Seth Meyers will succeed Jimmy Fallon on NBC's "Late Night."
Longtime "Saturday Night Live" cast member Seth Meyers will replace Jimmy Fallon as the host of NBC's "Late Night" show, Entertainment Weekly reports. ?The announcement was made Sunday by?Bob Greenblatt, the chairman of NBC Entertainment.
Meyers will take over the 12:35 a.m. slot in 2014. The exact premier date has not been announced yet. Fallon will get bumped up an hour as Jay Leno's successor on NBC's "Tonight Show," probably next January, according to The New York Times.
Meyers joined the SNL cast in 2001. In 2006, he was promoted to head writer after Tina Fey's departure as executive producer. Meyers has also anchored "Weekend Update" solo since SNL cast member Amy Poehler left in 2008. ?
"We think Seth is one of the brightest, most insightful comedy writers and performers of his generation," Greenblatt said in a statement. "His years at SNL's ?Weekend Update? desk, not to mention being head writer of the show for many seasons, helped him hone a topical brand of comedy that is perfect for the ?Late Night? franchise.??
