About Seth Meyers
Seth Meyers, born Seth Adam Meyers (born December 28, 1973), is an American comedian, television host, writer, actor, and producer. He has hosted Late Night with Seth Meyers, a late-night talk show on NBC, since 2014. Prior to hosting Late Night, he was a cast member on NBC's sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 2001 to 2014, where he served as the show's head writer and an anchor of the news parody segment Weekend Update from 2006 until his departure.
Meyers was born in Evanston, Illinois, the son of Hilary Claire, a French teacher, and Laurence Meyers Jr., who worked in finance. His younger brother, Josh Meyers, is also an actor and comedian. Meyers graduated in 1996 from Northwestern University in Evanston, where he majored in film and television production. While a student there, he began performing improv comedy as a member of the university's improv sketch group the Mee-Ow Show, and later performed overseas as a cast member of Boom Chicago, an English-language improv troupe based in Amsterdam, where SNL talent scouts noticed him.
Meyers joined the Saturday Night Live cast in 2001, was promoted to writing supervisor in 2005, and became a co-head writer in January 2006, sharing the role with Tina Fey and Harper Steele. He became head writer for the 2006-2007 season and assumed the role of Weekend Update co-anchor with Amy Poehler, later anchoring solo from 2008 to 2013. On SNL he impersonated figures such as John Kerry, Anderson Cooper, Prince Charles and Tom Cruise, and his recurring characters included DJ Johnathan Feinstein on the webcam show "Jarett's Room."
