Seth Meyers, who is "Saturday Night Live's" longest serving anchor on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update," takes over as host of NBC's "Late Night" — home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and the best in musical talent. As the Emmy Award-winning head writer for "SNL," Meyers has established a reputation for sharp wit and perfectly timed comedy, and has gained fame for his spot-on jokes and satire. Meyers takes his departure from "SNL" to his new post at "Late Night," as Jimmy Fallon moves to "The Tonight Show".

Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

Dit was het nieuws is a Dutch television program of RTL4, wherein two teams give a satirical account of the previous week's news.

The scoring is not serious; after the first round, for instance, the score is always 4-4.

Basically, LUBACH will probably be very similar to De Avondshow with Arjen Lubach. The presenter also discusses current affairs in his characteristic, humorous way in this satirical late night show. With sharp monologues, in-depth stories and playful sketches, he and his team examine politics, media and society. All this is interspersed with changing guests, music and of course a good dose of comedy.

In Taskmaster, five well-known comedians take on a series of bizarre, absurd, and unexpected tasks.

Nearly a decade ago, Xander De Rycke took to the stage armed with nothing more than a dozen pages of jokes and a slideshow filled with screenshots. What began as a small internet show grew, thanks to a loyal fanbase, into a phenomenon that managed to fill nine Lotto Arenas. Today, the show is known as the most spectacular end-of-year comedy conference in Flanders. In 2025, that success reaches its peak in the country’s largest venue: the AFAS Dome in Antwerp. Not just the 2025 edition of ‘Houdt het voor bekeken’, but a true celebration of everything that has made ten years of #HHVB what it is. Expect a barrage of sharp jokes, affectionate nods to past shows, and of course contributions from both friends and “frenemies”.
