Anna Wintour is known for her seriousnature and rarely cracks a smile. But the Vogue editor, 65, proved she has a comedicside in a mock "behind-the-scenes" sketch from Wednesday night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers show.
In the funny clip, it is revealed that Annais actually the brains behind the comedian's hit talk show. “A lot of peopledon’t realize that along with being a fashion icon, Anna Wintour has beenbehind every major comedy decision in the last 40 years,” Seth says in thesketch. "Saturday Night Live was her idea. She directed Animal House. Shetold Jerry Seinfeld the show should be about nothing."

The 5-minute-long clip goes to showAnna's signature decisiveness, choosing between a man dressed as a chicken orone dressed as an astronaut, and where or not to display a chattering teeth toy or a whoopeecushion. The staff of the show even decides to dress in black-tie attire fortheir fashionable boss, to which Anna says, "I don't know why they do that.They look ridiculous."
Seth says he has a daily meetingwith the head honcho to perfect his on-air sketches. "Every morning Annaand I meet and go over last night's show," he explains. After a rare approval from themagazine icon, Seth breaks down in tears. "Stop crying," quips Anna. "You'rea grown man."
