Hes a fantastic comedian and friend of ours, joe pera is back on the show tonight. Before i got to all our fantastic guests you guys all know what a casserole is. A casserole is a meal where you throw a bunch of different kinds of food into one dish. And you sort of cook it up and what you get is just what you get. Well, the reason i bring this up is we here at late night come up with tons of different ideas all the time for the show. And many of these ideas are not quite enough to be a full sketch, a full meal, if you will. So instead of just throwing all those ideas away we thought wed throw them together, casserolestyle, in a segment were calling late night casserole. [ cheers and applause ] seth so here you go. Halfbaked ideas that cannot sustain a full piece. First up, if you have tv you probably heard of cspan, the Public Television network that broad casts live coverage of u. S. Government proceedings across the country. Theres cspan 1 and 2 which covers the u. S. House and senate, plus cspan3 which shows Live Public Affairs events. Well, one of my writers wondered, what if there were other cspan channels . So, heres a segment that were calling, other cspan channels. Seth so heres a channel. Cspan 4, its a live feed of the cameraman who shoots the live feed for cspan 1. The chair will entertain requests for oneminute speeches. For what purpose is the gentle lady of north carolina, seek recognition . Id like to address the house for one minute, mr. Speaker. Seth pretty good, right . And then i said to the writer, thats great whats the next one . He said, i dont have a next one. Thats how you get in the casserole. Moving on. Are you guys familiar with the new abc show designated survivor . Anybody seen designated survivor . For those who havent designated survivor stars Keifer Sutherland as the secretary of housing and urban development who is thrust into the presidency after the u. S. Capitol building explodes during the state of the union address. You see keifers character was safely watching the state of the union because he was the designated survivor should something happen to the president and all the other members of the cabinet. Well, one of our writers thought it would be funny if we here at late night also had a lets check in on him now. Hi, richard. Seth, hey, how are you, did your studio blow up . Seth no, no, it didnt. Think it will blow up . Seth probably not. Oh. Okay. Well, if it blows up, im here. Seth okay. And where are you exactly, richard . Im in a mens dressing room at banana republic. Seth okay. Well, bye, buddy. Okay, byebye. Seth now, as you may recall, back in march of this year, president obama made his last nomination to the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. You might also recall that republicans refused to consider garland for the job. And now with just a little over a month left before the beginning of trumps presidency chances are Merrick Garland will never be a Supreme Court justice. So many people are wondering what would Merrick Garlands next career move be . One of our writers thought he would be the perfect host of a prank show called merricked. Check it out. All right, well, heres your check. Thank you. And you know what we had this extra apple pie in the kitchen, i thought why not give to it you on the house . Wow, that is so nice, thank you. Oh. Actually, you dont get to have this pie. Wait, why . Thats right. Im Merrick Garland and you just got merricked. You, see those cameras right over there . And theres one right over there. We gave you a really nice thing then we took it away from you just like that. Bet you kinda of felt like you deserved that pie, right . Bet you feel like you worked long and hard for that pie . Well, you dont get to have that pie because we dont always get what we want in life. Now some other undeserving bastard is going to get your pie and all you can do is sit back and say that was supposed to be my pie. That was supposed to be my pie. That was supposed to be my pie. That was supposed to be my pie. [ applause ] seth all right, so that was half an idea. Merricked. Our next casserole idea seth, seth . Seth its our designated survivor richard kind. Yes, richard . Seth, listen, did your studio blow up . Did everybody die . Am i the host now . Seth no. Oh. Okay. Seth okay. Okay. [ laughter ] hey, seth seth yeah . Listen. Seth yeah . You seen la la land yet . Seth have i seen the movie la la land, no i havent. The movie la la land. Seth no, i havent seen it. No, me neither. I hear its wonderful. Very colorful. In fact, im wearing these colors because when i do see it in the future, i want to be a big fan of la la land. Seth so youre wearing bright colors so that youll like the movie more . In the hopes of enjoying it. Seth all right, well, good talking to you, richar seth byebye. Seth now im sure youve heard of shows like talking dead or talking bad. These are talk show that come on immediately after a show like the walking dead or breaking bad. Where they talk about what just happened in that episode.

Seth and finally a zoo in texas has set up a gift registry expecting a baby. And if youre curious what they want from crate and barrel, its the barrel. Seth its a i thought just a fantastic joke, what did you guys think . I thought it was an excellent observation. Everyone knows donkey kong and they know he loves barrels. Its not the crate. Its the barrel. And thats why its the punch line of the joke. Its a classic. Seth did it catch you offguard, ben . When it was the barrel . Well, i was for sure i was initially thinking, what is this, theres another monkey there. Its like, nope. It was the crate or the barrel. And it was the barrel. [ light laughter ] seth im sorry, you thought another monkey would be where . Oh, theres a gift registry because they were getting married. The two gorillas. Ben was not watching. Okay.
