections? And
22:19
he was like, I don't know what that is. And
22:21
I said, it's like a digital exclusive. I can't remember
22:24
what we landed on, but he said, it sounds bad,
22:26
I don't want to talk about it anymore. I said,
22:29
is there any way to get the lead out? And then he
22:31
just started blasting some zeppelin. And I was like, you know what?
22:35
That's a pretty corrections joke you just did right now. And he was like,
22:37
you know what? Maybe I should check it out. And I was like, well, I
22:39
got bad news. You got to start with the first one. Hey,
22:44
some complaints from people who watch Closer
22:46
Look online, and you
22:48
watch it on YouTube. It ends with me plugging
22:50
Family Trip, the podcast I do with my brother.
22:52
I feel like your complaint should be that the
22:54
YouTube you're using doesn't have a stop button. Also,
23:00
we're adding a new tag
23:02
to corrections. So
23:05
at the end of each corrections video, there's going to be a new tag
23:07
starting this week. I think you're really going to enjoy it. Hey,
23:10
the name of the orca, the
23:12
name of the orca who played William, Free
23:14
Willy, was named Kiko,
23:18
and after the film efforts were made to free Kiko back
23:21
into the wild. And I asked her research team to write
23:23
up some of the fun facts of how that went. Oh,
23:27
God. No, no, no,
23:29
no, no, no. No,
23:32
sweet God. Yeah,
23:35
well, if somebody lives in captivity, happily
23:40
ever after. What
23:48
was it? What was this today? I
23:52
mean, like, but also, you know, shout out. They did. I said, you know,
23:54
can you put in the groan and thing ice? And they did. And then
23:56
I forgot you couldn't pick it up. Well, there you go. Can't
23:59
go back in time. That's the great
24:01
thing about corrections. It just marches on. Can
24:06
we, Shoemaker,
24:10
do we have a CGI budget to fix it? Like,
24:17
before we post it, can we just make it look the way I thought
24:19
it was going to look? And
24:21
then you just obviously just digitize out. Remember
24:28
to stay tuned for the new tag at the end. There'll be
24:31
like a thing. There'll
24:33
be like a thing where it's like, or
24:35
whatever. And then that'll
24:38
be like a still of me with some
24:40
options. And then there'll be a message from
24:42
me. Or
24:45
maybe somebody else. But it
24:47
won't be because I know you hate it
24:50
so much. I know you hate that I
24:52
have a podcast. So
24:56
it won't be about the podcast. But I think that would be really cool. And
24:58
we're on hiatus, so see me in two weeks. Hey,
25:03
everybody. This is Birdbane reminding you to
25:05
watch this week's correction. What's that? You already
25:07
did one. And you can f*** right off off the
25:09
side of a mountain. Ha ha ha.
