Seth Meyers

Seth Meyers returns for his eighth season on "Saturday Night Live," his third season as head writer, sharing the title with Andrew Steele and Paula Pell, and his third season as co-anchor of "Weekend Update," alongside Amy Poehler.

Before focusing his attention solely on "Update," Meyers was a regular player in sketches, performing numerous characters and impressions, most notably, an uncanny portrayal of Senator John Kerry for the show's satire of the 2004 Presidential election.

A graduate of Northwestern University, he studied and performed at ImprovOlympic (where many SNL cast members and writers got their start, including current cast members Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler) 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."

Most recently, Meyers appeared in Paul Weitz's "American Dreamz." In addition, Meyers has written the script for an upcoming feature "Key Party" for Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video Motion Pictures. He can currently be seen alongside Brendan Fraser in "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Meyers currently resides in New York.
