Seth Meyers | Head Writer/Repertory Player

Seth Meyers is in his 12th season as a cast member, eighth season as head writer and seventh season as Weekend Update anchor. In 2011, Meyers won the Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for host Justin Timberlake's musical monologue. He was nominated in the same category in 2012 for host Jason Segel's monologue song. Meyers has also garnered five additional Emmy nominations for his work as a writer on "SNL" and the 2011 special "The Real Women of SNL."

As the sole Weekend Update anchor, Meyers charms audiences as he lampoons top news stories and entertains fan favorite guests including the outlandish and uber trendy correspondent Stefon as well as "Drunk Uncle." Before focusing his attention solely on Weekend Update, Meyers was a regular player in sketches, performing numerous characters.

A graduate of Northwestern University, he studied and performed at ImprovOlympic (where many "SNL" cast members and writers got their start) before moving on to the Boom Chicago Theater in Amsterdam, Holland. His acclaimed show "Pick-ups and Hiccups" with partner Jill Benjamin toured Europe and eventually caught the eye of "SNL."

In 2014, Meyers will take over NBC's "Late Night" legacy as host of "Late Night with Seth Meyers." Meyers also executive produces and lends his voice to Hulu's 10-episode animated superhero show "The Awesomes," premiering Summer 2013. Meyers hosted the 2010 and 2011 ESPY Awards on ESPN and headlined the 2011 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner to rave reviews.

Meyers currently resides in New York City. His birthday is December 28th.
