It was a wild night day New York City's Globe Bar when Seth Meyers welcomed Paul Rudd for a fresh installment of "Day Drinking."

How to Watch

Watch Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC weeknights at 12:35/11:35c and next day on Peacock.  

Rudd kicked things off in some incredible Western wear: a cowboy hat and a jacket with a horned pegasus riding into ocean waves, no doubt a reference to his new Death of a Unicorn movie with Jenna Ortega. The actor also kicked things off by chugging a full pint of Guinness like it was nothing. 

"What's...going on?" Meyers marveled. "You drank that like a horse?!"

"Just having a Guinness with a nice froth chaser," Rudd answered, licking foam from his lips.

As Meyers notes in the video, the friends have known each other for about 20 years. The pals' chemistry adds an extra layer of hilarity to a session that moves them both to tears early on — tears that come from gagging and screaming because Meyers made a particularly horrific-tasting cocktail.

"Is it too late to tell you that I'm an angry drunk?" Rudd joked as he sat at the bar Meyers manned. The Late Night Host mixed up a revolting Knocked Up-themed cocktail in a blender: "things that pregnant women crave" such as chocolate, ice cream, french fries, peanut butter, pickles, plus a metric ton of whisky.

"That might be the worst one I've ever had," Meyers declared. But that was only because he hadn't yet made the "Romeo + Juliet" yet: A blend of Four Loko, 5-Hour Energy, and hot sauce. 

"Oh," Meyers exclaimed after taking a sip. "Oh, no. I put in too much of the sau—"

"This is f---ing awful!" Rudd screamed, his face turning bright red as the friends both laughed so hard they could barely stand. The Friendship star took off his unicorn cowboy hat to dry-heave into it.

After a very funny Anchorman-inspired game in which Rudd couldn't help but break while delivering newscaster lines like, "This just in from the North Pole: Santa's dead," Meyers asked Rudd to sit side-by-side with Late Night writer Seth Reiss to see if Meyers could tell the two apart (both Lizzo and Kevin Hart saw a major resemblance during their own "Day Drinking" installments).

"Okay, try it again," Rudd said after round one, returning in the exact same outfit as Reiss, black tape forming a beard shape on his face.

Rudd's "Day Drinking" episode ended with the two spraying each other in the face with their proton packs. 

"Look, are we adult men? Sure," Meyers told the camera as Rudd relentlessly blasted him with water. "But are we having the best time of our lives? Yeah, we are."
