After the host tested positive for COVID-19, the remaining episodes of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” have been cancelled.
Meyers tweeted about his positive test result on Tuesday but said he was well and credited the vaccine and a booster dose for his good health. On Monday, he hosted a one-of-a-kind show.
NBC has cancelled the four shows scheduled from Tuesday to Friday. “Tune in next Monday to see what cool location we will try and pass off as a studio!” Meyers tweeted.
“Late Night with Seth Meyers” is just the latest TV show to grapple with the new surge in the pandemic. “Saturday Night Live” had to scramble to broadcast a new show last month without a live audience and with taped sketches. Fellow TV host Jimmy Fallon also revealed a positive COVID-19 result right before Christmas, despite being fully vaccinated.
Hugh Jackman, Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Messing, and LL Cool J are among the other celebrities who have lately tested positive.
