Kristen Stewart gets annoyed with Seth Meyers’ directing in a new "Day Drinking"

Tuesday’s episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers featured a new installment of “Day Drinking,” the recurring segment that may well destroy Meyers’ liver or his home life before it is retired. This time, he lamented being more hungover than guest Kristen Stewart afterwards, because he had to wake up four hours earlier than she did and walk his kids to school while they pestered him for croissants. “They can tell when I’m still a little drunk and they’re like, ‘Let’s do it whiny,’” he joked.

Meyers’ kids annoying him must have been karmic payback for having the temerity to try to direct Kristen freakin’ Stewart, the Oscar-nominated, César Award-winning, once-in-a-generation talent behind such performances as Twilight and Love Lies Bleeding. Stewart was obviously game to give some dramatic cold reads of random lines the Late Night writers came up with, as she is game for all of the “Day Drinking” bits. But when Meyers stopped her in her middle of giggling over a “fart attack,” Stewart took issue. “Wait—no—that was about to be—I was about to pull through back, and—don’t cut me, man!” She exclaimed. “Don’t cut me man, because that was about to go through somewhere, like, through the laughing vulnerability, it was about to be, like, something that I was gonna discover.”

He had her run it again, but this time, she cut herself off: “The last one was so much better. You’re such an idiot. You shouldn’t have cut me. It was about to bubble up, I felt tears welling.” Eventually, as Meyers gave a rousing call for one more take—“and this time I need to believe it!”—Stewart had enough and called it quits.

Most of the episode, though, is good fun and positive bonding experiences. There’s a classic round of truth or shot, some carnival-style balloon darts, and “lesbian icon” Stewart gave Meyers a lesbian-style makeover. Rather than lean too heavily into the stereotypical items or accessories (or wigs) available, Stewart kept it simple with a denim jacket, a beanie, and some aviator-style glasses. “Do you not feel cooler than you’ve ever felt?” she asked the comedian. Replied the drunken host: “I feel as though I’ve reverted to what I’m supposed to be.”
