Seth Meyers going late-night

While NBC executives plot to replace Jay Leno with Jimmy Fallon as host of “The Tonight Show,” we’re told that “Saturday Night Live” head writer and “Weekend Update” host Seth Meyers will move into Fallon’s late-night slot. A source told us, “Lorne Michaels wants Seth to take over from Fallon. It would be perfect for him. Tina Fey’s name had also come up, but she has said she was too busy to do it.” Work is already under way to bring “The Tonight Show” from Los Angeles to New York, and NBC is building a state-of-the-art studio for Fallon at 30 Rock. The network is trying to get Leno, 62, to bow out gracefully from the hosting job so it can unveil Fallon at its presentation to advertisers in May.
