By: Caryn Robbins Feb. 10, 2017

Beloved "Saturday Night Live" personality - and the longest serving "anchor" on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update" - Seth Meyers takes over as host of NBC's "Late Night," home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and the best in musical talent.

As the Emmy-winning head writer for SNL, Seth has established a reputation for his sharp wit and perfectly timed comedy and has gained fame for his spot-on impersonations, unique characters and hilarious spoofing of topical news. Seth takes his departure from SNL to his new post at "Late Night" as Jimmy Fallon moves to "The Tonight Show."

Below, check out monologue highlights from last night's show:

Controversial nominee Senator Jeff Sessions was confirmed as attorney general yesterday. And he got so excited he ran all the way back to the Shire to tell his family.

A snowstorm in the Northeast today caused many schools in the area to close. Said Betsy DeVos, "What? The school closures weren't supposed to start yet!"

The casts of House of Cards, Veep, and SCANDAL reportedly will not attend the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April to protest President Trump. To protest the fact that he's stealing all their plot lines?

Plans to set up free Wi-Fi zones at Mount Everest base camp were announced yesterday. Though if you're really excited about that, maybe mountain climbing isn't your thing.
