How Boom Chicago Launched Seth Meyers to SNL and His Take on Trump’s Potential Oscar Reaction

Seth Meyers credits his early comedy experience at Boom Chicago in Amsterdam as pivotal in his career development, helping him secure his role on 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL). During his time there, Meyers collaborated with Jill Benjamin on sketches like 'Bar Pickup,' which showcased their on-stage chemistry and improvisational skills. Their successful performances led to the creation of the show 'Pick-ups and Hiccups,' which toured internationally and caught the attention of an SNL recruiter, ultimately launching Meyers' television career in 2001. Meyers emphasizes the importance of Boom Chicago in providing a 'road map' for comedy and professional growth. Separately, Meyers discussed his comedic take on current political events and pop culture, specifically predicting President Trump’s reaction if actor Timothée Chalamet wins an Oscar. Meyers humorously speculated that Trump would make a derogatory comment about Chalamet’s face, referencing Trump's past insults towards Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and his tendency to make unsubstantiated claims about her wealth and staged incidents. Meyers highlighted the absurdity of Trump's recent remarks, including claims about Omar’s net worth and accusations of her staging an attack, suggesting that any such incident would be met with further bizarre and exaggerated Trump responses. Meyers’ segments reflect his sharp political satire and cultural commentary.
