On Late Night, Seth Meyers takes A Closer Look at two NSA employees and one private citizen, who all react differently to the news that the Domestic Surveillance Act has expired. The first employee could not be happier that he will no longer be forced to listen to our long, boring phone calls. ‘Who uses the phone anymore?!’ he complains. Apparently the only people talking are the ones who don’t text, according to this burned out agent. Believe me, he’s not nosy. We use key words every day that obligate him to listen. ‘ Myrtle, that kid next door is a little ‘terror’ I ‘spied’ him tinkling in the pool Earl ‘blew up’ for Earl Junior.’ Just one of those words would guarantee that you’d never be alone on the phone again.
The second employee won’t stop his snooping anytime soon. He is wrapped up in the drama of a high school love triangle. The high school seniors are not terrorist material, but they do have complex and compelling lives that make snooping an entertaining profession.
The private citizen Seth ‘interviews’ has a unique problem that her parents gave to her at birth. There is a good reason that no one would ‘join her’ for lunch…Or anything else.
