'Late Night With Seth Meyers' to air live election-night coverage

Seth Meyers' "Late Night" will also be going live on Nov. 6 to weigh in on the results of the midterm elections.

The NBC star will offer real-time commentary and analysis during his usual East Coast time slot of 12:35 a.m., NBC announced on Wednesday. West Coast viewers will see a tape-delayed version of the same show when it airs here at its usual time.

On CBS, "The Late Show" star Stephen Colbert will also be hosting a live telecast to keep up with election results. His show airs earlier than "Late Night" (at 11:35 p.m. Eastern) and will also be tape-delayed for West Coast viewers.

"Late Night's" lead-in, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," which airs at the same time as "The Late Show," will be preempted by news coverage of the election in the Eastern and Central time zones, NBC said.

Meyers will be joined by MSNBC's Chris Hayes and "Late Night's" Amber Ruffin, who will deliver a live version of her pop culture segment, "Amber Says What."

Meyers, the former "Saturday Night Live" head writer and "Weekend Update" host, will return to his old stomping grounds this weekend to host "SNL."
