Seth Meyers Returns Again

Armchair Umbrella
About this episode

Seth Meyers (Dad Man Walking, Late Night with Seth Meyers, SNL) is an Emmy Award-winning comedian, writer, and talk show host. Seth returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss the most satisfying celebrity interaction he’s ever had, a mutual worry that he’s not sentimental enough, and his milquetoast performance on Finding Your Roots. Seth and Dax talk about knowing his good side as host versus guest, the sanctuary of a desk being no small thing, and the turning point in his life marked by his dad’s disappointment. Seth explains embracing pettiness and talking about things he’s bad at in his standup, the reoccurring prank he can’t help pulling on his incredible father-in-law, and overcoming the fear of impermanence and uncertainty by just showing up and doing the work.
