SETH MEYERS EXTENDS NBC CONTRACT THROUGH FEBRUARY 2021

Meyers to Stay in the Peacock Fold as "Late Night" Continues to Dominate in 12:30 A.M. Timeslot

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Jan. 13, 2016 - Late-night host and "Saturday Night Live" veteran Seth Meyers has extended his contract with NBC Entertainment through February 2021.

Meyers began his tenure at "Late Night" in February 2014 and since his arrival the show has remained a vital component of NBC's late-night dominance.

"I can't thank NBC enough for continuing to support our show and this more than makes up for my disappointment in not getting cast in 'The Wiz,'" said Meyers.

"As a writer, performer and host, Seth has a rich history at NBC and we are thrilled that he'll be at the helm of 'Late Night' for many more years," said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. "His knowledge of both current events and pop culture is unparalleled and he brings that expertise to 'Late Night' every night. The show couldn't be in better hands."

Meyers will also host a 2016 New Year's Eve "Late Night" 10 p.m. primetime special that will highlight all the news and current events of the year.

"Late Night with Seth Meyers," which airs at 12:30 a.m. and often outperforms "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" despite starting an hour later, averaged a 0.51 rating, 3 share and 1.658 million viewers overall in the fourth quarter of 2015, to maintain 100% of its 18-49 rating year to year and grow by 4% in total viewers. For the quarter, "Late Night" stretched its advantage over CBS's "Late Late Show" to +50% in adults 18-49 (with a 0.51 rating versus a 0.34), up from the prior year's +46% (0.51 vs. 0.35), and increased its margin over ABC's "Nightline" in their head-to-head half-hour from 12:30-1 a.m. ET to +47% (0.56 vs. 0.38 for that half-hour), up from the year-earlier +39% (0.57 vs. 0.41).

From Universal Television and Broadway Video, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" is executive produced by Lorne Michaels ("The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Saturday Night Live") and produced by Mike Shoemaker ("Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," "Saturday Night Live").
