It was a big week for the news in late night.

Many nights were given over to commentary from war correspondents and the like.

Other than Afghanistan, much of the headline space this week was taken up by the Delta variant.

Maybe thats why unhinged guests took the spotlight this week.

Most of what worked best was either a guest popping off, or a segment-breaking format.

Lets talk about it.

As a DMX vehicle, it pales compared toCradle 2 the Grave.But as Hype WilliamssHeat,it whips ass.

He cant do it!

Always coming out belay, like the mountain-climbing term.

Meyers pretends to go off on a rant, and his audio gets cut.

It always devolves into something surreal, but this time it was a literal drug trip.

I think that stuffs finally kicking in jokes are kind of tired.

The segment lost me when everything started getting echo-y and fractal.

Amber Ruffin Finally Gets an Audience

The Amber Ruffin Showfinally has an audience!

Well, it turns out, nothing is too much for theRuffinaudience.

Meg Stalter Is the Prettiest Girl in the World

Meg Stalter made the most of hernetwork late-night debut.

But should we expect any less from the walking ball of chaos that is Stalter?

Michael Keaton Wont Sit Down

Michael Keatons bravura performance onThe Tonight Showwas really hobbled by a commercial break.

Or talking about flashlights.

Or handing Fallon wadded-up tissues.

Fallon was better able to roll with Keatons bits than Maren Morris was with Stalter.

Which makes sense, since this is his day job and all.
