I Just Learned The Surprising Story Behind Why Seth Meyers Started 'Day Drinking' On Late Night

Seth Meyers stands behind a bar and stares straight at the camera. He is wearing a maroon button down shirt.

James Corden had “Carpool Karaoke,” which was so popular it even acted as a dating service for some celebs. Kelly Clarkson had “Kellyoke.” David Letterman had a "Top 10" list and “Stupid Pet Tricks.” Jimmy Fallon has more viral segments in his late night repertoire than I could name, though I’m partial to “Classroom Instruments.” And Seth Meyers has “Day Drinking,” what is undoubtedly hilarious but is the red-headed stepchild of viral TV sketches as it also involves him passing out in the hallway of his home sometimes. How did all this get started, anyway?

They latched onto the idea of day drinking, but the original concept was very different, as Seth Meyers recently told the Late Night audience.
