Thanks to his incisive “A Closer Look” segments — both during the election and since President Trump’s inauguration — the show has become a much buzzier affair three years into Meyers’ tenure. It’s a real credit to the people who are writing “A Closer Look.” We have this wonderful guy, Sal Gentile, who does the lion’s share of it. And, again, at 5 o’clock he really has to go through the actual logistics of putting “A Closer Look” together. In terms of an online following, “Late Night” really started to surge with “A Closer Look.” Do you get the sense that more people are consuming it that way? Sure, we get our “A Closer Look” up early mostly because we know that every minute that passes, it is less the news of the moment.
