People on X are boycotting David Dastmalchian's latest movie, Late Night with the Devil, over AI usage. The directors' response is here.
Madame Web's Dakota Johnson appeared on Late Night in a head-turning see-through bodysuit look that is so cool.
This will sound like a bit but it’s not: John Mulaney, one of the most famous and talented stand-up comedians working right now, has joined Late Night with Seth Meyers as a staff writer. The news was announced last night by Late Night EP Mike Shoemaker and was confirmed by NBCUniversal, as Mulaney appeared on the show last night to talk to Seth about the role ghosts played in the recent presidential election. The news isn’t actually all that surprising. Mulaney and Meyers worked together closely for years at SNL where Meyers was head writer and Mulaney …
Goodness gracious, am I excited for Larry Wilmore and Amber Ruffin to topline their own Peacock late-night-styled weekly comedy shows. Wilmore is an absolute comedy legend, helping bring iconic shows like The Bernie Mac Show to the screen, while also hosting his own Comedy Central late night show The Nightly Show. Ruffin is a powerhouse of a writer/performer who demolishes every Late Night with Seth Meyers appearance she makes. Now, the two will be holding down Peacock's late night (er, "stream whenever you want") block of topical comedy. Wilmore comes to Peacock on Friday, September 18, …
Andy Samberg went on fellow SNL alum Seth Meyers’ show Late Night with Seth Meyers last night, and when he tried to hijack the interview to create his own segment, things went delightfully off the rails. Not only is Meyers Samberg’s former SNL alum, he’s also his former boss. Meyers was head writer during much of Samberg’s tenure on the NBC series, so watching them play off of one another has an added “employee/superior” dynamic that makes it a ton of fun. Samberg went on Late Night to promote his excellent new film Palm Springs, which …
One of the things I love most about Late Night with Seth Meyers is how the show highlights its writers onscreen, giving them a platform to be funny, but to also address issues, questions, or comedy that might feel a little uncomfortable coming from host Seth Meyers. It’s made an absolute star out of Amber Ruffin, a delight of a human being and a comedic force all her own (she is long overdue to have her own show, which she’ll get on the upcoming streaming service Peacock). As the Black Lives Matter protests arose in the wake of …
Late Night with Seth Meyers has been pretty strong during social distancing since Meyers is an affable host who has been inviting on people with whom he has a strong rapport. For example, his latest guest was John Mulaney, one of his friends and former co-workers on Saturday Night Live. While Mulaney technically had something to plug—his new podcast Oh, Hello: The P'dcast—really it was just two funny guys shooting the shit about what they've been up to lately. One of the things they discuss is VSCO Girls (if you've never heard the term …
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is the current frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee in the upcoming presidential election, is set as a guest on the next all-new episode of Desus & Mero on Showtime, the network announced Tuesday. The interview will be done via remote video conferencing, as hosts Desus Nice and The Kid Mero continue to shoot episodes of the late night show from their respective homes. Biden's interview will air this Thursday, April 16, at 11 p.m. on both coasts. Biden has recently earned endorsements from Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama, making him …
Late Night TV hosts returned in full force this past Monday with new shows airing on actual television instead of just on YouTube. Indeed, for the past couple of weeks folks like Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have been recording new segments from their respective homes and releasing them online. It brought a sense of normalcy to these uncertain times as pretty much everything everywhere is shut down over coronavirus concerns. This week, however, Colbert, Meyers, John Oliver and Conan O’Brien headed back to a television near you with somewhat awkward but oddly …
It's been a while since the boys club of late-night TV talk show hosts have had to reinvent themselves, but the coronavirus pandemic has forced just that. After the quarantine banned live audiences from their sets, Stephen Colbert delivered a monologue from his fancy home bathroom, Jimmy Fallon put on an at-home special from his family's playroom, and Conan O'Brien is turning to technology to keep the shows coming. Only TBS' Samantha Bee is roughing it during the crisis while delivering entertaining tips on how to survive in the potential post-apocalypse. Full Frontal will …
No word from Jimmy Kimmel or James Corden yet, but their late night rivals in New York are banning live audiences from tapings beginning next week. Jimmy Fallon (NBC), Stephen Colbert (CBS) and Seth Meyers (NBC) are all undertaking the extraordinary measure along with their cable counterparts Trevor Noah (Comedy Central), Samantha Bee (TBS), John Oliver (HBO) and Andy Cohen (Bravo). The late night hosts will all continue to tape new episodes next week, but don't count on any audience interaction, as they'll be playing to a room full of empty seats. Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has …
In a potentially paradigm-shifting move, NBCUniversal’s upcoming streaming service Peacock will make new episodes of late night television available to view hours before they air. It was announced today that new episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will stream at 8pm ET, three and a half hours before its broadcast, while Late Night with Seth Meyers will begin streaming at 9pm ET. Both shows are taped before a live studio audience earlier in the day, so this certainly puts the pressure on the post-production team to get the episodes ready ASAP. This is the first …
Team Coco shares a clip of the final Late Night with Conan O'Brien appearance by Mitch Hedberg. The late comic passed away in 2005 at age 37.
Melissa Joan Hart reprised her role as Sabrina Spellman from Sabrina the Teenage Witch for a sketch on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
David Letterman finally apologizes to former Late Night writer Nell Scovell ten years after her critical Vanity Fair article about sexism at work.
After cutting her teeth on legendary HBO sketch show Mr. Show, and producing the stand-up special Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles for the network, Sarah Silverman is back in business with HBO. Reeling from the cancellation of her acclaimed, Emmy-nominated Hulu series I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman, Variety reports that Silverman has signed a deal to bring two projects to HBO: A traditional stand-up comedy special (well, as "traditional" as Silverman can get), and a late night talk show pilot. [caption id="attachment_762321" align="alignright" width="350"] Image via Netflix[/caption] At the moment, HBO'…
If you’re a late night TV aficionado, you may have noticed that the guest lineup for nearly every late night TV show on August 8th included a secret “special guest.” That special guest was revealed to be Will Ferrell as Anchorman character Ron Burgundy, and he set a record by appearing on six different late night shows on four different networks in a single night. Granted, Ferrell probably recorded some of these performances on different days, but the fact that Ron Burgundy showed up on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Show …
From director Nisha Ganatra and screenwriter Mindy Kaling, the dramedy Late Night follows legendary talk show host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson), a pioneer in her field who is now feeling the pressure to stay relevant when it comes to her long-running late night comedy show. When she’s pushed into making her all-male writers’ room more gender balanced, chemical plant efficiency expert Molly Patel (Kaling) finds herself the first and only female on the writing staff, and she must quickly discover her own voice while also figuring out how to bring her idol’s career back from the …
