There were two interview rounds in total. The initial round was a face-to-face interview with a relatively large group of shortlisted candidates, around 15 people. We did a presentation. In the second round, the interview was online. Overall I feel that it's highly competitive since they were only looking to hire one intern for each position and that their intake is a lot smaller compared to other companies.

Question 1
Presentation in first round. And standard interview questions in second round
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
Interviewed for the Seth Myers late night show. First had a one way video. They allowed a few redos when filming submissions. Then I revived a email to do a video meeting with the intern coordinator.
1) submit your application
2) either get rejected or move on in the recruiting process to complete hirevue
3) if selected to, second round virtual interview with the team
4) may get selected for a follow-up interview (not always the case)
Fairly straightforward questions, make sure to do research on the company beforehand and be prepared. There were 4 questions asking about your experience, why you want to work for NBC, and what you're looking forward to doing if selected to work for them.
