George R.R. Martin was on Late Night with Seth Meyers promoting his new book The World of Ice & Fire, a new companion book to his A Song of Ice & Fire series.
Meyers and the night’s other guest, Amy Poehler, tested Martin’s knowledge of his own books with a quiz. They gave him a quote, and he was to name the character who said it. With Poehler involved, though, there were a few quotes thrown in that definitely did not come from any of Martin’s books.
No offense meant to Seth Meyers, but watching this clip, I couldn’t help wondering why Amy Poehler doesn’t have her own late night show. She is obviously very funny, but more than that, she is charismatic and plays well on-screen with both Meyers and Martin. There is a reason why people have loved her hosting the Golden Globes with Tina Fey. It makes me wonder if during the late-night shake-ups, CBS ever thought to give Letterman or Ferguson’s spot to Poehler, or even better, I wonder why no one has thought to give Poehler and Fey a late-night show together.
Excuse me, I need to Google “How To Produce Late Night TV” now.
