'Late Night with Seth Meyers' is now a podcast kind of

Hey late night fans (and Late Night fans), one of the talk shows is turning into a podcast! NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers can now be enjoyed in bite-sized podcast form. As found by Splitsider, the podcast takes segments like "A Closer Look" -- where the host dedicates an extended period of time to a topic -- and "Jokes Seth Can't Tell" -- where Amber Ruffin and Jenny Hagel say things Seth can't -- and turns them into audio form! New "episodes" will be posted Tuesday through Friday. Podcasts are becoming bigger as the medium explodes with new shows every week. We even dedicated an episode of News Time to it! Check out the iTunes listing here and Android users can head to the podcasting app of their choice.

TBS wants Samantha Bee for at least a year and Michelle Wolf is your next Daily Show contributor

Today turned out to be a great day for women in late night as two of the funniest in the business managed to use their comedy chops to high profile jobs. First, it was announced that Samantha Bee's late night series, Full Frontal, was renewed through 2016. A TBS press release stated that the series would have 26 more episodes on top of the thirteen it is already producing. If that doesn't sound so cool, look at John Oliver's Last Week Tonight today which was in a similar situation with HBO last year.

On top of that, Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Michelle Wolf is headed to The Daily Show. Joining Jessica Williams, Jordan Klepper, and a bunch of other funny people, Williams is set to be both a writer and on air contributor. Late night was once a barren wasteland to the female gender but this is a nice leap by today's standards. Let those lady ball hang low, girls!

Bill Hader, Seth Meyers discuss IFC's 'Documentary Now!' and its double season renewal on 'Late Night'

Documentary Now! hasn't even aired yet and IFC has awarded the mockumentary series with a double season renewal. Last night on Late Night, Now! creator Bill Hader mentioned it during his interview with Seth Meyers. That means not only is the show coming back for a second season but it also has a third season to deal with. On top of that, the comedian dropped some big names of the show's guest stars including John Slattery, Paula Pell, Kack Black, and Helen Mirren. Documentary Now! premieres August 20 on IFC but you can watch their VICE parody DRONEZ right now.

Michael Che and Seth Meyers Talk About "12 Days Not A Slave"

Ex-SNL writer, ex-Daily Show correspondent, and current SNL Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che appeared on Late Night to talk about his new gig. Meyers and Che also talked about his summer job at the Daily Show. And who can forget the gem that is the sketch "12 Days Not A Slave," something that the two men penned on SNL.
