* When their guest [[note]] Action Bronson [[/note]] ended up not being able to make it to the studio in time, Seth instead interviewed his long time co-worker [[https://youtu.be/9KFA8-Sor3E Cue Card Wally]]. They reminisce about their years of working together at Series/SaturdayNightLive and why NBC shows use cue cards over teleprompters. A particularly sweet moment is when Seth talks about how when he hosted the Emmys, he used a teleprompter, but still brought Wally along and had him standing by in case anything went wrong. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Wally then adds that he never returned the tuxedo he rented for the event.]]

Not only is it a funny BrickJoke, Seth immediately starts {{Corpsing}} when they "escape" the room behind him.

-->'''Seth:''' In closing, Donald Trump made a lot of promises as to what he's going to do in the next few years. And now we get to see if he can, if he will fulfill them. I'd just like to make one promise to him: We here at ''Late Night'' [[BringIt will be watching]].

!!Conan O'Brien series:
* Creator/DavidLetterman was a guest on a 1994 episode. Conan credits Letterman agreeing to appear on his show as the moment when ''Late Night'' began to turn it around, and is still grateful to this day.
* Conan bringing out a duck was a genuine "awwww" moment. He didn't even have a sketch for the duck (whom he dubbed "Quackers"); he just thought America could use cheering up and it personally made him happy to see it wandering around the set. [[MoodWhiplash Of course, we all know what happened next...]] [[labelnote:Note]](for those that don't know, Quackers took a dump on the floor and tasted it, grossing out Conan)[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEskg0Z-NAQ Seth's remarks]] in the wake of the surprise results of the 2016 election. Despite being one of Trump's most consistent critics on late night television, Seth nevertheless respectfully congratulates him and his supporters for their victory, and that their fears and feelings that led them to elect Trump are no less valid than those of his critics. And while Hillary didn't break "the glass ceiling", Seth says that right now, someone's daughter will some day. He also makes a sincere plea that many Americans feel scared and forgotten in the wake of Trump's victory, and hopes that Trump's supporters do not end up feeling the same way.
