Seth Meyers Kicks Off 'Late Night' With Amy Poehler, Tiny Chairs

Think of it as Saturday Night Live, but the host is always Seth Meyers.
Meyers seamlessly picked up the Late Night baton Monday night with a cold open sketch of "Thank You Notes."

The sketch was a Jimmy Fallon staple when he hosted Late Night. So it was an appropriate nod to his predecessor, who moved up to The Tonight Show last week.
The cold open reflected Meyers' SNL days, where the newest late-night host spent 12 years of his career — nine of which as head writer. He then moved onto a monologue, which again resembled his old SNL gig of hosting "Weekend Update" minus the iconic desk. The jokes were quick hits with little buildup, and ranged from Rob Ford to the Olympics.

The SNL similarities didn't end there. Meyers' first guest was old pal Amy Poehler, who discussed their past and even shared some gossip about another SNL transfer to Late Night: band leader Fred Armisen.


The interview hinted that under Meyers, the show will focus more on conversations and jokes, leaving the skits, games and gags to Fallon.
Meyers' SNL callbacks stopped there: His second guest was Vice President Joe Biden.

While it seemed Meyers took few risks on his Late Night debut, he bucked the talk show sofa trend in favor of midcentury modern, teeny-tiny chairs.

But if furniture is all we have to complain about, looks like Late Night is in good hands.

BONUS: 14 'Late Night' Videos That Prove Jimmy Fallon Rules the Internet
This video already has more than 21 million views on YouTube. Fallon and Timberlake say #hashtag so many times, you'll feel dumb ever using the symbol again. (Plus, anything with a Questlove cameo is instantly #awesome.)
Blessed is the mind that came up with this bizarre idea. Fallon does a spot-on impression of Neil Young, singing (of all things) the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Fallon tapped one of the most famous moms in America to help him show the "evolution of mom dancing."
The president got in on the action, too, causing a stir for surprised Late Night fans. Obama popped up on the show in 2012, helping Fallon turn a broadcast of news about student loans into a smooth slow jam.
In the height of Breaking Bad's popularity, Fallon did a parody of the show called Joking Bad. Instead of dealing crystal meth, he deals -- you guessed it -- jokes.
He capitalized on the Game of Thrones action as well, creating a nearly 10-minute parody of the fantasy series.
If you've ever wondered how Paul McCartney would sound with an American accent, here you go.
Fallon has a way with McCartney. Somehow, he convinced Macca to sing a silly, food-themed song set to the melody of "Yesterday."
The man loves dance evolutions. This time, he grabs his pal Timberlake, and the two run through end zone moves, such as the Ickey shuffle and the "taking a selfie."
This one is exactly what it sounds like: All three guys lip syncing to popular songs. Fallon tackles '80s classics such as A-Ha's "Take On Me," while Gordon-Levitt and Merchant prefer to emulate divas Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé.
The smash hit by Robin Thicke got a remix on Late Night, thanks to some help from The Roots and cheesy classroom instruments.
This skit could've come straight from the stages of Saturday Night Live. Fallon and Tatum play tween girls on a talk show called Ew.
For one of his last shows as host of Late Night, Fallon received some fatherly advice from a few special guests: the three men of Full House.
The music-loving comedian ended his run on Late Night with a performance of "The Weight" by the Band, with some help from the Muppets.
