Seth takes a closer look at how Republicans still face the looming possibility of a government shutdown because President Trump rejected a bipartisan deal to solve an immigration impasse he created.
Alone Together's Esther Povitsky tells Seth what it's like to work with The Lonely Island, why she set up a surveillance camera in her parents' home and how she got her start in comedy.
Then, Esther takes a few more questions backstage at 8G.
