Yesterday Seth begin a full week guest hosting the show. Good timing because the summer ratings period is on. It appears that his performance and fan reception will be a "big test" for the position.

And if Seth Meyers were to get the job, sources say he would likely keep his position as the "Weekend Update" anchor on Saturday Night Live.
