Seth Meyers explains why he had Netflix add a "Skip Politics" button for his Netflix special

USA Today

There's only seven minutes of political material that viewers can easily skip over in Meyers' new Netflix special. "I was aware certainly that it's a far less political special than what I do here every day, and I thought it was a nice way to respond to those who would complain about people who do politics in their comedy," he tells USA Today. "That's a box we tick here every night, and I think it's very hard to do comedy and politics with a four-month lead time." He adds: "Ultimately, most of the jokes in that seven minutes are jokes about my relationship to the current president, as opposed to jokes about the current president. ...   But a lot of people in my Twitter feed, people who are not fans of this iteration of Late Night, say they wish I would skip politics. So it is, in some way, a response to that." ALSO: Seth Meyers: Lobby Baby is sweet, endearing wash of cuteness that proves Meyers is the consummate "Wife Guy."
