'Late Night with Seth Meyers' books Amy Poehler as first guest
However nervous Seth Meyers might be for his first show as host of NBC's "Late Night," he'll at least have a comfort zone with his first guest.
Meyers told reporters Sunday (Jan. 19) at NBC's winter press tour day that Amy Poehler, his former "Weekend Update" co-anchor, will be the first guest on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," which debuts Feb. 24. He jokes that he wanted to get Will Smith and U2, but new "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon beat him to it.
"She's basically Bono's common-law wife now, based on what happened at the Golden Globes," Meyers says.
"Late Night" is still a work in progress five weeks out from its premiere, Meyers and producer Mike Shoemaker admit. Guests are still being booked, and they're trying to figure out both comedy bits and other things, including a house band: "Not to be coy about music -- we are still figuring it out.
