Seth Adam Meyers (born December 28, 1973) is an American comedian, political commentator, and television host. He hosts Late Night with Seth Meyers, a late-night talk show that airs on NBC. Prior to that, he was a head writer for NBC's Saturday Night Live (2001–2014) and hosted the show's news parody segment, Weekend Update.
Meyers appeared in the film Journey to the Center of the Earth in 2008, hosted the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2014 and voiced the character Jeremy "Prock" Awesome in The Awesomes (2013–2015). In 2018, Meyers hosted the 75th Golden Globe Awards.
Meyers was born in Evanston, Illinois, and was raised in Okemos, Michigan, from four to ten years of age, and Bedford, New Hampshire, after that.
Meyers's mother, Hilary Claire (née Olson), was a French teacher, and his father, Laurence Meyers Jr., worked in finance. His younger brother is actor Josh Meyers.
His paternal grandfather was Jewish. Although Meyers has performed at several Jewish Community Centers, he does not consider himself Jewish. Meyers's other ancestry is Czech–Austrian and Croatian (from his paternal grandmother), Swedish, English, and German.
Meyers' mother Hilary and Carolyn Stanton — the maternal grandmother of comedian John Mulaney, Meyers' future Saturday Night Live coworker — both hail from Marblehead, Massachusetts, and once performed together in a hospital benefit show called Pills A Poppin' directed by future Tony Award-winner Tommy Tune, then 19.
