Seth Meyers will be offering a Closer Look for a few more years to come after renewing his deal with NBC. The comedian will be hosting "Late Night with Seth Meyers" through 2025, which should take him to around 1,800 episodes of the show.

In addition, he has also signed an overall deal for Sethmaker Shoemeyers Productions, the production company he runs with "Late Night" showrunner Mike Shoemaker, with Universal Studio Group through 2025. The company previously had a first-look deal with the studio.




“Seth is a rare talent who makes America laugh and think every night,” said Katie Hockmeyer, Executive Vice President, Late Night Programming, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.

“His ‘Closer Look’ segments are classic combinations of comedy with commentary. Seth is a brilliant stand-up comedian, interviewer and political commentator. His voice matters more now than ever.”
