Late night talk show host Seth Meyers could be the next late night show to be axed — at least, that's a real fear he has.

While chatting with Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expertpodcastback in May, Meyers was asked if he worries about the future of his show.

“Yeah, I do. I mean, only because it is such a [weird] time we’re living in as far as the entertainment industry,” Meyers said on the July 28 episode. “I shifted from fearing that I wouldn’t be good enough. Now, my fear is weirdly more outside of my control, which is we might just, at some point, the ecosystem might not support it.”

"I guess that’s better than thinking it’s your fault, but it is weird to not feel any control over it," he added.

Meyers' comments were made before Stephen Colbert announced that CBS has canceled his late night show.

There have been a plethora of rumors surrounding the late night landscape amid the current political climate. Following the news about Colbert's show, rumors that ABC will follow suit by discontinuing Jimmy Kimmel Live!surfaced. Though Jimmy Kimmel is currently under contract with the network through 2026, it's unclear what decisions will be made past that.

After Colbert shared the news about his late night show, Kimmel took to his Instagram Stories with a clear message in support of the comedian.
