Fans tuning into Late Night With Seth Meyers this week might notice the show is taking a breather. After powering through Thanksgiving week, the NBC late-night favorite Seth Meyers is taking a tiny breather.
The timing is wild too, since the late-night world has been a roller coaster lately, but Seth’s show has stayed surprisingly steady while everyone else scrambles for ratings.
Here’s why Late Night With Seth Meyers will not air new episodes this week
NBC has officially hit the rewind button for Late Night With Seth Meyers, rolling out reruns and giving Seth and his crew a full week to catch their breath.
The timing isn’t random, and it lines up perfectly with last year, when the show also dipped out right after Thanksgiving. Fans can recall that the show just aired four brand-new episodes last week, including that rare Thanksgiving special where Seth’s family was on-camera.
The reruns this week are a mini highlight reel from the fall. Monday kicks things off with the Oct. 22 episode, the one where Maya Rudolph swung by to promote her Apple TV+ comedy Loot. In addition, the rerun will see Adam Pally promoting his HBO Max stand-up special, An Intimate Evening With Adam Pally.
Then on Tuesday, fans will see The Chair Company masterminds Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, followed by comic Stavros Halkias, who’s fresh off his role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia.
Wednesday’s rerun will feature Tiffany Haddish talking about her show Tiffany Haddish Goes Off, Cristin Milioti talking about The Penguin and her voice role in In Your Dreams, and filmmaker Joachim Trier promoting Sentimental Value.
Even though Seth’s show has dodged a lot of obstacles intended for late-night this year, like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert getting axed, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Taking a timeout, it still found itself in the political splash zone. Donald Trump recently took to Truth Social to drag Meyers, calling him “talentless” and urging NBC to can him.
