Shows Like Late Night with Seth Meyers
Seth Meyers, who is "Saturday Night Live's" longest serving anchor on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update," takes over as host of NBC's "Late Night" — home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and the best in musical talent. As the Emmy Award-winning head writer for "SNL," Meyers has established a reputation for sharp wit and perfectly timed comedy, and has gained fame for his spot-on jokes and satire. Meyers takes his departure from "SNL" to his new post at "Late Night," as Jimmy Fallon moves to "The Tonight Show".

Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Same franchise: NBC Late Night slot, same Lorne Michaels SNL lineage, identical format and network.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
NBC stablemate in the same late-night block; Fallon and Meyers swapped slots simultaneously in 2014.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Direct broadcast-network late-night peer; political satire focus, SNL/Comedy Central comedy DNA, same era.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Political satire late-night, same cultural moment; Oliver shares Daily Show lineage as Meyers shares SNL lineage.
The Daily Show
Definitive political satire/news-comedy hybrid; Seth's 'A Closer Look' segments are direct Daily Show descendants.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
Same political satirist late-night format; Bee is a Daily Show alum matching Meyers's sharp political comedy niche.
The Colbert Report
Archetypal political satire late-night; Colbert's persona-driven news parody is the genre template Meyers references.
Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Broadcast late-night peer on ABC; same weeknight monologue + celebrity guest format and political comedy segments.
Conan
Same host pedigree (Conan O'Brien, NBC Late Night alumnus); irreverent humor, strong comedy sensibility.
Late Show with David Letterman
Franchise ancestor of Meyers's slot; defined the Late Night template of sharp wit and irreverent monologue.
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson
NBC late-night patriarch; establishes the host-desk format and comedic standard all successors including Meyers reference.

CBS late-late slot peer, same era as Meyers; comedy-forward format, carpool karaoke mirrors Meyers's bit-driven segments.
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman
