Why 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' Is Taking a Holiday Break This Week
Find out why 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' isn't new this week and when to expect new episodes. The NBC talk show is airing reruns during a holiday break after a turbulent year for the format.
If you're looking for a fresh dose of commentary from [keyword]Seth Meyers[/keyword] this week, you'll have to wait. NBC announced that '[keyword]Late Night With Seth Meyers[/keyword]' won't be airing new episodes for all of Christmas week, opting instead for reruns. This move is a common practice for late-night television, allowing cast and crew a break during the holiday season.
While new episodes are on pause, viewers can catch up on some notable shows from this past October and November. The lineup features interviews with stars like Kirsten Dunst, Channing Tatum, Tony Shalhoub, and Rose Byrne. On Christmas Day, the network will fittingly air an episode from November 27 that features members of the Meyers family discussing their travels and Seth's failed scooter test on vacation.
This holiday break caps off what has been a rough year for the late-night format. According to Entertainment Weekly, the landscape saw significant turmoil, including the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' in July and a multi-day suspension of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' in September. In comparison, 'Late Night' has arguably fared quite well.
Still, the show wasn't without its controversies. Former President [keyword]Donald Trump[/keyword] repeatedly attacked the show and Meyers on his [keyword]Truth Social[/keyword] platform, most recently calling for his firing in November. Meyers responded with his signature wit, stating on his show, "I take no issue with the president voicing his displeasure with my show... on a lot of nights, he’s got a point."
Late-night talk shows are solidifying their role as more than just entertainment; they are a primary frontier for political satire and social commentary. In a fragmented streaming era, these shows prove their resilience by serving as a daily cultural touchstone, digesting complex issues for a mass audience and shaping public discourse.
