Seth Meyers Expresses Concern Over Late-Night Show Future Amid Industry Shake-Up

Seth Meyers has expressed significant concern about the future of his late-night show amid a challenging entertainment industry landscape, especially following CBS's cancellation of Stephen Colbert's The Late Show. Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast before Colbert's show was canceled, Meyers acknowledged a shift in his fears from doubting his own abilities to worries about factors beyond his control, including the ecosystem potentially no longer supporting late-night programming. He also revealed that an end to his show would deeply affect his mental health and that he has been diversifying his career by developing a stand-up act and focusing on podcasts. Meyers noted that late-night TV is a format he loves and described his show as a comfortable, family-like environment, expressing sadness at the possibility of losing it. The cancellations and changes in late-night television have been speculated to be influenced by political pressures, including President Donald Trump's alleged involvement following Colbert's criticisms of a settlement with Trump. Despite these uncertainties, Meyers remains reflective on his career and the unpredictable nature of the industry.
