It turns out that Seth Meyers is a big fan of Girls, the HBO show created by and starring Lena Dunham. And Dunham is a huge, obsessive fan of Meyers' old show, Saturday Night Live. Their conversation, on Thursday night's Late Night, was not a hard-hitting interview.
Meyers told Dunham that he's learned a lot about women watching Girls with his wife — like that women get in huge fights and think nothing of it. "My boyfriend thinks it's an insane pathology," Dunham agreed. She also recalled a story about being pulled aside by the TSA before a flight to Ohio, by agents who had no idea that she is famous and has her own TV show. The best part of the story is her mom's reaction.
