One of our favorite personalities Mark Hamill tells some old Star Wars stories and in the process does a stern, no-nonsense Harrison Ford. The guy also has a pretty awesome twitter presence, like the time he roasted ridiculous Luke Skywalker action figures.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds have been busy absolutely destroying the press tour for Life, by providing an endless procession of hilariously candid bromance-fueled interviews. The dudes cannot be stopped, and the chemistry between the two is next level. As a fan of both these guys and their work, I'm just so damn happy Hollywood finally brought 'em together; because I think we're witnessing the prelude to an epic talk show, with them as our hosts. Oh please, please, let it happen. 

So it's been another insane week in Trump's America. And as he juggles both the collapsing GOP Obamacare replacement and a massive Russia scandal, we're left trying to figure out what the hell is going on. 

It's such a relief that Seth Meyers is able to sum these things up in about 10 minutes because who knew healthcare could be this complicated? Check out his latest "A Closer Look" segment, which basically tracks how Trump went from talking about healthcare to honking a truck horn like a big boy.

Yesterday started with Trump reminding everyone that Lincoln was a republican and ended with the another major Trump connection to Russia.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg because yesterday was so batshit crazy. While everyone was talking about Trump's go-nowhere wiretapping claim that we're still wasting our time with, another major Russia story burst, with evidence indicating that the former Trump campaign chair has been working to aide Putin since 2006. These guys can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar. 

Ew, boy. This is a lot. I'd watch the video and get a little sugar with that medicine. 

Yesterday was fun, right? The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the FBI admitted that the president of the United States was under investigation for colluding with a foreign power. Spring has sprung.

Now, this is a complex issue, and who knows what will come of it. After all, it's not ever day that a White House official admits that they've been secretly meeting with Russian ambassadors and lying about it. Well, unless it's this White House. Thankfully, Seth Meyers has been doing a great job of unpacking this whole mess and does it with jokes. 

Laughter, it's all we have left. 

Donald Trump lies all the time. He was practically elected to lie all the time. Sean Spicer is in danger of breaking a finger from air quoting the president's words all the time. Someone help this man and his poor finger.

Thankfully, detective Seth Meyers, private eye, took the time to pour over the news, write a few jokes, and get to the bottom of this mess that will soon be our lives. Watch him take on his bullshit healthcare bill, jobs report, and wiretapping claims, finally making Trump funny again... as oppose to just terrifying. 

In case you haven't noticed, having a reality-TV gameshow host as president is a total nightmare in which everyday brings a brand-new, equally terrifying nightmare. 

The past two weeks have been exceptionally fun because the president has been on a real tear. First, he tweeted out some conspiracy theories about Barack Obama because he misses asking the former president for his birth certificate. Then, the GOP released Trumpcare and everyone hates it because it's awful. 

But rather than listen to me rattle on and on about it, why not take 10 minutes and watch Seth Meyers destroy both these things, as he is wont to do. It's a nice warm blanket to get you through the cold nightmare of reality. 

Another day, another Trump-cabinet member busted for talking to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.  

Over the past few days, we learned that United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the man Correta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr, said was too racist to serve, met with Kislyak and then lied under oath about it in his Senate confirmation hearing. Man, these guys are so bad at this. Hoo boy.

This thing's really blowing up, so here to deflate it is Seth Meyers.

In this Closer Look, he examines the crazy, Russian-filled two days that were. Also, a lot of Trump people talking into microphones and not knowing how to talk. 

1,000 years ago, when President Donald Trump (that reality-TV gameshow host who gets to address to Congress now) made his first address to Congress, the media was struck by how "normal" Trump sounded. 

As stupid as all that was, even now in light of the fact that Attorney General Sessions lied during his Senate Confmation hearing, Trump's tone wasn't fooling many — especially Seth Meyers. 

Check out his take on the new normal, Trump style.

I've mentioned before that I love a good group of constituents yelling at their elected officials. Hey, it's what our tax dollars are for. So it brings me great joy to present this Closer Look segment from Late Night with Seth Meyers, in which Seth shows off a whole bunch of thsoe videos and makes jokes about them. Plus, some great knocks at Trump for playing so much golf. But hey, reality-TV gameshow hosts be golfin'. 

Over the weekend, as I'm sure you heard, that reality-TV gameshow host who clearly isn't here to make friends, told the crowd at his campaign rally that there was a terror attack in Sweden. 

Of course, that never actually happened, and he was just regurgitating what he heard on Fox News the night before. This is what happens when you turn down intelligence briefings and have to have them dumbed down anyway. 

This continues to play into our hypnotic pinwheel of a president's idea of truth, which is currently putting everyone on Earth's life at risk. So thankfully, Seth Meyers and his team wrote some jokes to help the medicine go down.

The world was shaken and stirred yesterday after Trump's press conference, and like James Bond, we were still very concerned about Russia. But at least Seth Meyers was there to make sense of it. 

Things are going from white to orange to Red over at the White House, what with these newly discovered contacts between Russia and Trump's campaign last year. So why don't you sit back, take a big swig of that Mountain Dew Code Red, and let Seth Meyers make a really bizarre series of events very funny. 

It's been a crazy 24 hours for fans of journalism, the phrase "lock her up," Russian meddling, ill-timed phonecalls, and mass confusion. 

Yes, Michael Flynn has resigned after he spoke to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak about Obama's Russian sanctions a few weeks before Trump's inauguration. Then Trump tweeted:

Because these guys know how to commit a crime. Anyway, yesterday Flynn resigned and this mess is just getting started. Seth Meyers breaks it down for you.

Melania Trump, the woman married to that reality-TV gameshow host who's currently our president, recently appeared on Vanity Fair Mexico to promote being rich. And to promote being rich, she is seen on the cover eating a string of diamonds, and what the hell?

Yeah. This clip is funny and the cover is weird. So enjoy! 

From “the Closet Summit” to “Birdie Sanders,” the 2016 election was the never-ending nightmare that seems like it never ended. But it’s still worth a closer look, especially when Marco Rubio made allegations about not being able to trust people with small hands (among other things about small hands — man, 2016 really was awful).

Anyway, Seth Meyers recapped it all in his “Closer Look” segment. 12 months of horror in eight minutes of comedy. There are all those great things you forgot about, especially this:

Maybe it wasn’t all bad. Wait, yes, it was.
