Seth Meyers on Parenting, Podcasting & Late Night
Has late-night TV passed its peak? Ticket sales for live comedy shows are booming and there\u2019s no shortage of streaming stand-up specials, but the same is hardly true for late-night television. Is it the business model or the divisive nature of political comedy that\u2019s driving viewership down? Either way, hosting a late-night show remains one of the most coveted jobs in comedy, and in this interview, Kara talks to one of the best. Seth Meyers, SNL veteran, host of Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC, and the host of too many podcasts to name, joins the show to talk about the future of late-night; what he\u2019s learned in 10 years of hosting; the utter lack of diversity in the industry; and what a second Trump presidency could mean for comedians.\xa0\n\nKara and Seth also talk about his new stand-up special \u201cDad Man Walking,\u201d which premieres on HBO and Max this weekend; how the comic folds his personal life and parenting stories into his acts and what his family thinks of it; why there are so many stand-up specials today; and which streaming platform does it best. Plus, Kara asks Seths about his \u201cmanic\u201d content creation and his endeavors into podcasting.\n\n\u201cDad Man Walking\u201d is available on HBO and Max this Saturday October 26, 2024.\n\nQuestions?
