On last night's LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS, host Seth Meyers revealed that every time he sits down at the beginning of a Broadway show, he is always "super bummed out" because he has no attention span and thinks, "Oh my God, this is going to take forever!" Yet at the end of the show, he is always extremely happy he went to see it.

He went on to give the perfect example of this problem, explaining that several years ago, his mom wanted to see JERSEY BOYS. The comic is not a big fan of musicals and shared that he often gets annoyed when audiences laugh hysterically over things that he doesn't necessarily see the humor in. Yet as Meyers explains, "cut to two hours later, I was so emotionally affected by Jersey Boys that I'm sobbing!" He went on to admit that to this day, just seeing an ad for the Frankie Valli musical on a city bus can bring tears to his eyes.
