Michael Keaton, Emily Deschanel, and Neal Brennan join Seth Meyers on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" season 4 episode 54. As always, Seth's quick wit and irreverent humor are on full display as he chats with his guests about their latest projects and shares laughs with the audience.

First up is Michael Keaton, the legendary actor who has starred in such iconic films as "Beetlejuice," "Batman," and "Birdman." Keaton is promoting his latest movie, "The Trial of the Chicago 7," which tells the true story of a group of anti-Vietnam War protestors who were charged with conspiracy and incitement to riot following protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Seth and Keaton discuss the timeliness of the film's release in the midst of current protests against police brutality and systemic racism, and Keaton reflects on his own experiences protesting during his college days.

Next, Emily Deschanel joins Seth to discuss her new TV series, "Animal Kingdom," which follows a family of criminals who operate out of their Southern California beachfront home.

She also shares a funny anecdote about her father, who is also an actor, getting mistaken for a homeless person on the "Animal Kingdom" set.

Finally, comedian and writer Neal Brennan takes a seat with Seth to talk about his new comedy special, "Neal Brennan: 3 Mics," which explores three different styles of comedy in one show. Brennan explains the inspiration behind the unique format of the special and shares stories about his early days in the comedy scene. He and Seth also discuss the current state of comedy in a politically charged climate and debate the merits of cancel culture.

Throughout the episode, Seth keeps things lively with his trademark blend of pop culture commentary and topical humor. He peppers his discussions with Keaton, Deschanel, and Brennan with witty observations about the news of the day and tosses in some fun segments like "Jokes Seth Can't Tell" and "Seth Recommends."
