Seth Meyers walking from the Saturday Night Live stage to his stage next door might not be the biggest surprise for his first promo of Late Night when he takes over Feb. 25th, but do realize that SNL, Late Night, and The Tonight Show will all be under the same roof. 

We’re just saying, get ready for plenty of show crossover bits.

Seth Meyers Might Have a More Streamlined Version of ‘Late Night’

If you’ve seen Seth Meyers in his tenure at SNL, you can make an educated guess that his taking over Late Night will be more than a little different than Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. 

According to Meyers in a recent interview, there will be less music and more sketches, which seems to be the new streamlined version of the late night talk show format that networks have been going for (The Pete Holmes Show, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, Nikki and Sara Live).

You’re probably curious as we are to see where Late Night with Seth Meyers will fit in with “@midnight” & Pete Holmes Show just ending along with Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on,

Considering they’re staying in NYC, how much different will The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon be from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon really?

Alec Baldwin joins the late night foray with his own talk show Up Late with Alec Baldwin on MSNBC. It premieres tonight at 10PM and probably won’t be anything like the rest of late night, even The Daily Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, or Totally Biased.

Lexus To Have Improvisers Do Live Ad During Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

An interesting experiment is coming tonight in advertising in an attempt for you to not mute, walk away, look at your mobile device and ignore a TV commercial. In promotion of a new car model, Lexus is having improvisers take suggestions, then improvise a car commercial during the broadcast of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Our guess is that they are in no way going to call this “Whose Car Is This Anyway?”, right?
