Seth Meyers admits hes worried about NBC | TV Shows

Seth Meyers has admitted he’s uncertain about his future at NBC after Stephen Colbert was axed from CBS.

The 51-year-old, who has been hosting Late Night With Seth Meyers since 2014, admitted he’d feel upset if his show was canceled as he opened up about his mental health.

Joining Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast, Seth was asked if he had any “fear” that his late-night career could “end tomorrow.” He admitted, “I do. I mean, only because it is such a time we’re living in, as far as the entertainment industry.”

Seth continued, “There is this weird thing that I feel like I shifted from fearing that I wouldn’t be good enough.

“And now my fear is weirdly more outside of my control, which is … just at some point, the ecosystem might not support [late night].”

Despite the uncertainty of the future of late night TV and “whatever time we’re living in now,” Seth admitted he has survived worse in his career.

He explained, “Early on in the show, we had some NBC executives actually say to us, ‘We’re very worried about how the show’s gonna go’.”

Armchair Expert co-host Monica Padman then asked Seth if his financial security helps ease his worries about a possible cancellation.

The comedian replied, “I would worry about myself, like, mental health-wise. But I put a lot of thought into diversifying my skill set. Certainly, financially, I could have been fine just doing the show for the last eleven years. But then it was like, oh, you know what? I feel like there’s something to trying to build a stand-up career and trying to do other things.”

He added, “It’s more like, try to find something that makes you as happy as late night’s making you, but it’s not just to have busy work or anything. It’s like, oh, I like these things, too. And there’s no one entity that can take everything away at once, and I think that’s the scariest situation to be in.”
