• NBC extended Late Night with Seth Meyers in May 2024 through 2028, and multiple outlets report there are no fresh negotiations as a show representative declined comment.
• NBC’s late-night executive Katie Hockmeyer previously defended the decision to keep Meyers, citing his decade-long rapport with audiences and established segments.
• Trump’s post continues his recent offensive against late-night hosts after celebrating CBS’s cancellation of Stephen Colbert and suggesting ABC and NBC should face license actions or payments.
