In a new interview with Vulture, 8G Band keyboardist and associate musical director Eli Janney revealed (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/1ddtam5/late_night_with_seth_meyers_is_cutting_its_live/) that NBC had cut the live band (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/late-night-with-seth-meyers-live-band-budget-cuts-1235038371/#:~:text=Late%20Night%20With%20Seth%20Meyers%20will%20not%20feature%20a%20live,a%20lot%20of%20strong%20emotions.) from a “revamped” Season 12. “There's a lot of strong emotions.

Late Night with Seth Meyers says goodbye to The 8G Band tonight — and to one of its signature bits featuring bandleader Fred Armisen (http://departure-fred-armisen-improv/)

Tonight's episode will feature Armisen as a guest and a farewell to The 8G Band (https://x.com/LateNightSeth/status/1826620451839173048), which is being axed due to budget cuts. "While Armisen, the 8G Band’s musical director, might still oversee the group’s pre-recorded musical contributions to the show, he presumably won’t be a consistent presence on set anymore. He’s been with the show since it debuted in 2014, at which time he was also a full-time performer in the band," says Nick Riccardo. "Since night one, Meyers often followed his monologue by posing a simple question to Armisen, prompting an answer that would inevitably put Fred’s impressive improvisational skills front and center—and crack up Meyers in the process."
