Seth Meyers is not taking being back in the studio for granted.
The host of NBC’s Late Night has been back in 30 Rock since September and although he had to leave the Sea Captain behind, he no longer has to fix his own iPad teleprompter.
The former SNL-er has been revelling in the fact that there is no studio audience – and he tells Deadline that there’s unlikely to be a crowd in to see the show being made until September “at the earliest” – particularly during his freewheeling A Closer Look segments.
The political comedy segment, which can run north of 15 minutes, is one of Meyers’ signature bits and the success of it during the pandemic and the dying days of the Trump Presidency are a big part of why he is being talked up for one of the five slots in the main Emmy late-night category.
