In an effort to provide real-time commentary and analysis during the upcoming midterm elections, the NBC show “Late Night with Seth Meyers” will go live on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Joining Meyers on the program will be MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, host of “All in with Chris Hayes.” Additionally, “Late Night’s” Amber Ruffin will do a live version of her popular segment “Amber Says What.”

“‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ has dominated the broadcast competition in its 12:35 a.m. ET timeslot, winning the time period in every key ratings category during the just-completed 2017-18 Nielsen season with an average 0.36 rating in adults 18-49 and 1.5 million viewers overall,” NBC noted in today’s announcement. “In the key adult 18-49 demographic, ‘Late Night’ won every week of the season when in originals and generated margins for the season of +38% over ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden.'”

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” will be pre-empted on Election Night due to news coverage in the Eastern and Central time zones.
