Seth meyers’ ‘late Night’ Takes a Musical Turn with Sabrina Carpenter, Jack Black & Muppets
Despite a lack of traditional musical performances, Tuesday night’s episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers was deeply interwoven with the world of music, featuring appearances from Sabrina Carpenter and Jack Black, and a preview of an upcoming project with the Muppets.
The episode’s highlight was a segment of “Day Drinking” with Carpenter, a frequent guest on Saturday Night Live. The pair convened at New York City’s Ripple room for a playful game involving tough choices: answer a question or take a sip from a sizable Long Island Iced Tea. The segment included Carpenter playfully assessing Meyers’ appearance with a 7/10 rating and Meyers delivering a spirited rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” The duo also attempted a humorous challenge involving red light therapy masks and reading complex coffee orders – including a memorable request “for Osama Bin Laden” – without breaking character. A segment titled “Pet Sounds,” where they imitated animal noises, further cemented the show’s musical adjacency.
Black, promoting his new film Anaconda, used his appearance too reflect on his admiration for the late director Rob Reiner. “There’s no School of Rock without spinal Tap,” Black stated,acknowledging the notable influence of the mockumentary on both his iconic film and his band Tenacious D. The conversation also revisited Black’s 2005 hosting gig on Saturday night Live, which coincided with the debut of “Lazy Sunday” by The Lonely Island.Meyers recalled that the song’s brilliance wasn’t instantly apparent,only becoming clear after receiving praise from Beck.
