It's been full days of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and full nights of talk show hosts recapping the major moments. On Wednesday, Seth Meyers used his "A Closer Look" segment to unpack the big Obama speeches, cringe Chuck Schumer dance moves, and the stadium-melting powers of Lil Jon.

Meyers particularly applauded Michelle Obama's speech, including her iconic response to Donald Trump's "Black jobs" comment, saying, "She's very good. I'm a little bummed she doesn’t want to get into politics, but I’m very happy that she doesn’t want to host a late night talk show."
