Another popular late-night TV segment is getting a spinoff. The one-night special is appropriately set for New Year's Eve.
"Seth Goes Day Drinking" from Late Night with Seth Meyers will help viewers get into the holiday spirit. NBC plans to air a "best of" compilation on December 31, 2024 starting at 11:30 p.m. ET. The hour-long special will bring audiences right into 2025.
Here's what NBC had to say about turning "Seth Goes Day Drinking" into a TV special to ring in the new year:
"Seth Meyers rings in the New Year by looking back on his many Day Drinking segments. While we encourage you to drink responsibly, we will show you many instances where Seth did NOT because he was hanging with Rihanna, Post Malone, Will Forte, Kelly Clarkson, Kristen Stewart, Kevin Hart, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lizzo and Dua Lipa. "
Fans will want to pay extra close attention to any highlights from Seth Meyers and Rihanna day drinking. The late-night TV host admitted that he got the drunkest he's ever been while out with the music and fashion icon.
In the five years since the video debuted, it's been viewed over 22 million times. Most of the credit goes to Rihanna's dedicated fanbase. But the clip can be rewatched again and again to see Meyers try to keep pace.
Meyers also credits Rihanna with changing the day drinking segment for Late Night. The host said that after Rihanna agreed to do it, many more celebrities expressed interest. Since then, more and more A-list stars have hit the bar with Meyers.
Seth Meyers and Kristen Stewart day drinking may be the best one
While Seth Meyers day drinking with Lizzo, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa created some memorable moments, the best edition may have been with Kristen Stewart.
Thankfully, NBC plans to incorporate some of Stewart and Meyers' hijinks in the New Year's Eve special. Meyers admitted Stewart's March 2024 appearance was one of his favorite from the year.
“I saw her on ‘SNL’ and realized, ‘Oh, she also has these weird, funny moves, that I feel like none of us had been lucky enough to see,'”Meyers told IndieWire. “Even with all that said, when her team said she wanted to do it I think our first reaction was, ‘Buuut does she drink? Aaaand is she fun when she drinks?’ insisted that both of those were true. And certainly, they weren’t lying.”
Stewart delivered and further proved she's one of late-night TV's best guests. "Seth Goes Day Drinking" certainly benefited from her perfomance, so it's fitting the moment will be revisited during NBC's special on New Year's Eve.
