The Sirius XM studios on 6th Avenue in Manhattan is a pretty cool place to visit if you ever get the opportunity.
Hoda Kotb of the Today show moderated a Sirius Town Hall with Seth Meyers that proved to be a lot more interesting then I had anticipated.
Seth Meyers, who is best known for his stint on Saturday Night Live and more recently as the host of Late Night, proved to be down to earth, funny, and charming. I knew of Hoda and Kathi Lee however not much else about Hoda and I found the tall beauty to be an excellent host and very entertaining.
I was at Sirius because the Town Hall format allows preselected questions from the audience.
I was surprised that I was invited to attend, and even more surprised that I was allowed to ask my question.
“Seth, who do you miss more- Johnny Carson, Joan Rivers, or Eric the Actor?”
My son tells me that when I got to “Eric the Actor” Mr. Meyers chuckled but the question then allowed him to riff on how much he was a fan of the late great, gone too soon, Joan Rivers.
I do not watch a lot of late night talk show television, but when I have caught Seth Meyers on occasionally I have usually found his monologue to be hilarious. He is one funny guy and, while I liked him before, after yesterday I became a big fan.
A surreal moment occurred after the interview as we were on line to take a photo with Seth when Snoop Dogg and his entourage walked through and Snoop shook hands then stopped to take a photograph with Meyers.
That’s the photo I want.
