Chris Fleming Ribs Seth Meyers Good in Latest Stop on Manic Late Night Tour

Chris Fleming is on one.

Weeks after making his late-night debut in memorably weird fashion on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian brought his manic act to NBC’s Late Night—leaving host Seth Meyers beside himself with laughter.

On the March 6 JKL, Fleming struggled to stay in his seat, whether he was kicking his white shoes up in Kimmel’s face, charging the camera to show off his chipped tooth, or looming over the host à la Jacob Elordi, for a smooch.

On Tuesday’s Late Night, Fleming—out promoting his HBO Max stand-up special, Live at the Palace—and Meyers were comparing their geographical origins (the former is from Massachusetts, the latter New Hampshire) when Fleming sharply segued to detail how they likely had “very different experiences” growing up.

“You were a prince, I was a witch,” Fleming started off, simply enough.

But when he remarked to Seth, “I bet you broke a lot of hearts on the National Honor Society,” it quickly became clear that we were off to the races.

“I can see every horse girl in the tri-state area honking on their bari sax, pretending it’s young Seth Meyers,” the comic said, miming something pretty R-rated, complete with sound effects.

Assaying Meyers’ looks, Fleming quipped, “You’ve got those Paul Newman eyes, and the Ethan Frome neck”—a rare late-night nod to the Edith Wharton novella we all had to read in middle school. “[Seth has] got that Adam’s apple that drives salutatorians [wild].”

“Every New England girly wants to sled to their death with Seth Meyers,” he barreled on, before shifting into old timey voices.

“Young goodman Meyers, come to me stable and let’s do some light hand stuff,” Fleming said in a falsetto. “Sorry, girls…,” he said in a nerdy Seth voice, “AP U.S. History is busting my butt.”

Closing out his roasting of the Late Night host, Fleming suggested the slogan “Seth Meyers in the streets, Nancy Meyers in the sheets.”

Meanwhile in his own hometown of Stow, Fleming sighed, “there were just trying to find the most humane way to put me down.”

Fleming then leaped out of his chair and darted across the set, to mug close-up for the camera (akin to what he did on Kimmel’s program), and race right back. As Fleming returned to the guest chair, Meyers’ made clear his appreciation of the bit, mumbling, “No one has ever…. Oh my god,” while holding his red face in his hands.
