Seth Meyers keeps his writers on their toes. “They produce hundreds of jokes every day to arrive at the 10 or 12 we feature in the monologue, and to be honest, many of those jokes simply aren’t great,” Meyers shares in the Late Night segment. “At times, I suspect they intentionally add a few poor ones just to fill the page.”

Enter a “surprise inspection” in which Meyers showcases jokes from different writers that were deemed too bad, offensive, or absurd to be included, while also calling out the writer responsible. Most provoke groans or silence from the audience, but there’s one standout about an alpaca that truly deserved a spot in the main monologue.
