Che and Jost anchor the "Weekend Update" segment of "Saturday Night Live" and are head writers on the long-running sketch show.

NEW YORK (AP) — Seth Myers says his new son was born in the lobby of their apartment building.

The "Late Night with Seth Meyers" host told his audience Monday about the birth of his second child.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — As the host of the Oscars in two months, Jimmy Kimmel watched Seth Meyers on the Golden Globes and felt that one of the monologue jokes was written specifically for him.

Meyers on Sunday said he felt like the first dog being sent into outer space, as the first awards show host since the flood of reports about sexual misconduct began with stories about Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's behavior. How would the audience react to jokes about the topic?

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Upcoming Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel says it's hard to tell how the public will react to the subject of sexual misconduct when he delivers his monologue at the event in two months.

With a red carpet dyed black by actresses dressed in a color-coordinated statement, the Golden Globes were transformed into an A-list expression of female empowerment in the post-Harvey Weinstein era. Oprah Winfrey led the charge.

"For too long women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men," said Winfrey, accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. "But their time is up. Their time is up!"

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Thelma & Louise" are reuniting at the Golden Globe Awards.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Seth Meyers regularly blends bad news with comedy on his nightly talk show, but as the host of Sunday's Golden Globes, he has the unenviable task of setting the tone for Hollywood's awards season as the sexual harassment crisis continues spreading throughout the industry and beyond.

Meyers signed on for the job after the scandal broke in the fall, so he knew what he was getting into.

"And my first instinct was, 'Oh this is probably not the most fun year to do this,'" he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Halle Berry, Gal Gadot and Chris Hemsworth are among the first presenters announced for next month's Golden Globe Awards.

NEW YORK (AP) — While Seth Meyers doesn't shy away from the biggest news stories of the day, the ongoing allegations against Harvey Weinstein make it more challenging.

The "Late Night with Seth Meyers" host says it's a delicate balance to joke about Weinstein as the avalanche of sexual harassment and assault allegations continue to roll in against the fallen mogul.

President Donald Trump lashed out Saturday against late night television show hosts who have been sharply critical of his administration and Republicans.

NEW YORK (AP) — HBO's ads promoting John Oliver on "Last Week Tonight" depict him cowering behind a desk, with the tag line, "Scary times call for a scared man."

NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Meryl Streep, TV host Seth Meyers, and the Golden Globe-winning movie "Moonlight" will be honored next month by the Human Rights Campaign, the LGBTQ civil rights organization.

The award for "Moonlight," a coming-of-age film about a black gay youth, will be accepted by Tarell Alvin McCraney, the author of the play on which the film is based.

NEW YORK (AP) — Protecting the Earth may not be a laughing matter, nor, for many Americans, is the outcome of the presidential race.

Even so, comedians including Seth Meyers, John Oliver and George Lopez delivered jokes Wednesday night to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council. And also to provide those in attendance at the New York event — clearly not a Donald Trump crowd — a bit of solace.
