Late Nighttalk show host Seth Meyers creates funny fake video games for a new segment on his show. Video games regularly get a slot in late night TV talk shows with hosts likeConan O’Brien playing games likeGod of Warwith celebrity guests.
Anyone who tuned intoLate Night With Seth Meyerson August 09, 2025 will have gotten a chuckle out of a segment called “old video games.” Consoles like thePS4 may have billions of game salesbut in this segment, Seth told viewers about gaming back in the day when he used to play games on a console called the “Jorbus.” The Jorbus had all of the best games of the time and Seth selected a few, sharing their gameplay and box art.

One of these games is the arcade ice skating gameTonya Harding Skating. InTonya Harding Skating, players must try to avoid the skater’s goons as they perform on the ice, ducking and triple axelling their way out of danger. There’s also a boss battle the end where Tonya Harding comes at players with a crowbar. It may not have the real Tonya Harding orBirds of Preystar Margot Robbie, who played the skater in the biopicI, Tonya, but this fake game does look like it could be fun.
There’s alsoChernobyl: The Gamewhere a Soviet official has to eat documents about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster like some sort of government cover-up version ofPac-Man. Another game isFitted Sheet: The Game, which really manages to show the incredible difficulty of trying to get a fitted sheet onto a mattress without the corners popping off. There have been some very strange sim games such asGoat SimulatorandFitted Sheet: The Gamewould probably become popular if it was real.
The last two games areGoodFellas: The GameandBobby Knight Basketball. InGoodFellas: The Game, players are Henry Hill trying to escape from a restaurant when his wife sees him.GoodFellasactor Ray Liotta has been in a video game and he played aGrand Theft Autoprotagonist. If he hadn’t been inGTAand this was a real game, then Liotta could have potentially been in it. InBobby Knight Basketball, players are angry basketball coach Bobby Knight, throwing chairs at police officers, players, and Saddam Hussein. It’s unlikely thatNBA 2Kwould add gameplay like this, but some fans would probably enjoy it.
Other late night talk show hosts have found huge success by talking about video games. Hideo Kojima also putConan O’Brien inDeath Strandingand his Clueless Gamer segment was turned into its own TV show. It’s unclear if that will happen with old video games, but many viewers of the Seth Meyers show would like to see it again.
