The festive season has arrived, bringing with it the hustle and bustle of last-minute Christmas shopping and preparations for holiday visitors. As families gear up for the celebrations, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” is taking a seasonal hiatus.
This year’s winter break isn’t unique to Meyers; in fact, most late-night shows have paused their broadcasts until 2026. The decision to go dark stems from a significant drop in linear viewership over the holiday period, as many fans prioritize time with their families over late-night entertainment. The latest episode aired on December 18, 2025, marking the end of a successful season of laughs and engaging interviews.
With everyone in a holiday spirit, it’s understandable that celebrities and late-night show hosts alike are opting to enjoy this time with loved ones rather than participate in interviews. As a result, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” is expected to resume airing on Monday, January 5, 2026, aligning with the return of “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central and fostering a collective return to the late-night lineup.
In the meantime, fans can catch a selection of reruns throughout Christmas week. These episodes not only remind viewers of earlier highlights but also provide an opportunity to relive moments from the show that may have been missed. The lineup includes:
– **Monday, Dec. 22:** Featuring Kirsten Dunst and Tony Shalhoub.
– **Tuesday, Dec. 23:** Featuring Channing Tatum, Megan Moroney, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
– **Wednesday, Dec. 24:** The show will be preempted for Christmas Mass.
– **Thursday, Dec. 25:** A special Christmas Day rerun of the Thanksgiving episode featuring the Meyers family, a delightful tradition that underscores Seth Meyers’ commitment to balancing work with family time.
While there is no programming currently scheduled for Friday, December 26, fans can enjoy previously aired episodes via Peacock or the official YouTube channel, ensuring a continuous stream of humor during the holiday season. “Late Night with Seth Meyers” returns to the NBC lineup weeknights at 12:37/11:37c.
