He has hostedLate Night with Seth Meyers, alate-night talk show onNBC since 2014. Prior to hostingLate Night, he was a cast member on NBC'ssketch comedy seriesSaturday Night Live (SNL) from 2001 to 2014. He served asSNL's head writer, as well as an anchor of the news parody segmentWeekend Update, from 2006 until his departure from the show.
Meyers was born on December 28, 1973, inEvanston, Illinois.[1][2] When he was four, his family moved toOkemos, Michigan, where he lived until he was ten. After that, he grew up inBedford, New Hampshire. Seth's mother, Hilary Claire (née Olson), was aFrench teacher and his father, Laurence (Larry) Meyers Jr., worked in finance. At one point, his mother and fellowSaturday Night Live co-starJohn Mulaney's grandmother Carolyn Stanton performed together in a hospital benefit show inMarblehead, Massachusetts, called Pills A-Poppin' directed by Tony Award-winning choreographerTommy Tune.[3][4] Seth's younger brother,Josh Meyers, is an actor and comedian.
Meyers's paternal grandfather was anAshkenazi Jewish immigrant fromKalvarija nearMarijampolė in modern-dayLithuania.[5][6][7][8] The rest of Seth's ancestry isCzech,Austrian,Croatian (from his paternal grandmother),Swedish (from his maternal grandfather),English, andGerman.[9] Seth discovered on the showFinding Your Roots that his family's original surname, Trakianski, was changed by his great-grandfather to Meyers, after his own father Mejer Trakianski.[7]
Seth Meyers attended Edgewood Elementary School in Okemos.[10] He graduated fromManchester High School West inManchester, New Hampshire. He graduated in 1996 fromNorthwestern University in Evanston, where he was in thePhi Gamma Delta fraternity. His college roommate was fellow actorPeter Grosz.[11] Meyers majored infilm and television production. In 2011, he was the grand marshal for the school's homecoming parade.[12] In 2016, he delivered thecommencement address at Northwestern's graduation.[13]
While a student at Northwestern University, Meyers began performingimprov comedy as a member of the university's improv sketch group theMee-Ow Show. He continued his career atImprovOlympic with the group Preponderate as well as overseas as a cast member ofBoom Chicago, an English language improv troupe based inAmsterdam,[14] where his brother was also a cast member. Seth references living in Amsterdam duringLate Night with Seth Meyers.[15] When a Boom Chicago show he developed was mounted in Chicago,Saturday Night Live talent scouts noticed him and invited him to audition forSNL.
Meyers joined theSaturday Night Live cast in2001.[15] In 2005, he was promoted to writing supervisor and, in January 2006, became a co-head writer, sharing the role withTina Fey andHarper Steele.[16] In 2004, Meyers auditioned to co-anchorWeekend Update with Fey, butAmy Poehler was selected.[17] With Fey's departure, Meyers became head writer for the 2006–2007 season and assumed the role ofWeekend Update co-anchor withAmy Poehler, although his cast contract was up around this time. He was asked to sign a contract agreeing to be just the head writer if he didn't get Weekend Update, but he declined to sign the contract, and waited to see what the plans forUpdate were. He considered leaving SNL altogether if he wasn't added toUpdate.[18][19][20] After Poehler's departure, he was a solo anchor from 2008 to 2013. In fall 2009, Meyers co-anchored two episodes ofSaturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday with Poehler.[21] In the2013–2014 season,Cecily Strong joined Meyers as co-anchor until his mid-season departure.
OnSNL, Meyersimpersonated such figures asJohn Kerry,Michael Caine,Anderson Cooper,Carrot Top,Prince Charles,David Beckham,Ryan Seacrest,Sean Penn,Stone Phillips,Tobey Maguire,Peyton Manning,Ben Curtis (also known as the Dell Dude),Ty Pennington,Bill Cowher,Brian Williams,Nicollette Sheridan,Wade Robson,Donald Trump Jr.,Tom Cruise, andKevin Federline.[15] His recurring characters included Zach Ricky, host of the kids' hidden camera show "Pranksters"; Nerod, the receptionist in the recurring sketch "Appalachian Emergency Room"; David Zinger, a scientist who often insults his fellow workers; DJ Johnathan Feinstein, the DJ on the webcam show "Jarett's Room"; Dan Needler, half of a married couple "that should be divorced," (opposite Amy Poehler); William Fitzpatrick, from the Irish talk show "Top o' the Morning," and Boston Powers (one of the comedians in the "Original Kings of Catchphrase Comedy" series). In the season 29 episode hosted byLindsay Lohan, he portrayedRon Weasley in a parody ofHarry Potter.
Meyers received critical praise for his part in several iconicSNL sketches during his tenure. During the2008 United States presidential election, he wrote the sketches for formerSNL cast member Tina Fey, who returned as a guest star to impersonateRepublican vice presidential candidateSarah Palin. He created the famed if inaccurate phrase uttered by Fey's Palin, "I can see Russia from my house."[22][23][24] While they were hosts onWeekend Update, Meyers and Poehler had a popular recurring bit, "Really!?! with Seth and Amy." Both hosts would take turns mocking people in the news, ending each point with a heavily sarcastic "Really!?!", whichRolling Stone writer Jon Blistein characterized as a "torrent of exasperation and bewilderment." Following Poehler's departure from the show in 2008, they revived the "Really!?!" segment several times when she returned as a guest.[25][26] After Meyers left the show for his own talk show, Poehler made a surprise appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyers in June 2015 to join Meyers in mockingSports Illustrated sportswriterAndy Benoit, after he disparaged women's sports as "not worth watching."[23][27][28]
Additionally, the "Abe Lincoln" sketch Meyers wrote forLouis C.K., done in the style of his sitcom,Louie, and theGirls parody, starring Tina Fey as the new Albanian "girl", were praised by critics as among the best sketches Meyers contributed toSNL.[23][24] Meyers supported and picketed during the2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike. When interviewed, he said, "We all know how lucky we are to have the jobs we have. We're not asking for much. You have to change the rules because people are watching TV in a different way."[29] Even so, he mentioned in interviews that he regretted missing much of thepresidential election primary season.[30][31]
Meyers performed in his final episode ofSNL on February 1, 2014.[23] Strong, Poehler,Bill Hader (in character asStefon),Andy Samberg, andFred Armisen (as former New York state governorDavid Paterson) joined him at the Weekend Update desk. Meyers returned to host the show in 2018 andPaul Simon was the musical guest.[32]

NBC announced on May 12, 2013, that Meyers would be the new host ofLate Night in 2014, succeedingJimmy Fallon, as Fallon became host ofThe Tonight Show. Meyers assumed his role onLate Night on February 24, 2014, and his first guest was formerSNL castmate and Weekend Update anchor Amy Poehler.[33] Meyers announced February 10, 2014, that the bandleader for hishouse band "The 8G Band" would be his former SNL colleagueFred Armisen.[34] More recently, he and his Sethmaker Shoemeyers Productions company signed an overall deal with NBCUniversal.[35]
Meyers won the third season ofBravo'sCelebrity Poker Showdown in 2004, and donated the $100,000 prize to the Boston-basedJimmy Fund.[36][37] Meyers andSNL castmate Bill Hader penned aSpider-Man one-off entitledThe Short Halloween. It was illustrated byKevin Maguire and was published May 29, 2009. Benjamin Birdie ofComic Book Resources gave the work three and a half stars on a scale of five.[38] Meyers, along with Mike Shoemaker ofSNL, created an animated half-hour series titledThe Awesomes, produced byLorne Michaels's company,Broadway Video, that aired on Hulu beginning August 2013.[39]
Seth and his brotherJosh host a podcast calledFamily Trips with the Meyers Brothers; the first episode was released on June 27, 2023.[40][41] From August 30 to October 10, Meyers hosted the comedy podcastStrike Force Five withJimmy Fallon,Jimmy Kimmel,Stephen Colbert, andJohn Oliver to support their staff members out of work due to the2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[42] He also hostsThe Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast withThe Lonely Island (Andy Samberg,Akiva Schaffer, andJorma Taccone) which discusses the comedy group'sSNL Digital Shorts.[43]
Meyers hosted theWebby Awards twice, in 2008 and 2009. In 2009, he hosted the Microsoft Company Meeting atSafeco Field inSeattle.[44] He hosted the 2010 and 2011ESPY Awards onESPN.[45] In April 2011, he was thekeynote speaker at theWhite House Correspondents' Association Dinner. During his introductory remarks, he made a joke aboutOsama bin Laden's actions while in hiding; namely, that bin Laden was hosting his own afternoon television show onC-SPAN.[46] Meyers was unaware at the time that US intelligence had indeed actually located bin Laden and theNavy SEALs planned anattack on his location for the very next day. In the same speech, he mockedDonald Trump (who was in attendance) for his attempts in finding then US PresidentBarack Obama's birth certificate. He also mocked Trump's intention of running for president, which many later jokingly said was the reason for Trump's later candidacy in the2016 U.S. presidential election. In 2014, Meyers hosted the66th Primetime Emmy Awards.[47] In 2018, he hosted the75th Golden Globe Awards.[48][49]

Meyers and his girlfriend of five years, attorney Alexi Ashe, were engaged in July 2013.[58][59] They married in aJewish wedding on September 1, 2013, onMartha's Vineyard.[60][61] Their first son, Ashe Olson Meyers (named after his wife and his mother's maiden names, respectively),[62] was born atLenox Hill Hospital, inManhattan, New York City, on March 27, 2016.[63] On April 8, 2018, the couple's second son, Axel Strahl Meyers, was delivered, unplanned, in the lobby of their apartment building.[64] On November 24, 2021, Meyers announced the bathtub home birth[65] of his daughter, Adelaide Ruth Meyers, duringLate Night'sCorrections segment.[66] The family had an Italian Greyhound named Frisbee. Frisbee died in August 2025 at the age of 14.[67]
While interviewingJake Tapper on the December 4, 2018, episode ofLate Night, Meyers said that while he does not consider himself Jewish (despite his Ashkenazi Jewish heritage on his paternal side), his wife is Jewish, and their children are being raised in that faith.[68][69] Axel's middle name is the surname of Alexi'sHolocaust-survivor grandparents.[70][71][72] Beginning in July 2013, Alexi worked as an assistant district attorney inBrooklyn, assigned to the Sex Crimes Bureau.[73] Since then, she joinedSanctuary for Families as an advocate for victims of gender violence.[74][75]
During an interview onThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Meyers said that he did not believe in an afterlife.[76]
Meyers's children, dressed as "murder hornets," made a quick appearance during one COVID-19 episode ofA Closer Look, filmed in the attic of the family's country home.[77] He is a fan of U.S. sports teams including theBoston Red Sox,Boston Celtics,Pittsburgh Steelers,Pittsburgh Pirates,Pittsburgh Penguins (his father being a Pittsburgh native),Northwestern Wildcats (Seth's alma mater), and two European soccer teams, theNetherlands national football team and thePremier League clubWest Ham United.[78][79]
