Seth Meyers Admits He Was “More Temperamental” On ‘SNL’: “Things Ran Very Hot”


Following his 2001-'14 run on 'Saturday Night Live', Seth Meyers revealed some of the most valuable advice her learned on the NBC sketch comedy show.

Amid the NBC sketch comedy show’s landmark 50th season, the Late Night host reflected on some of the “shamefully petty” exchanges he had with fellow staffers during his 2001-’14 run on SNL. Meyers credited friend and producer Mike Shoemaker, who’s worked with him on both SNL and Late Night, for giving him some valuable advice when his instinct was to be confrontational. “And so I’m very happy I lived by the adage of, ‘It’s a long life.’ Because if it’s somebody you think might be your friend in the future, there’s no reason to burn it down in the present,” said Meyers, who was head writer on SNL from 2006 until his departure.
