Late Night With Seth Meyers Lands Its First-Ever Emmy Nominations

After eight seasons on the air, Late Night With Seth Meyers finally earned its first Emmy nomination for Best Variety Talk Series on Tuesday.

Meyers is up against Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

"This is an honor made all the sweeter by happening the same day @rheaseehorn got hers!" Meyers tweeted Tuesday, a reference to the Better Call Saul star's long-awaited nomination (she received two, for Better Call Saul and short form series Cooper's Bar).
