Seth Meyers
Friday, 7 p.m. & 9:30 p.m. - Carnegie Music Hall, Munhall
NBC's "Late Night" host Seth Meyers is not shy about his love for the Steel City and Pittsburghers are in for a treat when he brings his standup show to Carnegie Hall of Music on Friday. The bigger treat is, after tickets sold out for his show in Munhall, he added a second show on the same night.
One of the many reasons to miss GOT is I will not longer be able to watch them with @lesdoggg but at least the send off did not disappoint.
