It's Official. Seth Meyers Named 'Late Night' Host

It's been rumored for months.

Sunday, the rumor turned fact as Seth Meyers officially announced that he'll be taking over for Jimmy Fallon on NBC's "Late Night Show."

Fallon is replacing Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show."

Perhaps fittingly, the announcement came on Mother's Day.

Meyers posted the following Tweet:

So, next year I'm going to do this http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/13/business/media/seth-meyers-to-succeed-fallon-on-late-night.html?hp&_r=0 … Thanks to NBC, Lorne, but especially Mom

Last year, Meyers – the longtime Saturday Night Live writer/comedian and host of the popular Weekend Update segment – returned to Bedford to perform a stand-up routine at Bedford High School in support of Bedford Education Association and in tribute to the career of his mother, a retiring Bedford school teacher.

What do you think? Does Meyers fit into the weekday late night scene, or is he better suited for Saturday nights? Sound off in the comment section below or have your say on our Bedford Patch Facebook Page.
