LATE NIGHT Cancelled This Week After Seth Meyers Tests Positive For COVID

This week's episodes of LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS have been cancelled after Seth Meyers has tested positive for COVID-19.

Meyers REVEALED the COVID result in a tweet, stating that he feels "fine" since he has received his vaccines and booster shot. The show will not air for the rest of the week and will resume next Monday, January 10 in a new location.

The bad news is, I tested positive for COVID (thanks, 2022!) the good news is, I feel fine (thanks vaccines and booster!) We are canceling the rest of the shows this week, so tune in next Monday to see what cool location we will try and pass off as a studio!!!

Meyers hosted a live episode of the show last night, featuring American Utopia star David Byrne. Watch the segment here.

"Late Night with Seth Meyers" is home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and topical monologue jokes. The show is hosted by Emmy Award-winning writer Seth Meyers, who was one of 2014's TIME 100 Most Influential People and named to Variety's 2016 New Power of New York list. Previously, Meyers served as head writer on "Saturday Night Live" and anchor on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update."

"Late Night with Seth Meyers" has received four consecutive Emmy Award nominations (2017-2020) for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, and five consecutive Writers Guild of America nominations (2017-2021) for Comedy/Variety Talk Series. The show won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Talk Show in 2020 and 2021.

An established comedian, Meyers is known for his perfectly timed wit and off-the-cuff satire. According to Salon, Meyers is "one of the most important political voices on television" and Vanity Fair called "Late Night" "one of television's most intellectually curious talk shows." "Late Night with Seth Meyers" has been nominated for two GLAAD Media Awards. Meyers' fellow "Saturday Night Live" cast member and friend Fred Armisen serves as music director/drummer for the house band, the 8G Band with Fred Armisen.
