"Also, clock math is hard." Yes, it is. That just gave me some painful flashbacks. Otherwise, this article is delightful! I consider myself a fan of Seth Meyers, but you are clearly on another level. Thank you for putting this together, and helping me avoid productive labor. You rock!

Standing ovation. Truly a Magnum Opus.

Also, worried about your sanity, but that is of minor importance of course.

Can't help but to Jackal a bit. There is no such thing as a "light motif". There is something called a "leitmotif", which in turn is an anglicization of the German word leitmotiv - meaning leading or guiding motif in music.

As you know, this is how we jackals show love and appreciation ❤️

Hi! I don't know if you still check these comments or if you are even still interested in this project. I wanted to say thank you. You have single handedly radicallized me into being a Seth Meyers fan and this was exactly what I needed. The Late Night Show gets so incredibly good as soon as you dive deep enough and I was finally able to do it by finding out about Popsticle Schtick and other things I hadn't heard of. You are a brilliant, funny writer and I look forward to starting Corrections from the beginning while using your observations as a guide at my side.

I really hope you can be proud of this thing, as silly as it is. For me (and I mean this) it's an act of genuis that I can't believe more people haven't found or discussed. I love nothing more than a passion project that got out of hand. Thank you for writing and sharing it, making my week and the upcoming ones a lot better and being as funny and cool as I pressume you are (much funnier and cooler than me for example). I wish I could write or say anything that would do the work this took justice, I fear I will fail. Just know you have birthed a new and happy Jackal.

I hope you are happy whereever you are, found a new F key and enjoy life.

Lots of love from Germany

This is brilliant, I wanted to find the lyrics to Animal Flubs, since it is sung so poorly, and this was the ONLY result in all of teh interwez, but ... in the Animal Flubs lyrics above, well, there's a flub:

"Because in that cast cub means baby" -- cast, not case.

I have jackaled the jackal.

Thank you for all of your hard work! I was able to command+f my way to the details of a joke reference I forgot.
