TONE & STYLE

Humorous, affectionate, and self-aware; the episode is a mix of sharp-witted banter, inside comedy references, and passionate geekery. Both trivia and conversation flow naturally, switching between roasting, nostalgia, and genuine delight at deep-cut knowledge.

---

FOR NEW LISTENERS

• Even if you’re not a regular watcher of The Wire, a DC Comics head, or a football junkie, the comic chemistry and personal anecdotes make the episode accessible and fun.
• The trivia is less about the score, more about laughs and learning unexpected facts from a panel of self-proclaimed nerds.
• Standout moments come from the guest’s deep knowledge, the hosts’ gentle ribbing, and the strangely specific, yet relatable, takes on pop-culture and sports.

[Commercial Announcer]

So what's next?

[Colin Jost]

I feel liberated. We're gonna take this city back over medicated in an all new season now streaming only on Disney plus.

[Commercial Announcer]

They're hunting us. It's time we started hunting them.

[Colin Jost]

I can work with them.

[Commercial Announcer]

This should be tons of fun.

[Colin Jost]

Marvel Television's Daredevil Born Again now streaming only on Disney plus.

[Seth Meyers]

Question Can I to the producers? Can I give a bonus question if he doesn't get the first one?

[Colin Jost]

Yes. I think there's a room full of

[Seth Meyers]

producers all very upset. You know, my dad is very upset that the Pit, for all its success, there's literally no one, no one Pittsburgh accent. And I've explained it to him that if they were to have Pittsburgh accents, people would bring their TVs back to best Buy and say, this one's all, yeah, I want to come back. I really like this.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, you like it?

[Seth Meyers]

I want people to know that I came in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Mindy Kaling came in, hated it at first, and by the time she left, still hated it. So there you go. I love New York City. But with that said, I feel every now and then New York City should write a love letter to you. New York City's the spouse that should reach out to you and say, I'm sorry I left the trash in the street for a year. The man who said that quote is sitting right next to me.

[Seth Meyers]

What it was so much. I very thrown right off the bat. I did see a dead bird on the street on the way here. Like a well preserved robin. I almost took a picture of it, but it felt like not the right thing to do.

[Colin Jost]

That's the kind of story you can only get here in New York City, AKA the Big Apple.

[Seth Meyers]

Why do you have to look down for the Big Apple?

[Colin Jost]

This is my.

[Seth Meyers]

This is a trivia show you did. You had to double check if it was called the Big Apple.

[Colin Jost]

He was a bot. He is a writer, a comedian, host of his own Talk show for 12 years now and truly one of my closest friends.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that is true.

[Colin Jost]

He also claims to know a little bit about DC Comics, the television series the Wire and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Seth Meyers]

But I want to just say something only because you forced me to say three categories.

[Colin Jost]

I strong armed doing this.

[Seth Meyers]

You are such a dear friend of mine. Genuinely. I was trying to think of the friends that I would do a trivia based podcast with. And there might only be two other people.

[Colin Jost]

Who's the other two?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know. I think Mike Scher.

[Colin Jost]

Sure.

[Seth Meyers]

If he asked me and no, I don't, I think I'd say no to Sandberg. It might be just the two of you. Like guys I love, guys I do genuinely anything for. But FYI, I don't like it when I think about the way I want to spend an hour with you. This is not near the top. I do any. I would spend an hour with you doing anything. I'm just saying on that list, this is near the bottom.

[Colin Jost]

Seth Meyers with that said welcome to funny you ask.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm just, I'm worried that. Here's the thing, I didn't jump. I didn't call you and be like, I got three things. You forced me. It took me like a month to come up with a third thing.

[Colin Jost]

I was gonna say you gave me two and then you sat on it for a while. Yeah, but I know you and I know what you know. And now everyone's gonna know what you know.

[Seth Meyers]

But I also wanna say something to the people who also know these three things. If you know more about it, that doesn't mean you love it more than me.

[Colin Jost]

I know. But honestly, if you're a specialist on any, any of these three things, you're a nerd. So who cares what you think?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't even think I'm. By the way, what I'm learning about even just being married and having children, I'm not even an expert on myself. Trivia of my own ability to remember things that have happened.

[Colin Jost]

Well, you have three kids like me, and I've learned that you get exponentially dumber with every kid. You know what I mean? You're just a little bit of your brain.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you think you get dumber or there's just. You keep adding people who call you dumb to your face.

[Colin Jost]

That's basically. I think that's what it is.

[Seth Meyers]

You just start losing confidence.

[Colin Jost]

This is our first podcast here in New York City, AKA the Big Apple. AKA the Big Apple. If you make it here, you can make it anywhere.

[Seth Meyers]

Except for that bird.

[Colin Jost]

Except for that dead robin that Seth did not photograph. We wanted to get some guests that symbolize New York City. Oh, we got you. We got Anthony Weiner.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Colin Jost]

And the Cannibal Cop.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, those are good ones.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, those are three good. Yeah. The Cannibal Cop will be via Zoom at Rikers.

[Seth Meyers]

Right, right, right. Cause they caught him, right?

[Colin Jost]

Oh, they caught him. He's not eating anybody. The judge said you're not eating anybody. You lived in New York City for 25 years now.

[Seth Meyers]

That's crazy.

[Colin Jost]

That is crazy.

[Seth Meyers]

That is the craziest thing.

[Colin Jost]

You have become a true New York City fixture.

[Seth Meyers]

I feel like this is another. By the way, this is the best thing about New York City is I got off four blocks from here to walk to see you off the subway. And I 1 saw a dead bird and 2 passed a guy who said, colin Jo, still love ya. And then I said, Seth Meyers. And he went, ah, I don't like him.

[Colin Jost]

No, I don't like him. Who to you is like the quintessential New York celebrity sighting. Like when you see them, you're like,

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, the quintessential New York celebrity sighting for me. I mean, De Niro's right up there.

[Colin Jost]

That's a big one.

[Seth Meyers]

Stiller. Edie Falco.

[Colin Jost]

Edie Falco.

[Seth Meyers]

Those are some of the ones.

[Colin Jost]

I've seen Alec Baldwin before. My friend said he saw Alec Baldwin one time. He has like 16 kids and he said he saw Alec Baldwin and he was holding a bag and one of his kid's hand and he was holding a two year old, but he was holding it like a pizza. That's a New York sighting. Alec Baldwin carrying a child like a pizza.

[Seth Meyers]

I was walking my kids to school and I live in the same neighborhood as Alec Baldwin and obviously I've known him pretty well. The times he's done snl and I was doing times tables with my boys and we were walking. I was doing them, and then all of a sudden I heard a voice go, don't listen to your dad. He doesn't know what he's talking about. And they looked up and it was just Alec Bolland. And he did. I was like, hey, how are you? He's like, good. And then he looked back at him. He's like, ask your teacher. Don't listen to him. And then it was. He just kept. He stayed in character and never laughed. It was a very.

[Colin Jost]

9 times 9 is actually 82. So here's how this game is gonna work, my friend. We're gonna torture you. I'm gonna ask you a couple questions about one of your topics. Yep, we'll chat. You're gonna ask me a question from a completely random stack of questions that Annabelle has curated. We'll talk for a minute. We'll repeat that two times. And then we have the speed round.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God, that's novel.

[Colin Jost]

Forget about it. Fucking forget about it. Are you ready to get to.

[Seth Meyers]

It's New York. We don't got time for the normal round.

[Colin Jost]

Every round is a speed round in this city, my friend. Are you ready for your first question?

[Seth Meyers]

Sure.

[Colin Jost]

It's about DC Comics.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

This standup starred in Chappelle's show as Ashy Larry and hails from Washington, dc.

[Seth Meyers]

Sorry, what?

[Colin Jost]

You said one of your categories was DC Comics. I'm assuming that's comedians from the DC area.

[Seth Meyers]

I see, I see, I see what you've done here. I don't care for it. And I was starting upset, and now it's just so Dave Chappelle. That was your.

[Colin Jost]

The answer is Dave Chappelle. The answer is Danelle Rawlings.

[Seth Meyers]

And I'm joking, of course. I see. I see.

[Colin Jost]

I'm joking. You're talking about DC Comics. You mean like Superman?

[Seth Meyers]

I see.

[Colin Jost]

Batman. Here we go. Your real question is Boy. Question number one. Three years before the invention of Marvel's the Avengers, DC unveiled a comic about a group of superheroes. This all star collection of DC's top names was known as the Justice League. And the original lineup consisted of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman, and what green dude from another planet?

[Seth Meyers]

Martian Manhunter.

[Colin Jost]

Boom. Seth Meyers.

[Seth Meyers]

Really nice.

[Colin Jost]

You are on the board.

[Seth Meyers]

That was a nice. That was a gentle first question.

[Colin Jost]

Seth Meyers, you're on the frigging board, my friend. How about that?

[Seth Meyers]

You used to bully me about the fact that I bought comics.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, and I still do. This is a form of that. Here's your bonus question.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, boy.

[Colin Jost]

You got a bonus question. What is Martian Manhunter's real name?

[Seth Meyers]

Jon Jones. Boom boom. Spelled J, O, N, N, J, apostrophe O, N, N, Z, Z.

[Colin Jost]

It looks like Jon Jones.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Like, if that was real, it would be like the director, Spike Johns.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So. Because also he's sort of shape shifty. So Jon Jones would also sometimes present as not a big green dude.

[Colin Jost]

You picked comics as one of your subjects, as did Jimmy Kimmel, although he picked Marvel.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. That's good.

[Colin Jost]

My question is, why don't you two nerds fucking marry each other? Yeah, you know, right.

[Seth Meyers]

I guess because we're, like, happily married already.

[Colin Jost]

Hey, how happy would Donald Trump be if you and Jimmy Kimmel got married? I told you.

[Seth Meyers]

I think it would be a real one stone situation for him. Moving on. Not two birds.

[Colin Jost]

He would constantly.

[Seth Meyers]

Although we're down to one bird.

[Colin Jost]

He would call you guys in Beast Street Bird. But he would be like. He would call you guys like the lovebirds. The lovebirds are at it again. Nothing would make Donald Trump happier if you married another late night talk show host. How old were you when you started reading comics?

[Seth Meyers]

I probably eight or nine. Eight or nine years old.

[Colin Jost]

And you still read them?

[Seth Meyers]

Not with the same amount of regularity, but I do still. If I hear something's great, I will still go out and buy a comic.

[Colin Jost]

Follow up question. How much does your wife hate comics?

[Seth Meyers]

I think she doesn't. I think she. You know what? She really. She just hated that the boys got into superheroes because there was just a lot of, like, superhero, like, costumes and stuff.

[Colin Jost]

Sure. Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

And she sort of blamed the superhero stuff for the fact that they would just wail on each other. Yeah. I was like, dude, any kids, any boys are going to wail on each other. Any boys are going to wail like they don't need to as a reason to do it.

[Colin Jost]

Okay, who is your Justice League of friends? I'm not asking for your top tier of friends. I'm saying there's an evil force in the city.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Colin Jost]

It's a man who is. He's big, but not like Galactus big, but he is made of gas and he can create explosions.

[Seth Meyers]

Sure.

[Colin Jost]

Who are you?

[Seth Meyers]

This is the first time you haven't looked at notes, and it's really evident.

[Colin Jost]

It was pretty good. Who are you calling to fight this evil force? We're gonna call him El Destructo.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, but so you're. But like, you're saying, like, you have created a villain. As if I have friends who are Good at fighting. Like a gas base.

[Colin Jost]

No, maybe more. It's like we're all gonna die. Who are you gonna kind of call to hang out with us?

[Seth Meyers]

This isn't to stop.

[Colin Jost]

No, because you're right. We couldn't stop. Who do you call to be like, can you believe what's going on right now?

[Seth Meyers]

Gotcha. All right. So, like, you, Sandberg, you know? Sure.

[Colin Jost]

So you would be Superman. I would be maybe Batman. Sandberg. Aquaman.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Sandberg, I feel, has a good Aquaman vibe to him. Sure. Sure is kind of like. More it's Marvel, but like Professor X. Like, kind of Brainiac.

[Colin Jost]

Yes, he's very Brainiac.

[Seth Meyers]

Y. There is a Brainiac in the DC universe, but he's a villain and I will not make sure.

[Colin Jost]

I have a question about him.

[Seth Meyers]

Later, we'll edit much about. I don't know much about him.

[Colin Jost]

Well, you're gonna.

[Seth Meyers]

We'll see. And yeah, I mean, that'd be fantastic.

[Colin Jost]

Obviously, I love superheroes too.

[Seth Meyers]

I think she's very big, huge fan.

[Colin Jost]

Do you remember when the movie Sisters was coming out and it was opening the same day as the first new Star wars and we all went on your show and you asked a Star wars question and Poehler goes, I don't know. Who fucking cares? Fuck Star Wars. I'm not a baby. That was really funny. We have a clip. We're gonna play that clip.

Three seasons.

And I gotta go with Comic Con. I gotta go to Comic Con with Josh Meyers. Your brother. One of my dearest friends. Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

Old man.

[Colin Jost]

Emily Spivey. Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

One of the funniest people on earth.

[Colin Jost]

Two people who could not hate Comic Con more. Absolutely miserable the entire time. Like, Emily just kept going.

[Seth Meyers]

Ugh.

[Colin Jost]

Do you remember when we were in, they had a bus for us that was driving around and we were stuck in just horrible San Diego traffic. And Kenan was in the car with us. And there was a guy who was stuck in traffic driving some Comic Con vehicle. And Kenan just started doing his interior monologue. He said, man, fuck this. I don't even know what a Comic Con is. Anyway.

[Seth Meyers]

My most recent best of Spivey story is I did a. I was doing standup at a casino in Albuquerque and I saw that next week Patti LaBelle was playing. So immediately, already I had a Spivey friend of mine. Then when I went out on stage at this casino to my show, there was a Mr. Like, you know, like shooting mist behind me for like the. To sort of like as a lighting effect. This is the sound the mister was making. And I knew the audience couldn't hear it, but I Could hear the mister. And it was driving me crazy. And I made it 10 minutes into the show until I asked them if they could turn off the mister. Which they did.

[Colin Jost]

Right, right, right.

[Seth Meyers]

Then I texted Spivey and I said, I would like you to write a sketch where Maya Rudolph plays Patti LaBelle trying to get them to turn off the mister. And like, as soon as I hit send, I got a text back. There was a monologue, Patti LaBelle's monologue that was like, mister, who is doing the miss mister. Were you 86 the mist mister and it was just a real reminder of

[Colin Jost]

how she's the funniest person legitimately, one of the funniest human beings alive. What are. We finally are living in an era where they have good superhero movies, because growing up, they were kind of few in front of each other.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, there were no good one. I mean, the first Batman was a big. I mean, the first Superman.

[Colin Jost]

What are your top tier superhero movies?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, I'm going to tell you, maybe my favorite superhero movie is Unbreakable.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, wow. You really zig. Where? I thought you were going to zog.

[Seth Meyers]

I think that is a low. I think that's low key. Just a kind of perfect superhero.

[Colin Jost]

That is a very good superhero movie.

[Seth Meyers]

Ragnarok is just absolutely top tier. Best time.

[Colin Jost]

Absolutely. Superman 2. Very good.

[Seth Meyers]

Is Superman 2 very good.

[Colin Jost]

Superman 2 is where the phantom zone gets very, very good.

[Seth Meyers]

And I mean, I really. I mean, I do really like the Michael Keaton Batman a great deal as well. Yes.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Incredibles is a great superhero movie.

[Colin Jost]

Very good superhero. I hung out. I worked with Michael Keaton recently, and we were talking and I was like, who are you? Like, your Hollywood friends? And he was like, oh, this guy. And this guy. And he goes, and you know Jedd Nicholson? Cause you know Batman. So cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Have I done my Michael Keaton brush for you? Ask me a yes or no question.

[Colin Jost]

Are you hungry? It's really good. Hey, fix your posture. Come on, stand up. Stand up straight. Stand up straight. What is the single greatest comic of all time?

[Seth Meyers]

The single. Oh, my God. What a wonderful question. Single greatest comic of all time. So I'm gonna say first eight issues of Grant Morrison's Animal man.

[Colin Jost]

Ooh, wow. Grant Morrison. One of the goats.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

That's really good.

[Seth Meyers]

And that. That. And again, I think a lot. It's a little bit. I think comic books are a little bit like, you know, Lauren always says about SNL casts. It's like when you first, like, your favorite cast is like, yeah. And so I was I think when I was a kid reading that Animal Man, I read comic books enough, and it was a little bit. It had this deconstruction to it that I found, like, groundbreaking. Yeah. It endures. And I would say, like, if you're reading, like, one issue. If you had to read one issue, I think Killing Joke.

[Colin Jost]

Killing Joke's mine. It's crazy. I did love watchmen. Okay, question two about comics. Here we go. Of the top 20 comic book characters with the most issue appearances, Batman is number one and Superman is number two. Both DC characters.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Colin Jost]

The rest are mostly Marvel, except for two more DC heroes.

[Seth Meyers]

I credit the writing of this.

[Colin Jost]

Thank you. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

This is a wonderful question.

[Colin Jost]

Thank you.

[Seth Meyers]

So I'm gonna. As a hint, have you said their names already? Were any of them.

[Colin Jost]

I've said one of their names already.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

And the other sometimes works in conjunction,

[Seth Meyers]

so it's Robin and Wonder Woman.

[Colin Jost]

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Seth Meyers.

[Seth Meyers]

You didn't have to say the conjunction thing. That would. I think I would have got it.

[Colin Jost]

I would have edit that out.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

You knew it. You knew Dick Grayson.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah. Jason. Dick Grayson. Jason Todd, Damian Wayne. These are other Robins.

[Colin Jost]

Robin, very fun character to me. First of all, it's a ridiculous name. It's just like. Robin is just like a cute little sweet bird. Robin's origin story. If people don't know. His parents were famous trapeze artists.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

And the owner of the circus got extorted by, like, local mobsters. And, like, he wouldn't pay, so he, like, rigged the ropes and the Grayson family died.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I wasn't at the. Mom getting revenge on the owner of the circus. It seems like. Right. Like.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, Well, I mean, it's just.

[Seth Meyers]

It was like, nice circus. Shame if something happened to him. Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

It's a beautiful circus around here. Oh, that's a nice lion tamer. It would be sad if he died.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

What other celebs are comic boys? And I say boys because I don't think, like, fucking Dakota Johnson's like, oh, I love Grant Morrison's Animal Man.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, Patton Oswalt.

[Colin Jost]

Yes. Recently beat him in jeopardy.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Look at you.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Who is that not true of, though?

[Colin Jost]

Mina Kimes

[Seth Meyers]

and I don't know who else. Who the others are. Nick Cage. Remember he used to own like. Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, yeah. Action Comics. Not wrong. Really good. I assholed it. Who is your favorite DC villain?

[Seth Meyers]

Who is my favorite DC villain? It's really hard for it. Not. I mean, I know it's a real basic Normie, answer. But the Joker is an exceptional.

[Colin Jost]

I've worked with the Joker. I've worked with the J man.

[Seth Meyers]

Really? Oh, right. Of course you do.

[Colin Jost]

I was in the movie Suicide Squad.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Academy Award winner for best picture 2017.

[Seth Meyers]

And everybody's favorite Joker.

[Colin Jost]

Everyone's favorite Joker. I remember I had to do this scene with him, and he was actually nice, even though he was in character. But he was supposed to be menacing me in the scene, so I was acting scared. I was like, oh, no, please. And at one point, he was like, oh, he's straddling me. And he's like, oh, did someone piss their pants? And I'm a yes, Ander. So I was like, yes. Yeah. And it's just like, yeah. That's a rough improv to say to someone. It's like, oh, someone shit themselves. It's not cool.

[Seth Meyers]

I will say, as a collection of heroes, I'm. Because they are sort of dumb. The Flash villains are known as the Rogues Gallery. And they're like. Like, Mirror Master and Captain Boomerang. And like, yeah, those are. They're just like. They're all like, yeah, like, cold. There's one guy does cold, one guy does weather. Just a little.

[Colin Jost]

I was also a big fan of Ra's Al Ghul.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, Ra's Al.

[Colin Jost]

Like, he was very funny, especially when he's played by Liam Neeson. I have a particular set of Skittles. If you were a supervillain, what would your deal be?

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, perfect world. Parents die under trapeze.

[Colin Jost]

At least too close to home.

[Seth Meyers]

My parents are trapezo. I would love to just hear Larry and Hillary bickering on their way down.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, I told you to check the grips before he went on.

[Seth Meyers]

We know my. My dad for, like, his. It was like a big birthday. He's like, I've always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon. And I refused.

[Colin Jost]

No, no, no.

[Seth Meyers]

I refused. And I explained it that, like, I don't think anything's going to go wrong, but if anything did, like, I think we would have. We would have too much time on the way down for mom to blame you for our deaths.

[Colin Jost]

Also, you can never put yourself in a position where you die in a funny way. Whereas people are like, seth Meyers and his whole family went down a water balloon. Like, it's like, that's not cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, no upside of being in a high.

[Colin Jost]

No, no, I can go on a plane. It's much safer. Okay, Seth Meyers, ask me question number one, please.

[Seth Meyers]

What's the Olympic sport that combines cross country skiing and rifle shooting.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, I know this. Hold on, hold on. Everyone, everyone chill. Fucking calm down. It's.

[Seth Meyers]

It's.

[Colin Jost]

It's. It's when you're. You're skiing and you have the rifle and you stop and you shoot and then you get back on your skis.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a good rephrasing of what I've said.

[Colin Jost]

God damn it.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm a surprise.

[Colin Jost]

No, no, no, no, no. I know it. I know it. Listen, this is not an excuse. We wrapped at 10am this morning. I'm not on a ton of sleep.

[Seth Meyers]

It's called from this. He shot one of these till 10 in the morning.

[Colin Jost]

We do him with June squib. It took a long time. It's not. It's not ski shooting. That's a totally different thing.

[Seth Meyers]

Ski shooting.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, oh, oh, okay, give me a hint. Is there a hint?

[Seth Meyers]

So what is it called when you run, bike and swim?

[Colin Jost]

Triathlon? Snow Athlon.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, wow. No, it's just called a biathlon.

[Colin Jost]

It's called the biathlon.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Isn't that weird?

[Colin Jost]

It shouldn't be called the biathlon. A biathlon should just be running and swimming or running and biking.

[Seth Meyers]

It's crazy that the triathlon. You would think the biathlon is just two minus one.

[Colin Jost]

Who did this?

[Seth Meyers]

Do you want. Can I give a question to the producers? Can I give a bonus question if he doesn't get the first one?

[Colin Jost]

Yes. I think there's a room. We can do it.

[Seth Meyers]

Full of producers all very upset. They said, go from the top. That's the easy one. What country has dominated Olympic biathlon historically, winning more medals than any other?

[Colin Jost]

I mean, it's gotta be like Switzerland.

[Seth Meyers]

Switzerland. It doesn't have to be.

[Colin Jost]

Would it be Russia?

[Seth Meyers]

Norway?

[Colin Jost]

Norway. Well, that. That sucks.

[Seth Meyers]

You want another one?

[Colin Jost]

No, no, no, no, no. Listen. Because otherwise it's just like, you know, sometimes.

[Seth Meyers]

Listen, this is where really the tables are turned. I was so worried about Mr. Jeopardy. And me, and I've gotten all mine. Right. And you're over too.

[Colin Jost]

I remind my friends I am stupid. I am stupid. Annabelle likes to torture me and write questions that I. She's like, I don't think he knows this. Great. And I'm having a panic attack right now.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Do you ski? Do you guys ski?

[Seth Meyers]

We do.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we ski, but we ski like little New England mountains while the kids learn. But it's great. I love. I actually don't.

[Colin Jost]

You love it? You really love it?

[Seth Meyers]

No, I don't like skiing at all.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, it sucks.

[Seth Meyers]

But I love skiing with my children. I like having them on. I like having gravity push them without me having to.

[Colin Jost]

I like gravity pushing my kids, too. As long as I'm down the mountain and I'm sitting and having, like, an Old Fashioned while they ski towards me.

[Seth Meyers]

Where we go, it's on, like, state land, so there's no alcohol in the lodge. But with that said, it's like nine to noon. They do ski school. And I still can sit with my laptop, get work done, have a coffee. It's not bad.

[Colin Jost]

Okay. Because we go up to Whistler, which they encourage drinking. That is amazing. Whistler. Oh, my good. Good God. Okay. Hey, I'm going to ask Seth Meyers. Okay. Question number two. This subject is about the HBO prestige drama the Wire. The Wire?

[Seth Meyers]

Yes.

[Colin Jost]

The Wire focused on both the cops and the criminals. They were going after two of the cops, Bunk and McNulty, are part of an investigative unit for one point per member. Who else is in the unit?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. Sydnor.

[Colin Jost]

Which one? Oh, Sydnor. Yeah. Okay. He came in later.

[Seth Meyers]

Yep.

[Colin Jost]

Yep. Yeah. Wow. I didn't even put Sydnor down. That's one point.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. Like, I mean, Dominic Lombardozzi, whoever. He played Seth Gillum, Herk and Carver. Yep.

[Colin Jost]

Clark, Peters, Daniels.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[Colin Jost]

That's. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Lester Freeman. Yeah. Lester Freeman. Yep.

[Colin Jost]

You got three more.

[Seth Meyers]

Sonja Sohn, character.

[Medical Ad Announcer]

Yes.

[Colin Jost]

Kima Greggs.

[Seth Meyers]

Kima Greggs.

[Colin Jost]

The.

[Seth Meyers]

The teacher. The guy who goes back to teacher.

[Colin Jost]

Jim True Presbylowski.

[Seth Meyers]

I can't remember any. I can only remember the actors.

[Colin Jost]

And who's the. Who's the smart guy?

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, I thought.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, no, no. Who's the main kind of authority figure?

[Seth Meyers]

Not Landsman. No, wait. Who's the main?

[Colin Jost]

Passed away a couple years ago. Great actor.

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, wait. How am I not thinking about who ran the unit?

[Colin Jost]

You'll be mad when you don't remember this.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Hold on, hold on. Who is it?

[Colin Jost]

Daniels.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God, that's it.

[Colin Jost]

By the great Lance Reddick Rest Gang. Hey, man, you got like, eight points on that one. So it's like nine to nothing right now. So you can chill for a bonus question. Yeah. Some of the main antagonists of the series were Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Who was number three in the Barksdale organization?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my goodness. Who was number three?

[Colin Jost]

And I have a hint that I don't think we'll give it away.

[Seth Meyers]

Was it Slim Charles?

[Colin Jost]

It was not Slim Charles.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

It was a guy who. He Got justice. He ended up in jail. And he is part of a pretty famous reaction.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah, A wee bay boom.

[Colin Jost]

Seth Meyers. You have, like, I don't know, what, 10 points? Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, great.

[Colin Jost]

That is ridiculous that you're beating me by that much. It's not cool. I was so happy when you said the Wire was one of your categories. And normally I spend like a couple hours kind of writing these questions for guests. And this took me like six hours because I just watched so many wire clips on YouTube, just for hours and hours.

[Seth Meyers]

So I remember when the Wire premiered, I loved the show. Homicide Life on the Streets.

[Colin Jost]

Yes, you were.

[Seth Meyers]

I was an early, early nerd for that show and used to rewatch it when it aired on whatever. What was like the Sci Fi Channel, but for, like, Sleuth. Sleuth, Yeah, I used to watch it on Sleuth. And so I was so excited that a show with David Simon's involvement was happening. And I remember also that first scene was just McNulty and a guy in the street. And they're talking about how a guy got killed named, like, Snot Boogie or something. And it's just this great, like, three minute scene. And then it said directed by Clark

[Colin Jost]

Peters, who played Mel Dream Homicide.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, Taylor. On the Wire. And on Homicide. Sorry. And I was just like, all in. And I feel like when I think about, like, shows where the cold open of the first episode made me realize a show that I have been waiting for is happening right now is the British Office. And that where it's like, oh, there's this. I'm gonna be here for the run of it.

[Colin Jost]

You got me into that. I bought all the DVDs. I loved it. What was your favorite season of the Wire? This is a big question.

[Seth Meyers]

I think it might be 3.

[Colin Jost]

Amsterdam.

[Seth Meyers]

The fall of Stringer Bell is, to me, just still great cinema.

[Colin Jost]

I was a Big four guy. It was so heartbreaking, but so good. More importantly, what is your favorite season opening theme song? Because every year, every season, the Wire did the same song, down in the Hole, which I think a Tom Waits song. And they had different singers and styles, I think.

[Seth Meyers]

Doesn't Tom Waits do season two? I feel like the original Waits does the doc.

[Colin Jost]

Steve Rule does the last one.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Colin Jost]

I was a big fan of four, which is like. It's a lady singing. Like when you walked in. That one was really good.

[Seth Meyers]

Very, very, very cool idea to have different people singing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Be cool if they did that for Cheers. There's like a hard rock one. Sometimes you Want. You know, it'd be kind of nice. What cast members of the Wire have you met?

[Seth Meyers]

IRL the most exciting was. I met Seth Gillum, Dominic McNulty, and Andre Rojo.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, Bubbles.

[Seth Meyers]

At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

[Colin Jost]

What?

[Seth Meyers]

Like, not when we were there. Like, I went back with Andrew Moscos, who started Boom Chicago, and they were literally doing an improv show there.

[Colin Jost]

Right? Those three guys? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And we. I went. It was after the first season had aired, and they were pretty. Like, they were not recognizable. And I went over, and I will say I geeked out so hard that at one point, Dominic west had been like, hey, we're gonna. And I was like, okay, yeah, I've overdone it.

[Colin Jost]

Sorry. Herc. You have the power to time travel, and you can control David Simon's mind. He's gonna create a character for you on the Wire. Okay, what is the character?

[Seth Meyers]

Be whatever you want. I think I'm kind of a sort of a d. A. ADA who's maybe a little incompetent, but, like, better at playing politics.

[Colin Jost]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Than Rhonda. Is that her name?

[Colin Jost]

Rhonda was the.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, you know, because I feel like the Wire needs people who are doing. Who are kind of, like, accelerating past what they're. I think I'd be good at playing, like, a sort of Weasley. Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

I have. I wrote down lawyer for myself, too. I would want to be, like, the Greeks lawyer.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that'd be good.

[Colin Jost]

Who, like, goes and, like, meets Frank Sabaca and, like, gives him, like, a. Like, a threat.

[Seth Meyers]

I think this is a great casting. I think I'm good as a lawyer who's, like, not good at being a lawyer, and I think you're a good lawyer for bad people.

[Colin Jost]

Yes, yes, that's exactly.

[Seth Meyers]

You're good at it.

[Colin Jost]

Okay, I'm gonna ask you your second question about the Wire.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

Season three of the Wire introduced a new bad guy, the terrifying Marlo Stanfield.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Marlo had two lieutenants.

[Seth Meyers]

Name one of Snoop.

[Colin Jost]

That's two points right there. Dude, you're beating me fucking 12 to nothing. This isn't cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, this is not.

[Colin Jost]

All right. Okay, well, here's your bonus question that you're not gonna get. You're not gonna get this one. In one of the most shocking moments in TV history, Omar Little is gunned down inside a Baltimore corner store. Who fires the fatal shot?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, it's that little fella.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. You're not gonna. I know his name, though. I can Give you a hint. I have a really funny hint if you want it.

[Seth Meyers]

What is it?

[Colin Jost]

His name kind of sounds like a longtime writer on SNL who's currently there.

[Seth Meyers]

I give up.

[Colin Jost]

Canard.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh. Boom. One of my favorite things about Kennard is when they put him into the police guard. You remember this moment? No. You know how cops push the head of the perp down so they don't bang their head? And they do it to him, even though he's so little. He wouldn't. And it's just. It's like the muscle memory.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. Ooh. What was the saddest death for you on the Wire?

[Seth Meyers]

What was the saddest death? Wallace.

[Colin Jost]

I have Wallace, too. I mean, I. I saw Michael B. At, like, the SAG Awards or whatever, and, like, whenever I see him, I'm just like. I just have to hug him.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Bodhi was a really sad death too, because Bo, like the last bastion of, like, in. You know. That was a really, really, really rough one. Also, Michael Jordan, I wrote down.

[Seth Meyers]

He's.

[Colin Jost]

He's friggin hot. Michael B. Jordan in real life, he's a hottie.

[Seth Meyers]

You don't see it on screen.

[Colin Jost]

No, no, no.

[Seth Meyers]

You met him in person.

[Colin Jost]

Met him in person. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Because I will say on screen.

[Colin Jost]

Ugly.

[Seth Meyers]

Flat. Everything flattens out.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, last question about the Wire. Is there a grosser accent in this country than Baltimore?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, you know, it's pretty.

[Colin Jost]

Bow wow.

[Seth Meyers]

I love Pittsburgh, obviously.

[Colin Jost]

You do, right?

[Seth Meyers]

That would be, I think, the argument and which. But again, the Pittsburgh accent, to me, is music.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, it's like a Chicago accent to me.

[Seth Meyers]

My, you know, my dad is very upset that the Pit, for all its success, there's literally no one.

[Colin Jost]

No one has a Pittsburgh accent.

[Seth Meyers]

I've explained it to him that if they were to have Pittsburgh accent, people bring their TVs back to best Buy and say, this one's all fucked up. Something's all fucked up with me.

[Colin Jost]

Hey, did you watch Task, by the way? Yeah, I just watched it.

[Seth Meyers]

Task is great.

[Colin Jost]

It was great.

[Seth Meyers]

It was great.

[Colin Jost]

That guy's a good actor.

[Seth Meyers]

That guy's a very good actor.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, my goodness.

[Seth Meyers]

And they're doing good. That's a good Philly. Nobody's pushing the Philly.

[Colin Jost]

No one's pushing it. It's just kind of there.

[Seth Meyers]

Yep.

[Colin Jost]

Okay. Speaking of good actors, it's my turn to ask. It's my turn for you to ask me a question. Question number eight.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a real bummer that you opened that with speaking to good Actors and then immediately flubbed your line. I'm gonna go middle of the thing.

[Colin Jost]

Because I feel like, do whatever you want, man. Do whatever you want.

[Seth Meyers]

The spirit absinthe was banned in the US from 1912 to 2007 because it supposedly caused hallucinations and madness, which isn't true. What is the main ingredient in absinthe?

[Colin Jost]

Wormwood.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I wouldn't have gotten that.

[Colin Jost]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Way harder than biathlon.

[Colin Jost]

Okay, so I'm on the board now.

[Seth Meyers]

You are.

[Colin Jost]

So I feel good. All right. We drank absinthe together. We did in London.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. And it was. For all the run up, it was just. It felt like just a drink.

[Colin Jost]

This was like in like 1999, when there was still a mythology about absinthe,

[Seth Meyers]

where they were a lot of like, we're gonna go to a place where you can get absinthe.

[Colin Jost]

Right. And I just remember it tasted bad. And I was just more drunk than I already was.

[Seth Meyers]

I wasn't like seeing drunk, but I was only one. I was only one drink drunker. You know what I mean? It didn't accelerate.

[Colin Jost]

It had. No. No.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we definitely pretty drunk, which maybe is not the plan.

[Colin Jost]

I was just in London last week. It's a. It's a. It's very hard to not be drunk in that city. Okay, I'm going to ask you a question, Seth Meyers, about your third category.

[Seth Meyers]

The Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Colin Jost]

The Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have won a record tying six Super Bowls. In those games, five men have won the super bowl mvp. Three in the seventies.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Bradshaw, Franco Harris and Lynn Stewart. Lyn Swan. Two or Lynn Swan. Not Lynn Stewart. Two have won it this century.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Who are the other two MVPs?

[Seth Meyers]

Hines Ward and Santonio Homes.

[Colin Jost]

I mean, come on, guys. Like, these are not easy questions.

[Seth Meyers]

I would have gotten the. The ones in the 70s for bonus.

[Colin Jost]

Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger have won multiple Super Bowls for the Steelers. And as the quarterback, who is the only other quarterback to start in a Super Bowl?

[Seth Meyers]

Neil o'. Donnell.

[Colin Jost]

Neil o'. Donnell. Guys, come on.

[Seth Meyers]

And he should have won it.

[Colin Jost]

This is a massacre. Who'd they play? The Cowboys.

[Seth Meyers]

Cowboys. And Neil Adonna, who had a great year. He was a very good quarterback. Two very bad interceptions to Larry Brown.

[Colin Jost]

To Larry Brown, the former Clippers coach.

[Seth Meyers]

I can't remember if both were pick sixes. One was pick six. Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

You grew up in New Hampshire.

[Seth Meyers]

I did.

[Colin Jost]

But your dad, Larry, Friend of the pod. Is a lifelong Steelers fan.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know if he's a friend of this, but he loves you. But I don't know if he's a friend of this.

[Colin Jost]

I think he would like.

[Seth Meyers]

I also want to say something, and I don't want to be a dick about it, but you said the Steelers have won a record tying six Super Bowls. The Steelers won six Super Bowls. First. Someone else tied the record.

[Colin Jost]

Okay, man, we get it. You like the team.

[Seth Meyers]

What about Larry? What were you saying?

[Colin Jost]

So he's a Steelers fan.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, he is.

[Colin Jost]

Were you ostracized growing up in New England for supporting the Patriots? Not like their rival, but a rivalry?

[Seth Meyers]

I feel like as a child of the 70s and the Patriots, we lived in Michigan for a little bit, and then we lived in New England. And the Lions were really bad when we lived there, and then the Patriots were really bad until, like, 1986 in

[Colin Jost]

which we handed them their asses.

[Seth Meyers]

But a lot of kids were either Cowboys or Steelers fans, so to be honest, there was no. We were not living. I think if you'd grown up in the 2000s, the 2010s, it would have been a little bit more. You were ostracized.

[Colin Jost]

Who was your favorite? Steeler as a boy? And by that I mean not when they were a boy, but when you were a boy.

[Seth Meyers]

That's great. Thank you for calling.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, I just.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Because I was gonna say young Elsie Greenwood, but I did not care for who he grew into. I think as a kid, the mythology of Mean Joe Green.

[Colin Jost]

Mean Joe Green had to be. The Steelers were originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the baseball team was like, what the fuck? Not gonna have two Pirates a minute. They call themselves the Rooney Men. You know this because their owner was Mickey Rooney.

[Seth Meyers]

Mm. Mm.

[Colin Jost]

That's what I have here in my notes.

[Seth Meyers]

Pretty sure it was. Pretty sure it was art.

[Colin Jost]

It is funny calling them that. At one point they were like, we'll just go with the Rooney Men.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

It's like if I had a sports team. It's like the Barinholtz Boys. Why would it be the Cardinals? Yeah. The Myers men? All time favorite Steelers.

[Seth Meyers]

Troy Palomalu.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Mine is that same team. I. And I've kind of become, like, online friends with James Harrison.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God.

[Colin Jost]

Who's so cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Love, James.

[Colin Jost]

He sent me and Dave Stassen some of his hoodies. He's got this company called Debo. Like, he's. Do you follow him on Instagram?

[Seth Meyers]

No, but I've seen some of his videos.

[Colin Jost]

He's really good. It's just him, like, bench pressing, like, hundreds and hundreds of Pounds. And then he goes and gets acupuncture and the acupuncturist. I'm not exaggerating. Puts like a hundred needles in him because he's so massive and big. You got some real big time celebrity Steeler fans. The Morris sisters. Obviously they own the team. That'd be funny if they were like, where's Jacksonville?

[Seth Meyers]

Although they're a little bit. I think if you pressed either of them, they're more giants. Yeah. Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Really? Both.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, they're. Yeah, they're mom's side of the family is giants.

[Colin Jost]

Wiz Khalifa.

[Seth Meyers]

Wiz Khalifa.

[Colin Jost]

Black and yellow. Personal favorite of yours, Rush Limbaugh.

[Seth Meyers]

Huge. Yep.

[Colin Jost]

He's right now he's looking up and enjoying watching your scouting. Verne Schroyer, AKA Mini Me.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Colin Jost]

Another good friend of yours, Christina Aguilera.

[Seth Meyers]

I didn't know that one either.

[Colin Jost]

John Grisham.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that's exciting.

[Colin Jost]

That's pretty cool. And the God, the absolute boy, our friend Michael Keaton.

[Seth Meyers]

Keaton.

[Colin Jost]

The biggest. He's got to be the biggest.

[Seth Meyers]

Like most Snoop Dogg.

[Colin Jost]

Wait, who?

[Seth Meyers]

Snoop?

[Colin Jost]

Snoop is a Steelers fan. How did that happen?

[Seth Meyers]

I think, by the way, Same thing.

[Colin Jost]

Same thing. 70s.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Joe Manganiello.

[Colin Jost]

Joe Manganiello?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

My Joe Manganiello.

[Seth Meyers]

Your Joe.

[Colin Jost]

Here's a bonus question.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

The Steelers record for the most rushing touchdowns in a season is Franco Harris with 14. Three other players are tied for second with 13. Name em. Oh, wow, this is a tough one. I knew two of these.

[Seth Meyers]

Barry Foster.

[Colin Jost]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

Bam Morris.

[Colin Jost]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

Willie Parker. Yes. Jarumbettis.

[Colin Jost]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

And James Conner?

[Colin Jost]

No. I think he was the next one.

[Seth Meyers]

Hold on. Um, I want to get it. Do you have a year?

[Colin Jost]

No, I'm going to say he was like 2006 ish. 7 ish. I think he was right after Willie Parker. Maybe. Maybe the starting running back after Willie Parker or before. But right around that same time.

[Seth Meyers]

Mendenhall.

[Colin Jost]

Yes. Richard Mendenhall. That's pretty amazing.

[Seth Meyers]

I tried to go for deep cuts first, but I got.

[Colin Jost]

They made this movie. David O. Russell made this John Madden movie where Nic Cage is playing John Madden and Christian Bale is playing Al Davis. If you can produce a movie about the Steelers, what era is it about? Who are you casting? What's up?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, there's one of the great sports books of all time is three bricks shy of a load by Roy Blunt Jr. Who is this great?

[Colin Jost]

Sure.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah. Golden era of long profile Sports Illustrated writers. And he covered the Steelers the year before. They won the Super Bowl. And so three brick shy of a load was basically, this team is just this close to being the team. And so that Steelers team was so full of personalities. But the most interesting time. It's a little bit like how. I feel like if you had made a documentary or. Sorry, a movie about us, you'd want to make it about our Amsterdam years. Because it was like, the percolation.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And so that would be it.

[Colin Jost]

I think they should make a movie about us. I think they should make a movie. They're making a movie right now about the Beatles. Sam Mendes has made four separate movies. I think they should do that. About me and you and your brother and our friend Jill Benjamin. Yeah, four different. But we play our other. I play you.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, interesting.

[Colin Jost]

Josh plays Jill. You didn't see that coming, did you? I didn't think so. If you couldn't be a Steelers fan and you couldn't be a Pats fan, because that's the area. From what team would you root for?

[Seth Meyers]

I think it would be exciting just on that. Again, also being a Red Sox fan and like the. Nothing will feel better than the 2004 World Series. I think you'd want to get in on the ground floor of the Bills or the Lions.

[Colin Jost]

The answer was actually the Bears.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

But sure.

[Seth Meyers]

I kind of don't. You guys are a lot.

[Colin Jost]

What? We're a lot.

[Seth Meyers]

You're a lot.

[Colin Jost]

We're a lot. Yeah, we're a lot. You're saying Bears fans are a lot, even.

[Seth Meyers]

No, I'm saying you and Stassen and Hayes and the people that I would. I already consort with are a lot, and you don't need another guy to watch games.

[Colin Jost]

You're telling me that we're a lot and you are a Red Sox fan?

[Seth Meyers]

I'm. By the way, I'm not saying you should be a Red Sox fan. I know we're a lot.

[Colin Jost]

You are a lot.

[Seth Meyers]

100% a lot.

[Colin Jost]

Seth Meyers, are you ready for the speed round?

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, don't I get to ask you another question?

[Colin Jost]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Seth Meyers, ask me question number three,

[Seth Meyers]

because I was really impressed with how quickly you recovered.

[Colin Jost]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, here we go. In the 20th century, this is a good segue.

[Commercial Announcer]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

In the 20th century, American football was so violent that around a dozen college players died every year.

[Colin Jost]

Jesus.

[Seth Meyers]

Making Americans outraged by the sport, nearly banning it for good. Which US President stepped in making safety reforms to save the sport instead of banning it. You said the 20s, I said the 20th century.

[Colin Jost]

20th century.

[Seth Meyers]

I was less specific than that.

[Colin Jost]

So who was the president that bridged the Leatherhead era to the modern helmet? Oh, God. I mean, usually, like, good things around that time were done by fdr, but I'm gonna say it was. No, no, no. It was before fdr. It was probably Hoover cool Hardy Wilson. Hold on. Well, let's just go through the fucking presidents.

[Seth Meyers]

George Washington, he was. It helped. Here's my hint. I'm gonna give you a different.

[Colin Jost]

Give me a hint.

[Seth Meyers]

He was a bully.

[Colin Jost]

Teddy Roosevelt. They were. They had helmets. I thought, like, that was later. I thought that was more like they were then. Helmets didn't really come into play until, like, the 20s or even the 30s.

[Seth Meyers]

No, I think. I think leather helmets. When you look back, if you see a leather helmet, it feels like Teddy Roosevelt. Eric.

[Colin Jost]

I guess so.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

I'm a big Teddy Roosevelt fan.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I know.

[Colin Jost]

God, that.

[Seth Meyers]

That.

[Colin Jost]

That. That's a tough one, though. That's a tough one. I really. That's a tough question. I really. I mean, it's a good question. It's. You know what I call that question? Tough but fair.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

God, those Roosevelts did everything good in that era. All the presidents around them, dog shit. Those two guys did good things.

[Seth Meyers]

You. I do want to Note, of your three questions, 0 for 2 on sports and crushed the alcohol question.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. First of all, that last question is not a sports question. That's a fucking presidential question. And the biathlon, I'm sorry, that's not sports. That's leisure activities.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay?

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. No one's got it.

[Seth Meyers]

Norway.

[Colin Jost]

Seth Meyers, are you ready for the speed round? Speed round, Seth Meyers. Here's how the speed round works, okay? I'm gonna ask you a bunch of questions. You answer as many as you can in 90 seconds, okay? If you don't know the answer, say pass. If you get it right, I will say yes. If you get it wrong, I will say no. And I will tell you the correct answers you got wrong at the end of the round. Are you ready to go?

[Seth Meyers]

Yes.

[Colin Jost]

[Colin Jost]

This man is the Steelers all time leader in field goals.

[Seth Meyers]

Chris Boswell.

[Colin Jost]

No. To finish the quote.

[Seth Meyers]

Is you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?

[Colin Jost]

Yes. He killed Superman.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. Pass.

[Colin Jost]

Steelers coach Mike Tomlins famously said the standard is the standard. Yes. Who was the mayor of Baltimore before Tommy Caretti? Royce. Yes. Oh, my God. Oh my God. Dude, dude, dude. Okay, real quick, finish your quote you got right. Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy.

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, hold on. Give me. I know this doesn't count, but give me. Go by one more time.

[Colin Jost]

He killed Superman.

[Seth Meyers]

Like Apocalypto or something.

[Colin Jost]

Close. Doomsday. This man is the Steelers all time leader in field goals.

[Seth Meyers]

Gary Anderson.

[Colin Jost]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Fuck.

[Colin Jost]

This super villain hails from the planet Korugar. He's a Green Hornet villain. Sinestro.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

Who was Frank Sabaca's rival who kickstarted season two?

[Seth Meyers]

Major.

[Colin Jost]

Stan Valczyk.

[Seth Meyers]

I knew it was Polish.

[Colin Jost]

This man holds the Steelers career record for sacks as T.J. watt. He was in police major. Who oversaw Amsterdam in season three of the Wire.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a bunny.

[Colin Jost]

Bunny Colvin. Incredible job. Incredible job I have to do. Basically do like a generational run here.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

All right, all right, all right. Lay it on me. When you're ready, we will start the clock.

[Seth Meyers]

What? 2021. Reddit driven short squeeze cost hedge funds billions of dollars.

[Colin Jost]

No.

[Commercial Announcer]

Stop.

[Seth Meyers]

What aircraft did Charles Lindbergh fly on the first 1926? Only Vice US Vice President to resign over criminal charges in the 70s. What breed dethroned? The Labrador is the AKC's number one dog in 2022.

[Colin Jost]

Bishhu.

[Seth Meyers]

Who? Wrong. Only US state that borders just one other.

[Colin Jost]

Florida.

[Seth Meyers]

Who Wrong? Who reached the south pole first in December 1911? Kendrick Lamar's 2024 German Drake diss track that hit.

[Colin Jost]

They're not like us.

[Seth Meyers]

What? June 1942 naval battle turned the tide of the Pacific World country added to NATO in March 2024. Its 32nd Ukraine. Who wrong. Sportswear giant founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon sports champion. Wrong. Who wrote the Seagull? Uncle Vanya and the Cherry Orchard.

[Colin Jost]

That is Truman.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes.

[Colin Jost]

Okay. I didn't. I can hold my head high, I think. What were the ones I got wrong?

[Seth Meyers]

U.S. state. The board is just one other Maine country added to NATO. 2024. Sweden.

[Colin Jost]

Sweden.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Sportswear giant Nike.

[Colin Jost]

Nike.

[Seth Meyers]

Three stars in Orion's belt. And Susan B. Anthony was a three

[Colin Jost]

stars in Orion's belt.

[Seth Meyers]

You make a big deal. Not even a belt.

[Colin Jost]

Nothing.

[Seth Meyers]

So if somebody looked up there back in the day and, like, that's a

[Colin Jost]

belt, you know, that reminds me of a belt. What is a belt? What holds up my tunic? It would be more.

[Seth Meyers]

But I guess that's the thing. I mean, if you had a pair of pants with three belt loops, you'd be like, this isn't. This isn't enough.

[Colin Jost]

You would be incredibly skinny.

[Seth Meyers]

I want to come back. I really like this.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, you like.

[Seth Meyers]

I want people to know that I came in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I also am the kind who can admit when I was wrong.

[Colin Jost]

Mindy Kaling came in, hated it at first, and by the time she left, still hated it. So there you go, Seth Meyers. You have really done your family proud.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

No one leaves this show without a gift.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, really?

[Colin Jost]

And we have a little something for you, my friend. Thank you, my dear. This is for you.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a dead bird, you guys. So you went out and got it.

[Colin Jost]

We kind of gleaned where it was based off of your conversation. What do we got here?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my.

[Colin Jost]

We have a nice T shirt.

[Seth Meyers]

You come at the King.

[Colin Jost]

You come at the King.

[Seth Meyers]

You best. You best not miss.

[Colin Jost]

And this is good. I think this is for next year's Met Gala.

[Seth Meyers]

Yep. Rest in peace, Michael K. Williams.

[Colin Jost]

Rest in peace, Michael K. Williams. Anna Winter just mentioned the other night that sees the next Met Gala. The theme is the Wire or, like,

[Seth Meyers]

just street T shirts. Shirts you'd get outside of stores. Shirts hung on hangers outside of New York bodegas.

[Colin Jost]

Hannah Winter shows up in a red I heart New York T shirt.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, she's doing no, she's doing the Lennon arrest photo.

[Colin Jost]

She's the only one that says new. Yuck. Shitty.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that's good.

[Colin Jost]

That's a good one. Seth Meyers, you're my friend and you've beat me.

[Seth Meyers]

You're my friend. I love you. This is wonderful.

[Colin Jost]

You're the greatest.
