Seth Meyers went there! Meyers hit NBCuniversal’s early stage Monday morning, giving a powerful monologue to his company overlord – the last joke drew the biggest laugh (and gasp!).
He pointed out by "We have some great comeback shows this year as well as some new ones. "Ted" is returning for Peacock's second season, but for advertising sales we're just calling it "bears."
joke. He then used his upcoming new show by his friends Amy Poehler and Mike Schur to kill: "'dig' follows four women working in archaeological excavations in Greece, who discover a long-term burial secret.
Prosper, nail it. "I was told to pack here!" he quipped. This may be the first time Raul's name has been released on the NBCU's early stage since the former "Today" host was fired in 2017 on sexual harassment charges.
Beyond that, Meyers inexplicably named his cable derivative (formerly known as "Spinco") as the confusing "Versant" in the baking of Comcast.
"Yes, 'Versant'," he said. "So remember to ask your doctor if it's right for you. Actually, 'Versant' sounds like what you're hearing in the news, making you wonder if I'm soaked in AMD? When I heard that the company was called Versant, I thought it was formal. I thought there was no good name. Imagine someone jealous of you defeating you "Toubi". We call it "roku?" Believe it or not, someone has accepted "roku". Snatch it away faster than "quibi".
"I was told Comcast is called NBCuniversal to emphasize corporate versatility," he added. "They're so versatile. In fact, they're so versatile, they're willing to change it again when you don't like it. By the way, you know what's a catchy name? SpinCo. Here's the good news. It's not about the name, it's about quality. Versant will consist of USA Network, CNBC, E!, Oxygen, Syfy, MSNBC and the Golf Channel. So bad news, Mr. President, if you want the Golf Channel, you will have to also get MSNBC."
This led to mention of Trump's lawsuit against Paramount in "60 Minutes", but Meyers used it to adjust his boss. “When talking about President Trump, his administration is currently suing CBS for $20 billion, while NBC has avoided Trump’s anger because their anger is very smart.
Aiming Bravo: "Oh, before I forgot, there are over 25 real housewives here today. I legally tell you that it's like announcing the use of strobe lights during the show," he said. "It's cool. Bravo ordered a new real housewife to stand out from the real housewife of Rhode Island. I'm excited if we're going to make one in New England, that's the heavier place, you know, no one drinks the wine. "Oh come on, Casey you're a drama." "So, this is "the real housewife of Southie" and they will call it Versant!"
Meyers took advantage of the new Pope Leo Xiv from Chicago, which received some gags from Dick Wolf: “I can say that it’s been a big year for us as a proud member of the NBC family. You know Dick Wolf’s agent is on the phone with the Vatican and said, “Dick layoffs.” NBC is Dick Wolf's time. This is part of our ongoing commitment to making sure people are scared of Chicago. ”
Also, as NBC announced on Monday that it will be airing on its 100th anniversary next year, Meyers joked: "NBC is 100 years old, so you can sell it in 18 to 49 demos, right? Why not put your ad on the side of an old church. That's right. Next year, NBC isn't very funny, but it's really funny at first because it's really funny because it's really funny because it's really funny because it's really funny because it's really funny because it's really funny because it's really funny, so it's just a first grade, and it's really fun again.
OK, that person didn't exactly fly with the ad crowd, and the ad crowd wasn't referenced from the beginning. "It's a 'SNL' joke," Meyers had to explain. "Did you know 'snl' was 50 years old last year?"
Meyers also joked that he admired NBC's "consistency... When I woke up to Hoda Kotb and ended the day with Lester Holt, I just felt like everything would be fine. What was that? Did they both leave? We're all going to die."
This may be true, but at least we have "eternal evil" that we can expect later this year. Director John M. Chu revealed the trailer for the film to the crowd, asking the audience not to record it, and Meyers quipped: "I said this early last year and I will say it again this year. I shot the "evil" trailer for my phone in the backstage and I'm happy to play it to anyone here."
Meyers offered a sarcastic offer to the media buyers in attendance: “I am Seth Meyers, or at the right price,” Tostitos presented Seth Meyers. "I hosted 12:30 if I could sell the right to naming to my children.
"My daughter's name? Maybe it's Adelaide, maybe it's Maybe it's Maybe it's Ford F-150. I'm not picky. You guys, everything is for sale. They can melt her with aquafina water. We'll do a reshoot. The industry is in a state of changing. We're very open!"
