NBC’s late-night talk show, Late Night With Seth Meyers, will not feature new episodes this week, opting instead to air reruns throughout the Christmas holiday. This decision allows viewers to enjoy previously broadcast segments while spending time with family and friends.
The week starts with a rerun of the episode that originally aired on October 6, featuring actress Kirsten Dunst and actor Tony Shalhoub, who was promoting his new travel food series, Breaking Bread. On Tuesday, audiences can catch the episode from October 7, which includes an interview with Dunst’s costar Channing Tatum, singer Megan Moroney discussing her single “6 Months Later,” and chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who demonstrates how to prepare shrimp and squash cocktails.
The show takes a brief pause on Wednesday, December 23, with no episode scheduled, before airing a rerun on Christmas Day. This episode, first broadcast on November 27, features Seth’s family members Hilary, Larry, and Josh Meyers. They reflect on a family trip to Pittsburgh and share amusing anecdotes, including Josh Meyers‘ impersonation of California Governor Gavin Newsom and Seth’s scooter mishap during a family vacation in Bermuda.
Wrapping up the week, the rerun on Friday, originally aired on October 10, showcases interviews with actress Rose Byrne, Major League Baseball players Sean Casey and Mark DeRosa, and comedian Caleb Hearon, who promotes his debut comedy special, Model Comedian.
Traditionally, airing reruns during the holiday season is a common practice within late-night television. This particular pause comes after a challenging year for many talk shows. In contrast, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert faced significant upheaval, with its cancellation announced in July and final episodes expected to air in May. Jimmy Kimmel Live also experienced disruptions with a suspension in September. In light of this, Late Night With Seth Meyers has managed to maintain a steadier course.
This year, the show has not escaped scrutiny from political figures, including former President Donald Trump, who has criticized Meyers multiple times on social media. Most recently, Trump called for Meyers’ firing on his platform Truth Social in November. Responding on his show, Meyers remarked, “I take no issue with the president voicing his displeasure with my show. That is his right and, on a lot of nights, he’s got a point.”
“Late Night With Seth Meyers” airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET/PT on NBC.
As audiences settle into their holiday routines, they can revisit these entertaining episodes, ensuring that Late Night With Seth Meyers remains a staple in their late-night viewing.
