Episode recap

Late Night with Seth Meyers returned for its second season with episode 110, a program that continued the series’ established format of a host‑driven monologue, comedic segments, guest interviews and a musical performance. The episode was recorded at the NBC studios in New York City and aired as part of the show’s regular weekly schedule on the NBC network, which has carried the series since its debut in 2014. Seth Meyers, the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member who has anchored the program since its inception, opened the broadcast with a topical monologue that addressed current events in a style consistent with the series’ talk‑and‑comedy genre. The monologue set the tone for an hour of entertainment that blended humor with conversation.

The guest lineup for the episode comprised three performers from the world of television and stand‑up comedy. Actor Eric Stonestreet, known for his work in sitcoms, appeared for an interview in which he discussed his recent projects and career milestones. He was joined by actor and comedian Mike Epps, whose background includes both film and stand‑up work, and by actor‑comedian Nick Swardson, who is recognized for his roles in comedy films and his stand‑up performances. Each guest sat down with Meyers for a segment that followed the program’s typical interview structure, allowing the host to explore the guests’ current endeavors and comedic perspectives.

In addition to the conversation segments, the episode featured a musical component that highlighted singer Elle King. King took the stage as a sit‑in performer with The 8G Band, the house ensemble that provides live music for the show. The collaboration gave King an opportunity to showcase her vocal style while the band supplied its characteristic accompaniment, a format that the series routinely employs to blend music with its comedic atmosphere.

The episode adhered to the series’ TV‑14 rating, reflecting its blend of humor and topical commentary. As part of a series that has been recognized with Emmy nominations for outstanding variety talk series, this installment maintained the production values and audience expectations that have defined Late Night with Seth Meyers throughout its run.
