He recently recalled, “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.” Meyers joked, “That was the last pure day I’ve had before I felt like the black wolf of failure breathing down my neck.”

Meyers married human rights attorney girlfriendAlexi Ashe, now 42, in 2013 after a long courtship. “The only mistake I made with my wife is that I made her wait five years before I married her. That is too long for a woman of her caliber,” the host said in his 2019 Lobby Baby stand-up special. Meyers said Alexi is a funny person who is "handy around the house" and organizes his life. He’s proud of how she cares for the family while also juggling her current job as the Director of Anti-Trafficking Policy at Sanctuary for Families, an organization that advocates for survivors of domestic violence and gender-based crimes. Alexi “is dealing in a far darker world than me,” he noted.
