When Saturday Night Live alumni reunite, things tend to get nostalgic, and maybe a little but chaotic. But when Will Forte and Seth Meyers get on the horn last week, there was a rare, lived-in warmth between the two comedians, spun out of two decades of laughter and friendship, cultivated over many late nights in writer’s rooms.
