Transcription:

Matt: Kara, this is the biggest show I’ve ever done.

Kara: Ever.

Matt: Hands down.

Kara: Absolutely.

Matt: We have a dear friend of the show now, we’re best friends. You might know him from Weekend Update, The Awesomes on Hulu, Late Night with, and general big shot, Seth Meyers. Welcome.

Seth: Thank you, guys. I’m so happy to be on the podcast.

Kara: We’re delighted to have you as a guest.

Matt: Absolutely, and I think what’s like a hidden gem, nugget of knowledge for you, Seth, is that most people maybe don’t realize if they don’t watch your show, but you’re a comic fan.

Seth: I am.

Matt: I think it came out recently with Sana from Marvel on the show, but how did it start for you? Everyone knows their own story, but what’s your story with comic books?

Seth: You know, I can very clearly remember the first comic book I ever bought, this is back, I’m forty-two years old, so you’re listeners that are age appropriate will remember when you would just sort of buying them at the supermarket on the spinning rack. I remember I bought a Green Lantern comic, and I remember that, I could always trace it back because the next issue of the Green Lantern was him spiking his ring and saying he quit, this is right before John Stewart took over from Hal Jordan, but I remember thinking, “I can’t believe I got into comics and a month later Green Lantern quits.” Terrible timing.
