Still taking heat after a week’s worth of technical difficulties and screw-ups, it looks like NBC finally did something right.
Look, it's @sethmeyers21 on the #NBC channel that isn't MSNBC or Bravo. #Olympics

The “SNL” star and “Weekend Update” host may have been just what the much-maligned network needed to garner some much-needed praise from viewers.

If NBC wants to end the #nbcfail, they should make @sethmeyers21 the lead anchor for all primetime coverage

Take note, NBC. You’re getting free advice.

@sethmeyers21 was great on NBCSN talking about Romney's wife's horse.
— agedavis (@agedavis) August 3, 2012
"When you say I don't know what my wife's horse is doing in the #Olympics, that is the longest way to say you have no idea how rich I am!"

The previous tweet is a quote from @sethmeyers21 discussing Mitt Romney and his wife's horse which is competing in Dressage at the #Olympics

Ugh. Seth, you’re an alleged comedian. Isn’t it time for some clever material? Give it a rest already.
