As Twitchy told you earlier, the DOJ has announced that the Mueller report will be released (with redactions) this Thursday. In honor of the occasion, Seth Meyers will make that night’s edition of his late-night show longer to accommodate what will no doubt be a characteristically sharp analysis of the report:
NBC says Late Night With Seth Meyers will expand to 90 minutes on Thursday night "to give context to the redacted version of the Mueller report becoming public earlier in the day." (There's also an interview with Pete Buttigieg and a Game of Thrones recap with Leslie Jones.) pic.twitter.com/sprrngX5TQ

Well, thank goodness for Seth Meyers. Where would America be without him?
What would America do without the Seth Meyers version of the Mueller Report????

Those eight people and Seth's mom are in for a hell of a show.

Oh, no doubt.
If you add 30 minutes to a 60 minute show that no one watches, does it make a sound?

We’re note sure, but we look forward to all the real media firefighters kicking him around for pretending to journalism.
I have to assume Seth Meyers' show is not staffed with experienced legal observers, or fact-checkers, or any of the benefits of NBC's actual newsroom. He isn't held to the same ethical constraints journalists are. This treatment of comedians as pseudo-newsmen is not a good idea.

It'll fun to watch the people who insisted the attorney general could not have read and digested a 400-page legal document in 48 hours sharing clips of a comedian giving his informed take, what, six hours later?
