Seth Meyers

Appearing on Talk Easy With Sam Fragoso, Meyers recalled how Michaels offered him Late Night as if he was continuing a conversation they’d never had—positing (completely in jest) that Lorne has already “talked to himself” about who will succeed him at SNL, “and that person doesn’t know.”

As Dennis Perkins writes of the uneasy marriage between late-night hosts and their corporate bosses under Trump 2.0, “the nightly monologue-watch has become an exercise in seeing if our favorite comics will blink.”

“I miss them all a great deal,” the Late Night host tells THR’s Lacey Rose in a new interview. “[But] we don’t feel as though the show has been massively affected on a quality level. I don’t feel like we hear from anybody, ‘It’s just not the same.’”
