im starting to be able to guess, scollins is the dark humor guy, brian, matt and ian are the punners, karen's are cute but indecipherable and ally is usually specific humor that takes some prior factoid knowledge but is just barely bad. also matt likes deep sitcom references, as for his brilliant frasier roger maris joke. eating lunch with brian matt and ian would likely be fun.

I love that Seth took Late Night and made it his own by playing to his strengths, but the thing I really love that Conan O'Brien also used to when he hosted Late Night, was credit and give the spotlight to his writers. Both Conan and Seth started as staff writers, so I'm guessing that's where it comes from.

I'm with the audience, the bedbug joke was brilliant. Like most of these were either "huh?" or "oh, heh." I heard "itchy itchy" and legitimately laughed. The bear joke gets a very honorable mention. In spite of Seth's reasonable issue with it, it was still a great pun.

The "celery" joke is fantastic. I'm a phonologist (I study pronunciation/accents) and as a linguist, I declare puns the most linguistically complex form of humor and will die on that hill. He took a groan-worthy pun and elevated it to high art by making the changed vowel topical by connecting it to the regional accent (that feature is often called "Canadian raising" though it happens throughout the northern US as well)

Good god I missed Surprise Inspection! I was just last night watching the old ones for good times sake, and thought ‘they should do one for after the strike’ Before the strike, I praised Seth and the crew for being so open about the importance of the writers, and this segment for bringing the writers to the forefront. Making them characters on the show is genius, and I’d wager a not insignificant reason there was so much support for the strike. Thanks, Late Night Gang! Also, I’m ashamed to admit that I’m a Scallins fan, every time Seth tells a yikesy joke, I shake my fist at the sky saying ‘Scallins!!!’ Even though sometimes it’s Ally or Ian. Sell a Late Night staff shirt with Wally, Scallins, Amber, Jenny, Buck, Mikey the Shoe, Jim the security guard, Tara from Graphics, and all the other characters that support the Desk Boy.
