Meyers scored his biggest celebrity yet for his Late Night day-drinking segment on Thursday: Rihanna. As Hazel Cills writes in The Muse, "if you’re skeptical as to whether these two are actually drinking real alcohol, there is absolutely no mistaking that these are real drinks by the end of the episode, which finds Meyers slurring, getting his makeup done by Rihanna, and singing 'Work' to her while she gleefully films on her cell phone (an unfortunate moment in the video, I assure you.)." She adds: "It’s funny because Rihanna is funny, but also because she’s drinking. More celebrities should be drinking on late night television! There’s a reason that the Golden Globes is the best awards show and it’s because there’s an open bar. And how exactly does Andy Cohen get guests on Watch What Happens Live to answer questions and say crazy things (like Shania Twain admitting she peed herself on stage???) that they might never say elsewhere? Well, because he’s good at his job, but also the fact that drinking is a key part of the show. If you invite celebs to your show, for the love of god just pour them some tequila."
