The American comedian, writer, producer, television host, actor, voice actor and currently the host of Late Night, a late-night talk show that airs on NBC, Seth Meyers, said that he will change the NBC's Late Night monologue format. Seth Meyers also said that he will stick with the new format as it closely resembles "Weekend Update" and 'The Daily Show.'
On Monday's broadcast of "Late Night," after the audience members finished applauding and took their seats, an unusual move Seth Meyers did wihich was that he also sat down. While Meyers was behind his desk, the host performed a 12-minute routine of topical jokes about the vacation of President Obama in Martha's Vineyard; Hillary Rodham Clinton's selfie photograph; Kim Kardashian and Kanye West; and also the host talked about Donald Trump.
Seth Meyers said seemed like the right time to do something different, the host stated, "I've always, obviously, been comfortable behind a desk." "I've embraced the challenge of trying the more conventional late-night monologue," Seth Meyers also said, "I felt like I'd had success telling jokes standing as well, be it at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the ESPYs or even doing stand-up. But I'm also aware that an hour before my show starts, Jimmy [Fallon]'s doing a classic monologue, and he's doing it very well."
Meyers said that desk-based approach to present a topical joke that's been used by The Daily Show and resembling without being identical programs like The Nightly Show, and also the now-defunct Last Week Tonight of Colbert Report and John Oliver, is the treatment that Seth Meyers wanted to try ever since he started his Late Night run 18 months ago.
Seth Meyers stated, "I want to be able to have the fun of commenting on jokes that don't land the way everyone thought they would," the host also said, "On 'Weekend Update,' you're telling 10 or 12 jokes a week and it stings a little bit more when one clunks. But here, when you're telling so many more, it becomes part of the delight - the ones that go off the rails."
