"Seth Meyers has discussed his approach for taking over NBC&amp;#039;s Late Night. Meyers begins hosting the NBC series on Monday (February 24), following in the footsteps of David Letterman, Conan O&amp;#039;Brien and Jimmy Fallon.  The comic recently opened up to Rolling Stone about the differences between Late Night and his former job as &amp;#039;Weekend Update&amp;#039; anchor on Saturday Night Live. &amp;quot;With almost no exceptions, I&amp;#039;ve had a good sense of what [Bill Hader&amp;#039;s character] Stefon&amp;#039;s going to say next,&amp;quot; Meyers said. &amp;quot;And the first time a conversation is not going well, I can&amp;#039;t use my go-to move at a dinner party, where I say, &amp;#039;I need to get another drink.&amp;quot; Meyers went on to discuss the format of Late Night, explaining that he does not expect to differ wildly from the show&amp;#039;s established traditions. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not trying to deconstruct the idea of what a late-night show is. We&amp;#039;re just trying to do a really good one,&amp;quot; he said. The presenter further explained: &amp;quot;Part of not dumbing it down means you&amp;#039;re going to be out there twice a night with something that does not land.   &amp;quot;At &amp;#039;Weekend Update&amp;#039; we called it &amp;#039;one for us,&amp;#039; and those are the jokes where you just try to remember to keep the twinkle in your eye, knowing it&amp;#039;s about to eat some level of s**t.&amp;quot; Meyers will be joined on his new series by bandleader Fred Armisen, and first week guests Kanye West, Lena Dunham and Amy Poehler.
