Writers, producers, and star of NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers (Seth Meyers, Mike Shoemaker, Sal Gentile, Alex Baze, Amber Ruffin, and Jenny Hagel) gather with moderator Meredith Blake at PaleyFest LA 2020 to celebrate their show. Topics include: how the show has evolved since its 2014 debut; the writers' attempt to balance material between comedy and serious issues; the extensive research that goes into writing each "A Closer Look" segment; Meyers' reaction to shooting the show in his attic due to the pandemic; how the best-selling novel "The Thorn Birds" became a running joke for skits; Ruffin's response, following the death of George Floyd, to having opened the show with her recollections as a black woman being harassed by police; and the lessons Meyer learned from his days on "Saturday Night Live." #paleycenter #paleyfest Subscribe to Paley Center on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/paleycenter?sub_confirmation=1
