FIRST on Late Night with Seth Meyers

[Sperkowsky]

glad they didnt include the part with me. I guess they realized how off color the joke really was.

Well, I suppose it's a good thing that they tried doing something about FIRST. Unfortunately it was neither funny nor informative about FIRST. Oh well...

"All publicity is good publicity."

Except when they don't let people know where to find more information.

I think the best part was the untethering as well xD SO funny!

Found a youtube video someone shot... Seriously, this was some sick writer/actor just making fun of us at our expense. They should be ashamed of themselves for the crap they did. I would be embarrassed if I were one of them.

DISCLAIMER: There are some bad words in the video for those with clean ears.

I felt bad for the actor in the robot suit. It seemed to me he knew his act wasn't going well but "the show must go on". The bright side is that the students showed more wit and poise than the professional actor and the professional writers.

That. Was. Painful.

ITT, people who don't know how late night shows or late night show interviews work.

Those of us who were there and witnessed it first-hand were annoyed to say the least. Yes, if it got FIRST some publicity then okay, but OUCH. It was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen pertaining to FIRST. Most people didn't BOO him as he wished because we knew it would only feed his desire for attention and he might stay there longer. He was like the grandfather at the dinner table who keeps passing gas and who everyone wishes would just leave and go to his room. In fact, the comedy was comparable to grandpa's flatulence.

Ouch, that hurt to watch. It was more awkward and ham-fisted than I had assumed.
