Seth Meyers mocks Kash Patel, Ben McKenzie slams crypto, and more highlights from this week in late night TV.

AceShowbiz - This week in late night television, a blend of wit, cultural commentary, and unexpected moments kept audiences entertained across multiple shows.

Leading the pack, Seth Meyers delivered one of the sharpest observations in late night this week. During his monologue, he spotlighted an odd but telling moment involving Kash Patel, who bizarrely referred to the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team as his "friends." Seth Meyers notably highlighted the disconnect between Patel’s claim and reality, underscoring the absurdity with his characteristic mix of humor and critique.

Meanwhile, on The Daily Show, actor Ben McKenzie brought a fiery intensity to his anti-crypto campaign during an interview promoting his upcoming project, Everyone Is Lying to You for Money. McKenzie expressed a deep disdain for cryptocurrency, describing his stance as almost existential. His passionate critique resonated strongly, particularly alongside host Michael Kosta’s Earth Day-themed appeal for alternative energy.

Over on HBO, John Oliver made headlines again with a uniquely provocative closing to his Last Week Tonight monologue. In an effort to disrupt predictive betting markets for his own show, Oliver ended with a dramatic shower of dildos hurled toward him. The moment’s impact was amplified by the palpable sense that the props were thrown by his own staff, adding a layer of workplace humor and solidarity rarely seen on air.

The Daily Show also delivered incisive political satire through correspondent Ronny Chieng. The segment scrutinized a range of bizarre candidates vying for office in the current political climate, mocking figures from the liberal side like reality TV personality Luke Gulbranson to far-right anti-communists such as Spencer Pratt. Even peripheral figures like Michele Tafoya were not spared from the show’s sharp dissection.

On a lighter note, Jorma Taccone of The Lonely Island fame appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to share a hilarious revelation about the meaning of his name in Finnish. According to Taccone, his name has taken on a curious and risqué meaning — “huge hog” — which was not originally the case when he received it. This playful exchange between Jorma Taccone and Seth Meyers showcased the camaraderie and quick wit that often make their podcast and late-night appearances so enjoyable.

Finally, Bravo’s own Andy Cohen continues to cement his show, Watch What Happens Live, as a central hub for reality TV drama and confessions. This week, star Alicia Carmody from Real Housewives of Rhode Island openly discussed a distressing incident where she allegedly hit someone with her car. Her candid and self-incriminating remarks made for compelling television, revealing the raw and often chaotic nature of Bravo programming.
