HARVEY SKIT OR NOT, STILL GOOD ‘NIGHT’

“Saturday Night Live” took flak for its decision not to mock disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, but “Late Night” host Seth Meyers, who was on the NBC skit show from 2001 to 2014, defends the program’s choice.

“I know from doing that show, I guarantee they tried stuff,” Meyers (above) told us at PaleyFest NY in Midtown. “I think it’s very possible that the audience wasn’t ready to laugh at what was a really dark story.”

The New York Times had broken a huge exposé Thursday chronicling decades of alleged sexual misconduct by Weinstein. “I think given time, it’s going to be hard not to believe that they’re not going to address it,” Meyers said. He thinks that Weinstein’s fall from grace, along with pervs like Bill Cosby and Roger Ailes getting their comeuppance, is reason to smile. “When you see people like that topple, it’s hard not to be a little bit hopeful for change,” he said.
