Late Night with Seth Meyers is back with its fifth season premiere episode featuring incredible guests such as Jim Parsons, Chrissy Metz, and Ruston Kelly. The show promises to bring laughs, music, and insightful discussions as the host engages the audience and his guests in the most engaging way possible.
The big draw of this episode is the presence of Jim Parsons, the actor best known for his role as Sheldon Cooper in the hit television show The Big Bang Theory. He is now on the show, promoting his latest project; a new film called The Boys in the Band. This movie is a Netflix adaptation of a famous play about a group of gay men gathering for a birthday party, which goes awry with the arrival of an uninvited guest. Jim Parsons talks about what it was like to play a character that is so different from Sheldon as well as discussing the challenges of playing a gay character in a world that is still adjusting to LGBTQ+ inclusion.
Chrissy Metz, the talented actress and singer, is also set to appear on the show. She got her big break with her role in the hit television series This Is Us, but now is all about promoting her new music project. Her recent album, 'Chrissy Metz: Live From the Hotel Café,' is a refreshing mix of country-inspired tunes and ballads that showcase her incredible vocal range. Seth Meyers will talk with her about the inspiration behind the album and what it was like to pursue a career in music after her success in acting.
Lastly, country singer Ruston Kelly is stopping by for a musical performance. Kelly has been making waves in the country music scene with his latest album, 'Shape & Destroy,' which showcases his storytelling capabilities in a powerful way. Kelly's songs are inspired by his personal struggles and experiences, and he combines this with a penchant for melody and his excellent vocal range. Meyers will talk to him about his musical journey and what it was like to create an album during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, the first episode promises to be an exciting and dynamic conversation filled with laughter, music and compelling insights. The guests' references make the content worth tuning into. Seth Meyers does what he does best, giving room for his guests to shine while putting his own unique spin on things. No doubt, it is a perfect season premiere for Late Night with Seth Meyers.
