Every drinker knows that mixing drinks in the same session is a bad idea. But that didn’t stop Seth Meyers and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who decided to go day drinking on a Tuesday in a Late Night celebration of her new movie, coincidentally named Tuesday.
The pair took over The Dawson bar in New York City and began quickly pounding them down, with Meyers mixing and matching behind the bar. Their drinks ran from a dry martini to a combination of whiskies, down to a Jägerbomb. There followed several sloppy brain teaser games, including a “Truth or Dare” competition.
As you would expect, It started to quickly go downhill as the alcohol kicked in.
In the words of Louis-Dreyfus, it was “the stupidest show I’ve ever done,” and ended with Meyers appearing to be passing out on the floor.
And as they say in show biz, “Always leave them wanting more.

The 8G Band will be playing its last tunes on Late Night With Seth Meyers this summer.
NBC-imposed budget cuts to the show mean that the house band — keyboard player Eli Janney, guitarist Seth Jabour and bassist Syd Butler — will be going away when Late Night begins its new season in the fall. The trio have been part of the show since its debut in 2014; Fred Armisen was the bandleader for much of that time but has been more of a guest performer in the past few years.
“Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker, the showrunner, brought us in in person to talk about it. They expressed their regret and frustration about it,” Janney said in an interview with Vulture. “They had been trying to work it out for months, but in the end NBC was adamant about where they wanted the budget to go.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is spilling on her “worst” film ever.
The “Veep” Emmy winner and star of recent feature “Tuesday” said that 1986’s “Troll” is her critically worst movie.
“That’s easy. ‘Troll,'” Louis-Dreyfus replied when Seth Meyers asked for her bad flick during a “Day Drinking” segment during “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
Meyers responded in shock, “I love ‘Troll’!”
Louis-Dreyfus quipped in return, “Shut the fuck up!” and threw water at him from across the bar.
“Troll” centered on a wizard who takes over an apartment building and possesses a young tenant. The film holds a 30 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and was a January 1986 release, if that says anything about its box office hopes.
Louis-Dreyfus recently told IndieWire’s Kate Erbland that deciding to star in Daina O. Pusić’s feature directorial debut “Tuesday” was an easy decision, despite the film’s premise being “super unusual.”

“Late Night with Seth Meyers” will no longer feature a live band, which doesn’t bode well for “It’s Time to Ask Fred (Armisen) a Question.”
Meyers’ version of “Late Night” succeeded Jimmy Fallon’s back in 2014. Fallon’s house band The Roots followed him to “The Tonight Show,” so Meyers assembled the 8G Band, led by fellow “SNL” alum Fred Armisen. At first, Armisen was the regular drummer; he later only appeared for a week here and there due to his own busy schedule. The 8G Band’s guitarist Seth Jabour, bassist Syd Butler, and keyboardist Eli Janney were nightly staples. Armisen is still technically the bandleader.
IndieWire has confirmed that come Season 12, debuting in September 2024, the 8G Band will no longer be part of the show. The band is exiting due to budgetary reasons.
Vulture first reported the news in an interview published with “Late Night” associate musical director and keyboardist Janney.

Ever want to go day drinking with living comedy legend Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Now you can live vicariously through Seth Meyers thanks to a brand-new video from Late Night.
Following in the tradition of Meyers’ boozy day hangs with stars like Lizzo, Kristen Stewart and Will Forte, it didn’t take long for Veep‘s Louis-Dreyfus (who was promoting her new film Tuesday) to declare that the show was “a terrible idea.” Meyers promptly chugged their very first cocktail: a Julia Louis-Dry Martini. “Are you out of your mind?” she asked — the first of many, many questions she had throughout the 16-minute video.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined Seth Meyers for several rounds on his “Day Drinking” segment, leading the actress to immediately proclaim, “This show is a terrible idea.” In the late-night show clip, filmed at The Dawson in Manhattan, the pair kicked things off with a Julia Louis-Dry Martini.
The real drinking commenced with vice-presidential-themed round of drinks inspired by Louis-Dreyfus’ HBO series Veep. These included a Nelson Rockefeller (ruby port, Goldschläger and chocolate gold coins), an Alben W. Barkley (Old Forester mixed with Old Grand Dad and an old fashioned...

NBC isn’t cutting “Late Night” off the network’s regular schedule, but it is going to cut the show’s budget.
The 8G Band, a signature element of the Seth Meyers-led program since it launched in 2014, will stop appearing on the after-hours NBC show, commencing in the fall. Eli Janney, the combo’s keyboardist, told Vulture Tuesday that the trio was informed in recent weeks that the band would cease to be a regular part of the program due to budget cuts.
“In the end, NBC was adamant about where they wanted the budget to go,” Janney told the entertainment-news site. “It’s not just the band; there’s a whole crew that works with the band, so there’s a lot of people employed. I think this was an easy way for them to cut the budget. Easy is not the right word.”
NBC declined to make executives available for comment,...

Welcome to My Favorite Scene! In this series, IndieWire speaks to actors behind a few of our favorite television performances about their personal-best onscreen moment and how it came together.
One moment from “Seth Goes Day Drinking” with Kristen Stewart still haunts Seth Meyers.
The popular “Late Night with Seth Meyers” segment finds the host drinking an afternoon away with a celebrity guest while playing an escalating set of ridiculous games and challenges. For Stewart’s appearance in March 2024, Meyers and staff planned to have the Oscar-nominated actress do some purposely goofy cold scene readings — while appropriately tipsy.
Meyers just didn’t count on Stewart still being so damn good.
“My favorite moment of Kristen was making her act and watching her up close act was thrilling,” Meyers told IndieWire. “Big goosebumps-inducing. But I cut her off at one point [while she performed] and she was really mad. I don’t know if she was actually mad,...

Ahead, “The Bear” creator and showrunner Christopher Storer tells IndieWire about being a longtime friend and fan of Innovation Award recipient John Mulaney, and how it felt to watch the comedian thrive on “Everybody’s in LA”
As told to Proma Khosla. The following has been edited and condensed for clarity.
John’s one of my favorite people in the world, and I think long before we were friends, I was such a fan of his, not only as a performer, but also as a writer.

Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Kenan Thompson, Michael Che and Colin Jost all have hosted the Primetime Emmys in the past 15 years, but the late-night community once again is feeling aggrieved by the TV Academy as it heads into the latest awards season.
The central issue relates to the number of nominations in the Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Variety Series categories and the difficulty with fairly judging a wide range of shows that can be very different from each other.
Insiders tell Deadline that there needs to be a change in terms of how late-night shows and variety series are judged at the Emmys. However, no one can really agree what that change is.

Wally Feresten began the off-season rehabbing his right shoulder: A cortisone shot. Eight weeks of physical therapy. Discussions with an orthopedist. (Surgery can wait. He’s got a team to lead.)
While this might sound like the life of a professional athlete, Feresten works in TV. But as the cue card supervisor for Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Seth Meyers, it’s a job that seems just as intense. And with over 30 years in the game, he’s assisted every comedic heavy-hitter who has come through the doors of Studio 8H: cast members from Chris Farley to Kate McKinnon; hosts from Charles Barkley to Ryan Gosling.
LateNighter spoke with Feresten about how he got started in the cue card game, the two companies that grew out of it, and the daunting feat of an SNL anniversary show.

Vice President Kamala Harris is heading to late-night after all.
Harris was previously set to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday April 16, but later canceled the appearance, although no reason was given at the time.
She will now appear on the ABC show on Tuesday June 4.
If she makes it this time, it would be her second appearance on the show, having previously appeared in March 2019 when she was running for top office.
Last year, Harris appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in 2022 made her first late-night appearance since becoming VP on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she talked up her administration’s plans to fight climate change, restore abortion rights and pardon people with federal convictions for marijuana possession.

With Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Jon Stewart’s respective late-night programs in reruns, all eyes were on Jimmy “Isn’t It Past Your Jail Time?” Kimmel for his reaction to Donald Trump’s conviction.
On Thursday afternoon, Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts in the criminal trial related to hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he allegedly had sexual encounters in 2006.

Late Night with Seth Meyers may be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, but fans hoping for a big prime time clip show like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s recent tenth anniversary special are in for a disappointment.
As he shares in a new interview with Vanity Fair, Meyers doesn’t think his show “clips well” (which is debatable), but moreover, he says he finds it “very uncomfortable” to re-watch early episodes of the when he wore a suit, delivered a fidgety standing monologue, and the show’s original set resembled what Alec Baldwin described as “a sushi restaurant in Burbank.”
When he has watched back clips from those days, Meyers says it “feels like a fever dream,” adding that all he sees is “suits, and weird hands, and tiny chairs, and a weird desk.”
“It was probably the most scared and uncomfortable I was,” he says.

“The gatekeepers are gone,” Colin Jost told a roomful of journalists at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 27, before pivoting to the punchline: “Did you know that 90 percent of people now get their news exclusively from social media? And that must be true because I saw it in a random guy’s TikTok.”
For those (ever fewer) media gatekeepers who have major reach, trust is currency. And there’s still a halo effect for those TV stars with broadest viewership — i.e., network TV hosts — particularly evening and morning show anchors for NBC and ABC, a new THR/Morning Consult poll shows. The survey, conducted May 4-5 among a sample of 2,239 U.S. adults, asked opinions about 40-plus major TV news stars, as well as surveyed trends about America’s fractured media diet during a presidential campaign year.

We're returning to 1313 Mockingbird Lane yet again for a new television version of The Munsters, this time planned as a "darker reimagining" of the series.
Horror icon James Wan is producing a new series for Universal Studio Group (Usg) alongside showrunner Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) and Ingrid Bisu. Wan's company, Atomic Monster, will produce this latest iteration alongside Lab Brew. The original 1964 sitcom initially aired on CBS for 70 episodes from 1964 to 1966.
According to Variety, the logline for this new version of The Munsters describes it as a horror show that "lives and breathes within the Universal Monsterverse." Between this, the recent success of Abigail (which was based on Dracula's Daughter), and the upcoming Wolf Man from Leigh Whannell, it seems like Universal is intent on making their "Dark Universe" work, even if it doesn't end up being interconnected like the MCU.

Think The Munsters, but way more grim.
UCP is developing 1313, which has been described as a horror series that plays on the Universal Monsterverse, aka a reimagining of the classic 1964-66 CBS sitcom The Munsters.
Lindsey Anderson Beer is set to showrun the drama. The project is being developed by James Wan, Beer and Ingrid Bisu for UCP. Atomic Monster and Lab Brew are the production companies.
Executive producers are Beer and Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster. Bisu is a co-exec producer.
The last time someone tried to dust off The Munsters for the small screen was in 2017, when NBC opted to reboot the comedy with Odd Mom Out creator Jill Kargman and Seth Meyers. The half-hour single-camera version was going to follow members of an offbeat family who are determined to stay true to themselves but struggle to fit in in hipster Brooklyn.

Donna Langley has done it all. She slowly worked her way up the ranks at Universal Studios and now runs the whole entertainment side of NBCUniversal — motion pictures, Focus Features, television, and Peacock.
She’s one of the Hollywood executives who knows talent and how to make good, commercial movies. She’s kept the “Fast and the Furious” franchise going strong and landed Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” which scored almost $1 billion for the studio, along with seven Oscar wins, including Best Picture.
In short, she knows what she’s doing and, at a wide-ranging Kering Women in Motion chat at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week, where she was on hand to accept her award as the 2024 Women In Motion Award honoree, Variety’s co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh tried to pry some of her genius out of her to share.

Two of the most celebrated shows in Emmy history are set to experience a weird awards season.
Saturday Night Live, which has won more Emmys than any other show in television history, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which has won in its category eight years in a row, could both face the indignity of not being officially nominated for an Emmy as a result of submission rules.
The number of submissions in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category is expected to be significantly lower than last year. In addition to SNL and Oliver’s HBO show, the only other shows understood to be submitting in this category are CBS’ Taylor Tomlinson-hosted After Midnight, HBO’s Painting with John and The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman, which launched in April.
Per TV Academy rules, categories with fewer than 7 submissions will be “screened by the appropriate peer group...

There are a plenty of longtime Saturday Night cast members, yet there were no big exits — or hints of departures — on tonight’s Season 49 finale of the venerable NBC late-night program.
No SNL veterans were tearing up at the end of their sketches like Kate McKinnon did in the 2022 finale, it was all smiles and fist bumps at the curtain call, and, after another brutal joke swap, Colin Jost and Michael Che wrapped their 10th season together on Weekend Update by wishing everyone a great summer.
This was to be expected, given that no one from this year’s 17-strong troupe would willingly miss next year’s big celebrations – The Big 50.
Host Jake Gyllenhaal set the stage for what is to come in his opening monologue, noting that the finale was “the last episode before the big anniversary season.”

Now that the upfronts are over, it’s time to hand out much-deserved accolades to those who made this year’s presentations truly unforgettable.
Just remember, everyone’s a winner here. But these folks made the week extra special in New York.
Most Ominous Overture: Kelly Clarkson kicking off a week of upfronts that used to be the sole proprietorship of broadcast networks with tunes like “Whatever Makes You Stronger” and “Since U Been Gone.”
Best Dressed Code Breakers: Men like Bob Iger, Casey Bloys, Mike Hopkins and Rob Wade for appearing without ties. Nothing says we are hemorrhaging money more than a nude neck.
Earworm Award: Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em and Miley Cyrus’ Flowers that were played on a loop.
Best Joke of the Week: “NBC is launching the new adventure Destination X,” said Seth Meyers at the NBCU upfront. “It was originally titled the Linda Yaccarino story.

Studio 8G is going dark for two weeks as Late Night with Seth Meyers takes an extended two-week break starting Monday.
Meyers’ will be the only in-season show to take off next week. If this feels a bit like déjà vu, it may be because Meyers returned from another extended break just three weeks ago.
While he won’t be producing new episodes of Late Night, Meyers won’t likely be lounging on the beach, as he’s got a plate full of extracurriculars.
In addition to regularly performing standup (he’s set to tape his second comedy special this June), he hosts a podcast with his brother Josh called Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers and another podcast with The Lonely Island called The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast.
He also co-created the Emmy nominated IFC series Documentary Now, and wrote the 2022 childrens book “I’m Not Scared, You’re Scared,...

The 2024 Pen America Literary Gala welcomed hundreds of guests inside Manhattan’s Museum of Natural History on Thursday, including several prominent figures from the entertainment industry. Seth Meyers served as emcee for the annual black-tie fundraiser, which recognizes individuals who “celebrate, champion and defend freedom of expression.”
The gala took place following the recent cancellation of the annual Pen America Literary Awards and World Voices Festival. Several Pen-affiliated writers, including nine of those who received nods for the Pen/Jean Stein award for best book, chose to boycott these events in light of the organization’s response to the Israel-Hamas war. Pen America has been under scrutiny as several Pen-affiliated authors have alleged that the free speech and literary organization has favored Israel amidst the war and not properly acknowledged the violence afflicted upon Palestinian writers and journalists.

Welcome to the 259th episode of TV’s Top 5, The Hollywood Reporter’s TV podcast.
Every week, hosts Lesley Goldberg (West Coast TV editor) and Daniel Fienberg (chief TV critic) break down the latest TV news with context from the business and critical sides, welcome showrunners, executives and other guests, and provide a critical guide of what to watch (or skip, as the case may be).

1. Headlines
Will Ferrell, Anthony Mackie, Seth Meyers, The Other Black Girl and Not Dead Yet lead the week’s non-upfronts TV industry headlines.

Just when the Jimmys thought they were finally free of having to compete against John Oliver at the Emmys, another John has popped up in his place—John Mulaney.
Mulaney’s six-episode Netflix series Everybody’s in L.A. has been moved into the Outstanding Talk Series category. This means that, if nominated, Mulaney’s weird little show will face off against The Daily Show, Late Night, The Late Show, and The Tonight Show.
The last-minute change came about as a result of the Television Academy. Netflix had reportedly planned to submit the series for consideration in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category, which would see it go head-to-head with Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight. But, as Variety reports, “Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel,...

Everyone’s in the Emmy race, but Netflix and the Television Academy feel John Mulaney is better suited for a different category than intended — and that may only benefit his awards run.
Netflix’s live smash “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A,.” featuring the Emmy-winning stand-up comedian celebrating the quirks and unique personality of his beloved city, was massively popular on the platform. The streaming giant had planned to submit the show into the scripted variety category, where it would compete against the long-running “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” However, Variety has learned exclusively that Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon.

It used to be all about the trailers and the broadcast fall schedules. Now those are largely a thing of the past as the media sector’s upfront presentations to Madison Avenue ad buyers continue to evolve.
Following a week of spin and hard sales, here are eight central takeaways after Netflix, Amazon, NBCUniversal, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, YouTube and Fox made their pitches.

The Emmy race just got a bit more spicy.
Three popular YouTube web series have found their content creators taking a chance on themselves, which could significantly impact the Emmy race in some categories. The spicy chicken wing interview series “Hot Ones,” hosted by Sean Evans, has successfully petitioned to be included in the outstanding talk series category. It will compete against late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert.
Created by Chris Schonberger and produced by First We Feast, “Hot Ones” has garnered over three billion views since its debut in 2015. With three seasons airing per calendar year, seasons 21-23, totaling 36 episodes, all fall within the Emmy eligibility window from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024.

Les Savy Fav brought a little bit a lot of chaos to their rendition of “World Got Great” on Late Night with Seth Myers on Wednesday night.
The occasion was a particularly special one for the New York City indie punk band. By day, Bassist Syd Butler and guitarist Seth Jabour are members of Seth Meyers’ house band, the 8G Band. You wouldn’t guess they were the tenured employees based on the performance, however, because vocalist Tim Harrington was the one strutting across the studio like he owned the building.

Just because you’re not the Emmy-winning host of a hit late-night TV show doesn’t mean you can’t drink like one. Since 2015, Seth Meyers has made a habit of taking his show on the road—sometimes right across the street from his studio—and getting tipsy on the job to go “Day Drinking.”
Over the years, Meyers has roped everyone from his mom to Kristen Stewart into joining him for the popular segment. If you want to follow in his footsteps (minus the Oscar-nominated actor or Grammy-winning artist as your partner in crime), here’s a complete rundown of all places that have lured the Late Night host from behind his desk to behind their bars to do some “Day Drinking.”

Jimmy Kimmel is, without fail, the highlight of TV’s upfronts week every year; 2024 was no exception.
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host left no stone unturned in his annual profane and ruthless takedown of everything Disney (and everyone else in Hollywood) wants to sell to advertisers. This year that included the new Disney+ bundle with Hulu and Max, Netflix finally kissing the asses of said advertisers, the AMPTP, “The Golden Bachelor,” and finding a catchy new name for that sports-streaming service Disney is working on with Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery.
He started things off with a huge announcement: Bob Iger’s successor at Disney as CEO is… an artificially intelligent Bob Iger clone. AIger.
“Bob isn’t going anywhere ever again anywhere,” Kimmel said. “We uploaded him to the cloud so that we can live in peace and prosperity under the watchful AI of the Iger. All hail AIger!

Jimmy Kimmel Live! is dark this week, which gave its host the chance to do something he has never done before: be a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers. And the timing could not have been better.
After Meyers introduced Kimmel as “a fantastic comedian, writer, and human being who is also the longest tenured late-night host currently on TV,” the two wasted little time getting right down to business. For Meyers, that meant congratulating Kimmel for playing such a prominent role in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Kimmel accepted the kudos, but admitted that “it doesn’t compare to making so much fun of [Trump] at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that he actually ran for president… which was your fault. But it was exciting. You know, you put in the work and it really pays off.”

Throughout the six-episode run of Netflix’s Everybody’s in L.A., John Mulaney’s comedian guests kept trying to find ways to describe the live talk show’s chaotic-bordering-on-surreal atmosphere. “I feel like this entire show is a Banksy!” a confused Jon Stewart suggested. Nikki Glaser perhaps explained it best, by telling Mulaney, “It’s like an inside joke that only you are in on.”

Chris Hemsworth has been in the superhero genre for as long as one can remember, thanks to the iconic role of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he first donned back in 2011 for his titular movie. And he has been incredibly loyal to it, for one, considering how even a movie like Thor: Love and Thunder didn’t lead him to lash out at the MCU.

But while he is humble enough to act that way, multiple other actors from Marvel are not quite the same, and this fact greatly bothers the Extraction star. That being said, Hemsworth has a serious message to give to all of those other actors who went ahead to trash the saga after things went wrong with their superhero movies.

Seth Meyers has got plenty more “A Closer Look”s coming. The SNL star-turned-late-night-talk-show-host has signed on to stay seated behind the desk of NBC’s Late Night through 2028.
NBCUniversal just announced the show’s renewal, alongside news that Meyers’ production company, Sethmaker Shoemeyers, has also extended its contract to continue creating content across the network’s many platforms.
Meyers has spent the bulk of his career working within 30 Rock. The comedian joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2001, and was promoted to writing supervisor four years later. In 2005, Meyers began serving as SNL’s co-head writer alongside Tina Fey and Andrew Steele. When Fey departed the legendary sketch series in 2006, he took over her spot on “Weekend Update” and served as the show’s sole head writer for the next season.
Meyers, ever the workhorse, performed his final episode of SNL on February 1, 2014.

Meyers has spent the bulk of his career working within 30 Rock. The comedian joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2001, and was promoted to writing supervisor four years later. In 2005, Meyers began serving as SNL’s co-head writer alongside Tina Fey and Andrew Steele. When Fey departed the legendary sketch series in 2006, he took over her spot on “Weekend Update” and served as the show’s sole head writer for the next season.
Meyers, ever the workhorse, performed his final episode of SNL on February 1, 2014.

Fresh from skewering his employer, Seth Meyers has been rewarded with a new contract at NBC.
Meyers will continue to host Late Night with Seth Meyers through 2028 and has extended his overall deal with Universal Studio Group.
It comes three years after NBC struck a deal with the former SNL star and head writer to renew the show through 2025.
It means that there will be stability across late-night on NBC until at least 2026 after Jimmy Fallon extended his contract to host The Tonight Show in 2021.
Meyers is the latest late-night host to strike a new deal; John Oliver struck a deal in December to continue hosting Last Week Tonight through 2026, Stephen Colbert closed a new three-year deal for The Late Show on CBS last year and Jimmy Kimmel inked a three-year contract with ABC to keep hosting his eponymous show in 2022.
As part of the agreement, Meyers’ production company Sethmaker Shoemeyers,...

For one magical week, everybody with hands anywhere near advertising purse strings is being pampered like royalty — unless, lord help them, they attempted to capture one frame of the Wicked trailer. Because anybody who did that during Monday morning’s NBCUniversal upfront presentation is likely halfway to a black site by now.
“We do have security around the venue with night vision and laser pointers,” cautioned chief content officer Donna Langley from the Radio City Music Hall stage, the room suddenly lit emerald green. The crowd laughed, but she wasn’t kidding. Four people in my immediate vicinity were scolded with flashlights for phone use when the yet-to-be-released full trailer of the Broadway adaptation aired its sneak peek.
There is no need to dissect the irony of a media giant giving one of the most compelling slots in its near-two-hour plea for advertising to a feature film. There’s no...

Seth Meyers has been an annual tradition at NBCUniversal’s Upfronts. Much like Jimmy Kimmel at the Disney event, Meyers loves to roast the television industry and his own employer.
This year was no different, taking shots at NBC, Peacock, Dick Wolf, Bravo star Tom Sandoval, and former ad chief Linda Yaccarino in a five-minute bit.
Check out the jokes below:
“Welcome to the NBCU Upfront. If you’re looking for the Fox News upfront, that’s happening outside a lower Manhattan courtroom.”
“What a joy to be back in Radio City; I asked an NBC executive ‘Why do you hole up here every year?’ and they said ‘I like looking at the marquee and thinking, sure, it’s a tricky time for TV, but it could be worse, we could be in radio’.”
“It’s been a very good day for me, I found $20 on street this morning. Long story short,...
