'Late Night' is canceled for the rest of the week after host Seth Meyers tests positive for COVID-19.
"Late Night" host Seth Meyers tested positive for coronavirus Wednesday.
NBC’s “Late Night” won’t broadcast new episodes for the rest of the week after host Seth Meyers discovered Wednesday he tested positive for coronavirus. “After negative tests Monday and Tuesday I tested positive for COVID this morning,” Meyers said on Twitter. “Canceling shows the rest of this week. Apologies to our scheduled guests and loyal viewers!” Among those scheduled to appear this week were Nathan Lane, Maren Morris, Adam Pally, Issa Rae and Nikki Glaser.It’s getting harder to find a late-night host who has not had to grapple with coronavirus in the last few years.
All of TV has had to navigate its way through the pandemic era, but late-night shows have been among those affected the most significantly. Hosts ranging from Jimmy Fallon to Trevor Noah had to master a new art of taping a program remotely, using video technology to interview guests virtually, rather than live in the studio.
