Making a Murderer: watch show get parodied on Late Night with Seth Meyers

Oh, don't worry, he definitely makes fun of the accents

Cashing in on the gargantuan success of Netflix's latest documentary series, Making a Murderer, Seth Meyers opened his return to Late Night with a parody of everyone's latest binge-watch. 

Entitled "Making a Talk Show Host", the video includes takes on the series' distinctive use of subtitled phone conversations cut over meaningful, brooding shots; all accompanied by that ominous twinge of the cello. And, yes, those wonderful Wisconsin accents. A dialect very similar to the Minnesotan one made famous, and endlessly parodied, by the Coen Brothers' Fargo. 

Acting as a cold open to Meyers' popular talk show, the clip sees an NBC staff member collect calling the host so he can beg, "You gotta come back. They don't got no more reruns."

Meyers responds in those same Wisconsin tones to complain, "I've only been out two weeks. Two weeks I've been gone." Eventually convinced, the sketch acts as a perfect return from the show's holiday break.



Considering the runaway success of Netflix's show, this is likely only the first of a whole string of parodies about to unleash themselves onto the world. Certainly expect Saturday Night Live to take on the series when it returns to screens 16 January, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Adam Driver as host.
