Seth Meyers Head Writer & Weekend Update Anchor "Saturday Night Live

Seth is presenting the Matrix Award to Tina Fey.

Seth Meyers returns for his ninth season on "Saturday Night Live," his fourth season as head writer, and his fourth season as anchor of "Weekend Update." Seth is thrilled to present Tina Fey with her Matrix Award because she has always been the Oprah to his Gayle. The two met while working together on "Saturday Night Live." Before focusing his attention solely on "Update," Meyers was a regular player in sketches, performing numerous characters and impressions, most notably, an uncanny portrayal of Senator John Kerry for the show's satire of the 2004 Presidential election. A graduate of Northwestern University, he studied and performed at ImprovOlympic (where many "SNL" cast members and writers got their start, including past cast members Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler) before moving on to the Boom Chicago Theater in Amsterdam, Holland. His acclaimed show "Pick-ups and Hiccups" with partner Jill Benjamin toured Europe and eventually caught the eye of "SNL." Most recently, Meyers is one of the Executive Producers on the "SNL" sketch turned feature film "MacGruber" due out May 21.
