We've seen Jimmy Fallon, Jay Leno, and Carson Daly successfully do it, and according to Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, "There's no job after it." Now, we have the privilege of seeing a familiar face do it: Seth Meyers.
This article from the magazine is a little more funny than fashion, but it is still relevant to the creative society. Written by Jason Gay, it explains to us Meyers' plan to take over the spot for late night talk show host following Fallon's Tonight Show. This spot has typically been taken by someone unknown and inexperienced, such as Conan O'Brien, which is what makes Meyers so perfect for the position. We have been laughing with him for years, whether it was on SNL, the Golden Globes, or just any other appearance the man has had on television.
The thing that makes the post-Tonight Show show so significant is that it completes the day of the average American. People watching all over the nation rely on this show to make up for the crappy day they had at work, or the fight they got into with their friend. Whoever hosts this show has to be able to send Americans to bed feeling lighthearted and gleeful. Seth Meyers was born for this, and everyone thinks so. It seems the entire world is anticipating this show taking off. It's all up to Seth to make our day, and no one doubts he can do it.
