Seth Meyers Delivers Hilarious Monologue at NBCUniversal Upfronts
Seth Meyers brought his signature wit and humor to the NBCUniversal upfront stage, delivering a strong monologue that had the audience laughing and gasping. The late-night host didn’t hold back, taking playful jabs at his corporate overlords and making some bold jokes that hit the mark.
One of the standout moments of Meyers’ monologue was when he joked about renaming the show “Ted” to “The Bear” for the sake of ad sales. But it was his dig at the upcoming show “Dig,” produced by Amy Poehler and Mike Schur, that really got the crowd going. Meyers quipped, “‘Dig’ follows four women who work on an archaeological dig in Greece and uncover a long-buried secret.

Meyers didn’t stop there, taking aim at Comcast for the puzzling name choice of “Versant” for its cable spin-off. He likened the name to a pharmaceutical product, joking, “Remember to ask your doctor if Versant is right for you.” The comedian didn’t hold back in poking fun at the corporate decision-making process, showcasing his sharp observational humor.
The monologue also touched on a range of topics, from President Trump’s legal battles to Bravo’s lineup of Real Housewives. Meyers managed to weave in references to NBC’s programming, including the popular “Chicago” series and the upcoming 100th anniversary special. His jokes were well-received by the audience, showcasing his ability to entertain and engage.
Overall, Seth Meyers’ monologue at the NBCUniversal upfronts was a hit, showcasing his comedic talent and sharp wit. The audience was left in stitches, proving once again why Meyers is a standout in the world of late-night comedy.
