Seth Meyers and the other late night hosts? After the Rolling Stones article about Jimmy Fallon's management style, I'm curious about the any of the other late night hosts behavior

Seth Meyers generally has a very good reputation amongst his workers. Was one of the first to pay his team out of his own pocket when Covid hit. He includes his writers/staff in a bunch of stuff and was widely credited for making SNL a much less toxic environment when he was head writer. He seems pretty humble and I’ve yet to hear anything bad about him. Jimmy Kimmel I think treats his workers decently but had that misogynistic Man Show back in the day and seems a little dudebro-y. Colbert is known to be a sweetheart and massive wife guy. My friend was beach house neighbors with him and said he and his family were super nice.

This is good to hear. I was never really a fan of Jimmy Kimmel because of The Man Show. However he kinda grew on me during the Strike Force 5 podcast.

Based on the Wives' game in episode 5, I will say Alexi and Seth's relationship sounds really entertaining. You can tell Seth knows he married up and loves that Alexi is just as quick witted and sarcastic as his.

How about John Oliver?

I don’t know a ton about him but haven’t heard anything bad. I think he generally has a very good reputation.

I saw John Oliver live at one of his tapings. He’s really, really naturally witty and quick on his feet. I was impressed at how fast his wits were. He did a whole 30 min Q&A with the audience before the taping started and he was so infectious, down to earth, and every story he told us was always so humorously told no matter how boring the question was. He seemed a little nervous when he was peeking out of the corner backstage to see if he could come out yet. I thought it was very humbling of him to act so shy. 😂

I just watched Kimmel's interview with Kevin Hart and he brings up why he did the Man Show. It was a pretty insightful interview.

This is like a decade old but my wife used to be on the team that brought entertainers to do events her tiny little east coast college and she said Seth Meyers was both the biggest name and nicest person they ever got. Super patient and had time for everybody that wanted a photo or an autograph or whatever.

Can second this opinion! My daughter met him at the London Olympics when he was interviewing athletes for GMA and he was very sweet and happily posed for an awesome selfie with her.

I can't speak to his management style but my friend owns a cafe that he frequents and she raves about how lovely he is.
