Seth Meyers' Late Night Show Production Shut Down For 1 Week

Late Night host, Seth Myers, announced in a tweet that he had recently tested positive for COVID-19 and that the shows for the rest of the week were canceled. This news comes just one day after fellow New York Late Night host Jimmy Fallon announced he tested positive. Seth Myers mentions in the tweet that he only has minor symptoms due to the vaccine and booster shots and that the show will continue back the following Monday in a surprise new remote location.

"The bad news is, I tested positive for COVID (thanks, 2022!) the good news is, I feel fine (thanks vaccines and booster!) We are canceling the rest of the shows this week, so tune in next Monday to see what cool location we will try and pass off as a studio!!!"

Fans of live shows are now accepting these announcements as the new variant, Omicron, continues to surge throughout the country. Luckily, many shows have found new ways to bring information to audiences remotely. Notably, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver are the last shows to bring back an audience. Fans can look forward to seeing what new location Seth Myers chooses to host the show remotely from when Late Night with Seth Myers returns next Monday, January 10th, 2022.
