He often incorporates segments such as "A Closer Look," in which he delves into current news events in more detail, and "Jokes Seth Can't Tell," for jokes that are best left to his writers who belong to different races, genders and sexual orientations.

The show's celebrity interviews see Meyers sit down with a variety of guests, ranging from actors, comedians, musicians, and politicians. Meyers' interviewing style is amiable and conversational and often sees him loosen up his guests with some banter before delving into more serious topics such as the state of politics or their latest project. Many times guests also bring some of their personal experiences and some moments bring surprises, emotions, and fun anecdotes.
