Seth Meyers, who anchored “Weekend Update” from 2006 to 2014 and played the straight man opposite Stefon, revealed new details about a “Stefon” movie that never got made. “There was a moment in time where the idea of a ‘Stefon’ script was being discussed,” Meyers said in a Nov.

It wasn’t going to be me and Stefon.” Meyers continued, “I said, here’s how I think it should start: It should start with Stefon at ‘Weekend Update,’ and when it’s over, I’m once again disappointed that as the city correspondent he did not bring whatever St.
