Seth said in interviews last year that he began doing stand-up again after finding out he got "Late Night" to get him ready for doing monologues. Clearly it isn't working, as his monologues are getting worse. (imo) At this point I only watch (on Hulu) if there is a guest I like, and only after fast-forwarding until their segment. I skip the monologue, the "comedy" bits, hell, even past Fred's little improv'd discussions about What Fred's Involved With every night.
Speaking of which...don't do that bit EVERY night, do it one night a week, and make up different comedy bits for the other 4 nights. Much like Fallon does "Thank You Notes" on Fridays. (I think? I skip past his comedy bits now, too.) The last time I accidentally watched the "So, Fred, I heard you started a (insert lame improv topic HERE)..." I started improv-ing a story myself and completely ignored what they said.
New writers. This show needs new writers. Also new theme music. It sounds like something an 8th grader wrote after learning 4 chords on his guitar and deciding to start a band! in my garage, man!
Gah, I hate this show.
