Late-night television is the after-dark home of comedy interviews and celebrity storytelling. Its October 19, 2026 highlight came on Late Night with Seth Meyers, when Jenna Ortega’s tale of a styrofoam rock costume — completed with a headband that said ‘rock’ — prompted Meyers to confess his own father-made trash-bag costume, mistaken for leaves. The exchange showed late-night television at its best: unscripted-feeling, self-deprecating, and endlessly quotable the next morning.
