Anyone flipping through NBC’s late-night lineup this week may notice there are no new episodes of Late Night with Seth Meyers. The desk is empty, the jokes are on pause, and there’s no new “A Closer Look” breaking down the headlines. But why? Here are all the details.
Why NBC is not airing Late Night with Seth Meyers episodes this week
Late Night with Seth Meyers is currently on a scheduled break. The show has been on hiatus since May 19 for two weeks, giving Seth Meyers and his team some time off.

- Tuesday, May 27: John Krasinski (Fountain of Youth), Reba McEntire (Happy’s Place), and Tony Gilroy (Andor) – originally aired May 13
- Wednesday, May 28: Tiffany Haddish (The Funny and Fearless Tour) and Leslie Bibb (The White Lotus) – originally aired May 14
- Thursday, May 29: Sarah Snook (The Picture of Dorian Gray) and Glenn Howerton (Sirens) – originally aired May 15
- Friday, May 30: A rerun may air, depending on local scheduling
When will Late Night with Seth Meyers return with new episodes?
Late Night With Seth Meyers will return with all-new episodes on Monday, June 2, resuming its usual weeknight schedule. Fans can expect more celebrity interviews, topical comedy, and Meyers’ signature desk pieces.
In the meantime, viewers can revisit past episodes on NBC at 12:35/11:35 c or stream them the following day on Peacock. The streaming platform also offers an extensive library of previous seasons for those looking to catch up on missed episodes.
