The 51-year-old comedian started his career while he was a college student at Northwestern University, where he joined the school's improv sketch group Mee-Ow Show. After graduating in 1996, he continued acting at ImprovOlympic and was even a cast member of Boom Chicago, an English-language improv troupe based in Amsterdam.
NBC announced in May 2013 that Meyers would be the new host of Late Night the next year, succeeding Jimmy Fallon, who is now the host of The Tonight Show. The comedian made his debut as a talk show host on February 24, 2014, and his first guest was Poehler. Since his premiere 11 years ago, he has hosted over 1700 episodes and has had hundreds of different guests on the show.

"What a wonderful question...The day I found out I got SNL, I got to call a hundred people, and tell them about it...Everyone knew that was the show I grew up on," he said. "The reason I want to relive that one is it was before it had dawned on me that I would be bad at it. Or, that was a possibility."
