Seth Meyers recently had his three kids - sons Ashe and Axel, and daughter Adelaide - join him on an episode of his late night show, Late Night with Seth Meyers. The unplanned interview went viral, with the kids delivering some hilarious and unfiltered responses. Meyers revealed he's glad he didn't tell the kids they'd be appearing on the show beforehand, as it prevented them from getting nervous or overthinking it. He said the best part was seeing his kids be "authentically themselves" on stage, without the audience shaking them from their natural personalities.

Why it matters

The surprise appearance of Meyers' kids on his show struck a chord with viewers, showcasing the unscripted and endearing dynamic between the comedian and his family. It highlights how spontaneous, unplanned moments can sometimes make for the most memorable television, especially when it involves celebrities sharing intimate glimpses into their personal lives.

The details

During a Q&A with his audience, Meyers explained that he literally told his kids right before they went on stage that they would be joining him for a quick interview. His oldest son, who is the shyest, initially didn't want to go out, but his other two kids were excited. Once on stage, the kids delivered some hilarious lines, like when Meyers' daughter Adelaide claimed they had taken the "subway" to the studio, which smelled "like diarrhea." Adelaide also declared that she loved one of her brothers (Ashe) but not the other (Axel).

• In November 2025, Meyers' three kids joined him on an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers for an impromptu interview.
