A eulogy for Seth Meyers’ ‘Corrections’
The ‘Late Night’ host allegedly plans to end the segment after 100 episodes. PLUS: Scarlett Johansson goes ‘Jurassic,’ ‘The Penguin’ gets a trailer, and ‘Bluey’ sees ‘The Sign.’
Whoa, it’s Popculturology on Thursday. I’m publishing the newsletter a day early to give everyone time to enjoy their fish fries this Friday. (Filet-o-Fish are fair game too.)

On March 5, 2021, Late Night posted a three-minute video of Seth Meyersgoing over a few mistakes he had made during the past week’s episodes.
Over the next three years, Meyers did this again and again, posting a new installment of this segment every week Late Night aired new episodes. This segment grew longer, often stretching close to twenty minutes. It became an ouroboros of callbacks, inside jokes and recurring gags.
Beginning with that fateful day in March 2021, Meyers has given the world 99 episodes of Corrections.
