Veteran late-night host Seth Meyers admitted in a recent podcast interview that the possibility of his show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, ending has become a serious worry for him—largely due to forces beyond his control.
Meyers, who has hosted nearly 1,700 episodes since the series began in 2014, shared his anxiety during an appearance on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. While he once feared not being good enough, he now finds himself more concerned about the broader challenges facing late-night television. The industry itself, he suggested, may no longer support the format—regardless of his personal performance.
The cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert by CBS—announced earlier this year—leaves Meyers as one of the few remaining hosts in that nightly time slot. He acknowledged that if his own show were canceled tomorrow, “I would worry about myself, like, mental health‑wise.”
Despite his rising concerns, Meyers emphasized that he’s taken proactive steps: he’s branched out into stand-up and podcasting, including projects like Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers and The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. Nonetheless, he made clear that nothing matches the sense of belonging and routine he finds in producing his nightly show.
