NBC has made official what I wrote about a month ago. Seth Meyers is replacing Jimmy Fallon as the host of Late Night. This will make three straight SNL alums who have got the job. Conan was a writer for the show and Jimmy and Seth have been writers and performers and both hosted Weekend Update. Seth is a totally different kind of person than Jimmy. I think with Seth you will see a lot more of a show that resembles Letterman rather than a SNL show with some interviews.
he'll be great..
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he will leave snl or do both.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Stefan will make any appearances.
ReplyDeleteI hope he does! He and Drunk Uncle are the highlights for me :)
DeleteI just really hope he doesn't leave SNL. That will mean no more Stefan. Stefan isthe best part of current SNL.
ReplyDeleteWhy no more Stefan? Bill Hader is Stefan, not Seth Meyers.
DeleteIt wouldn't be the same Stefan without him interacting with Seth. Their chemistry is part of what makes Stefan so hilarious.
DeleteI like Seth, good for him!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, another white guy as a late-night comedy host. Revolutionary.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @Nutty
ReplyDeleteYou called it Enty
^ Agreed. Bill Hader writes the Stefan skits with another writer on the show (other than Seth).
ReplyDeleteBill writes it With john mulaney
DeleteBill writes it With john mulaney
DeletePlease let him leave SNL then!! I am so sick of his smug ass.
ReplyDeleteI love Seth Meyers and think he will be great.
ReplyDeleteSeth did stand up in Portland recently! He was great! Love him on SNL but this new gig will be perfect! Love Jimmy Fallon too!
ReplyDeleteAnything's better than Leno and Letterman, talking heads being constantly stroked by a fawning audience, not being funny,creative, or imaginative.
ReplyDeleteLove seth, love jimmy, happy with both of their new jobs! Passing of the torch.
ReplyDeleteHe's a Jew and they are NOT white. Having "white" skin does NOT make you white and Jews like to pretend to be white when it suits them and claim minority when it doesn't. They're the synagogue of Satan, well at least Ashkenazis like Seth Meyers are. As "racist" as I am I have nothing against Torah Jews, the true Jews but the Ashkenazi are basically demons from hell walking the earth. Read the Talmud to see some real hard core racism, like advocating child rape, murder of non Jews, etc.
ReplyDeleteI may be a "racist" but I simply dislike most non-whites, I don't advocate their murder, rape and enslavement. Too bad nobody in the media will ever ask any of these people about their religion but considering who runs the media (along with everything else) it's never gonna happen.
Great moderation there, Enty.

DeleteSeth isn't my favourite but I think he would be a great late night host.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to vomit after reading that comment.
@ 888 - Good to see you made it here for another rant! I though Monday was "bunker airing day", you know, the day where you air out the 12 x 12 hidey-hole you've dug in your back yard where you plan to wait out the apocalypse with your cans of Dinty Moore stew and supermarket brand tomato soup and beef jerky. BTW, I'd take a million Seth Meyers over one of you.
ReplyDeleteOops! Someone moderate me, quick!
I deleted my comments to the lovely 888 after remembering that adage about online arguments with trolls. It's like wrestling with a pig - you both get dirty but the pig likes it.
ReplyDeleteBut this part stands: you don't need quotation marks around the word racist. You ARE a racist.
I have a huge crush on him. In fact, I'd go so far as to put him on my Laminated 5.
ReplyDeleteI probably still won't watch though *L*.
What's with the air quotes Hate Hate Hate? Are you trying to imply that somehow you aren't racist? You are racist and a pitiful excuse for a human.
ReplyDeleteI see the moderating is going well.
@888: You wouldn't happen to be part Scottish/Irish/Welsh/etc., would you? My mom just reminded me of the long-standing theory that the Celtic peoples were originally one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, so you wouldn't be the first self-hating racist out there. (It might also explain why the two ethnic group that seem to have the most redheads are--surprise!--the Celts and the Jews. Granted, all of humanity comes from common ancestors anyway...)
ReplyDelete(Come ON, Enty--get it together, please! Yes, sometimes trolls can be annoying, but going after silly OT posts while leaving racist/sexist/homophobic bilge up is not a good way to either make/keep readers or to get more hits--what's good for the goose, etc.)
I like Seth! I wonder if his brother will make an appearance.
ReplyDeleteI find him kind of hot and adorable.
ReplyDeletePeople were predicting that Seth would take over for Jimmy back in January. Jimmy also never worked as a credited writer on SNL.
ReplyDeleteIn all my years of reading CDAN, the blog has never published any real SNL gossip. Lorne keep a mighty tight grip on the show.
LOVE Seth! I might start watching late night talk again in '14
ReplyDeleteFor once, I've got nothing bad to say about someone. Seth is the best Weekend Update anchor since Chevy Chase (possibly better) and I think he will do a great job. I hope his show is a huge success & it leads to a long, lucrative career!
ReplyDeleteAnd come on people! Don't even re-print THE ABOVE RACIST'S screen name. It acknowledges his existence and it will only encourage him!!!
I'm so excited for him! Actually there will be no more Stefon anyway, as Bill Hader is leaving at the end of this season. At least we'll have Seth until December next season! And not to feed the troll but I'm almost positive Seth isn't Jewish? Pretty sure he's Irish.
