(NBC)
The peacock network is sticking with its late-night lineup. NBC has renewed Seth Meyers’ contract to host the Late Night with Seth Meyers TV series through 2025. The show is currently in its eighth season and Meyers, a former Saturday Night Live star and head writer, previously signed a five-year deal in 2016.
NBC extended the contract of The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon in November so, neither host is going anywhere for a while. The second season of A Little Late with Lilly Singh just debuted in January.
Meyers’ production company with Mike Shoemaker, Sethmaker Shoemeyers Productions, now also has a deal with Universal Studio Group through 2025. The company currently produces A.P. Bio and The Amber Ruffin Show for the Peacock streaming service.
Here are the press notes from NBC:
