"Leno and Eubanks. Fallon and the Roots. Letterman and Shaffer. And now&amp;amp;#8212;surprise!&amp;amp;#8212;Meyers and Armisen. Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers&amp;#x27; former SNL castmate and star of IFC&amp;#x27;s Portlandia, will be the bandleader on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the host revealed yesterday via Twitter. (Also, it looks like Armisen will write the show&amp;#x27;s theme song. Will write? We&amp;#x27;re like 15 days out! Talk about thriving on deadlines.) Here&amp;amp;#39;s the first photo of the new @LateNightSeth band! #8GBand pic.twitter.com/jR07bDIZXQ&amp;amp;mdash; Seth Meyers (@sethmeyers) February 10, 2014 I would&amp;#x27;ve never seen this coming&amp;amp;#8212;Armisen, a pretty major actor in his own right, taking on a steady day job like this. But let&amp;#x27;s not forget: The Roots as a house band was once unthinkable too. And Armisen tagging color commentary onto Meyers&amp;#x27; jokes feels like a perfect balance. They&amp;#x27;re the cutest, wittiest guys at two totally different parties. What I&amp;#x27;m most excited about, though, is the sketch potential Armisen&amp;#x27;s addition indicates. We don&amp;#x27;t know too much about the format of Meyers&amp;#x27; show yet; the role zany, scripted bits will play remains to be seen. It would almost be wasteful to have Armisen around and not use his flair for characters&amp;amp;#8212;so I&amp;#x27;m taking this as a sign there&amp;#x27;s more Late Night viral fun on the way. Also, the band&amp;#x27;s drummer is a girl who&amp;#x27;s played with Beyonce, so clearly this is a real cool-kid&amp;#x27;s crowd. Looks like Seth&amp;#x27;s party and Fred&amp;#x27;s party are finally merging. Hooray!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
