On what date did Late Night with Seth Meyers premiere on NBC?

Late Night with Seth Meyers premiered on NBC on February 24, 2014. Seth Meyers took over the program after Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon had each hosted earlier eras of Late Night.

Meyers joined the show after a long run as a performer and head writer on Saturday Night Live. His version retained the franchise’s combination of monologue comedy, interviews, sketches, and a house band, while placing greater emphasis on political commentary and writers’ room-style discussion.

The premiere occurred shortly after Jimmy Fallon moved from Late Night to The Tonight Show. This succession made the date part of a broader NBC late-night transition rather than an isolated launch.

Late Night with Seth Meyers is separate from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, even though both programs air on NBC and occupy adjacent late-night positions. Meyers also hosts the segment “A Closer Look,” one of the show’s best-known recurring features.
