Seth Meyers used the latest installment of his recurring Corrections segment on LATE NIGHT WITH Seth Meyers to address a pair of on-air errors from the week of September 21. Meyers acknowledged mistakenly suggesting that the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. would give the X-Men their powers, a claim that had no basis and needed clarifying for viewers.

The host also revisited a joke made earlier in the week mocking Taco Bell over the Cyclospora outbreak, correcting the record on that bit as part of the same segment. Corrections has become a regular fixture of the show, with Meyers periodically setting aside time to walk back jokes or claims that did not hold up after further scrutiny.

The segment continues a pattern on LATE NIGHT of Meyers taking accountability for flubs made during the week's monologues and desk pieces, giving viewers a rundown of what got it wrong and why. This episode's corrections focused specifically on the Reflecting Pool comment and the Taco Bell joke, both delivered with the same dry humor that defines the bit.

Meyers has used similar audience-facing moments to offer behind-the-scenes insight into the show, including a recent Q&A where he discussed the hardest shoot of his career and the origins of his 'Jackals' catchphrase.
