Tonight, Seth Meyers will take his Turn as host of NBC's "Late Night." The SNL alum spoke with Today's Savanah Guthrie about his hopes and expectations for his new venture. Check out the interview below

"I think I'll go into white-hot panic", joked Meyers. "We'll probably have security guards behind me to make sure I can't make tracks quickly out the other direction."

Asked about what his style will be as host, he replies, "I don't know. I mean, I think that's one of those things that you don't quite overthink - your own persona. Like, you just make the decisions you would make based on your own taste, and that probably leads to the kind of show it'll be."

"Late Night With Seth Meyers" kicks off tonight, Monday February 24th at 12:35 a.m., with guests Amy Poehler, Vice President Joe Biden and musical guest A Great Big World.
