Seth Meyers

Ready for Every Weeknight Update?

In a move that's been rumored for week, Seth Meyers was officially named the next host of Late Night on NBC today.

He will take over for Jimmy Fallon when that comedian slides into Jay Leo's spot at 11:35 p.m. in 2014.

Said Bob Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment, in announcing the news:

"We think Seth is one of the brightest, most insightful comedy writers and performers of his generation. His years at SNL's ‘Weekend Update’ desk, not to mention being head writer of the show for many seasons, helped him hone a topical brand of comedy that is perfect for the ‘Late Night’ franchise."

Regis Philbin has been out for awhile. Will Seth Meyers soon be in?

Showbiz 411 reports that the Saturday Night Live star is the leading contender to fill the permanent co-hosting seat alongside Kelly Ripa each morning, as he'll kick off a week of guest-hosting Monday - in the middle of July Sweeps - that may determine the funny man's fate.

If Meyes does land the gig, he would continue to anchor Weekend Update, but would resign as lead writer on SNL.

The other possible candidates for this coveted position are former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan and singer Josh Groban.

Do you think Seth Meyers is the right man for the morning job?

Seth Meyers is a very funny man. Seriously, did you listen to his remarks at The White House Correspondents' Dinner?

Now, according to The National Enquirer, homemaking maven Martha Stewart is the latest to benefit from this comedian's sense of humor.

That tabloid claims the seemingly mismatched pair are a couple, as "Seth has been on Martha’s TV show four times and they’ve grown to like each other a lot." Moreover, a source says Stewart "needs to laugh" these days.

How come?

President Barack Obama took the stage at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night and took on both Donald Trump and the "birther" nonsense.

Entering to Hulk Hogan's old WWE anthem "Real American" as Obama's birth certificate flashed on screen, he then treated the crowd to his "birth video."

After poking fun at himself and various Republicans, Obama seemed to delight in laying into the Donald (who was there) for what felt like an eternity.

Regardless of your political leanings, you gotta admit he killed it:

Following our 44th President, host Seth Meyers took to the podium and went off on all things cable news, birth certificates, and of course, Donald Trump.

Watch Seth's effort - and read Trump's response to being the butt of so many jokes (spoiler alert: he was not exactly pleased) - after the jump:
