Seth Meyers' Late Night Show Airs Reruns Amid Controversy
12/4/2025, 1:37:19 AM
Reruns Scheduled Following Thanksgiving Episodes
This week, *Late Night with Seth Meyers* will air reruns instead of new episodes. The decision follows a week where the show produced four new episodes, including a special Thanksgiving episode featuring Meyers' family. NBC announced that the reruns provide a much-needed break for Meyers and his crew after their holiday work. This practice of airing reruns after Thanksgiving is consistent, as the show also took a similar break in 2024.
Featured Reruns and Guest Appearances
The reruns scheduled for this week include notable episodes from earlier in the season. On Monday, the show will re-air an episode featuring former *Saturday Night Live* castmate Maya Rudolph, who promoted her Apple TV+ series *Loot*. Other guests include comedian Adam Pally. Tuesday's episode features Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, co-creators of *The Chair Company*, along with comedian Stavros Halkias. Wednesday's episode showcases Tiffany Haddish, Cristin Milioti, and filmmaker Joachim Trier, highlighting the show's diverse guest lineup.
Criticism from Donald Trump
In a notable incident, former President Donald Trump publicly criticized Meyers, calling for his firing on Truth Social. Trump described Meyers as suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and labeled his show a "Ratings DISASTER." This criticism is part of a broader pattern, as Meyers has faced Trump's ire multiple times throughout the year.
Meyers' Response to Criticism
Meyers addressed Trump's comments in a subsequent episode, expressing that he is not troubled by the former president's disapproval. He acknowledged Trump's right to voice his opinions, stating, "I take no issue with the president voicing his displeasure with my show. That is his right and, on a lot of nights, he’s got a point." This response reflects Meyers' approach to criticism and his commitment to his comedic style.
Conclusion
*Late Night with Seth Meyers* continues to navigate the late-night landscape while balancing production schedules and external pressures. The reruns this week serve as a reminder of the show's holiday practices and the ongoing dialogue between Meyers and political figures, particularly Donald Trump. The show airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET/PT on NBC.
