Hey everybody, Seth Meyers here. It's the end of the week and beginning of the weekend.

We hope you'll sit back, relax and enjoy this summer Friday edition of the Late Night

podcast.

On today's show, you'll hear an exclusive new comedy sketch from the minds of the Late Night

writers. Then some summer entertainment recommendations from a few Late Night guests. Finally, you'll

hear two of our staffers go head-to-head around a Late Night to Bay Club. Now, let's get

to the show.

Welcome to the Late Night's Nerd Assault Podcast, your one-stop shop for all-thing nerd.

Now, as we all know, the first trailer for the new live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie

was released earlier this year, and fans were disappointed to say the least. In response

to the criticism, the director of the film vowed to redesign Sonic's look before the film's

sharp human baby teeth, each one more deadly than the last.

Well, that's it for the Nerd Assault Podcast. We'll be back next time for an exclusive

interview with a PlayStation 5 controller.

Hey, everybody. We love books. We love authors on Late Night, and in that spirit, here are

some summer reading recommendations from our guests.

Hi, this is Coby Smolders. A book that I can recommend, just finished reading, myself,

is called A House in the Sky, written by Amanda Lindhout, a Canadian, like me, and it's

an amazing story. It's really intense, but it's basically about her time. She was a journalist

and she gets kidnapped when she's held in captivity for something like 15 months, and it's

about her journey through that. And it's about as bad as you can imagine, but she survives,

and it's an incredible real-life story, so check it out.
