Seth Meyers’ Kids Turn Thanksgiving ‘Late Night’ Into Viral Family Interview

The segment was a last-minute surprise taped before a studio audience after a Christmas-card shoot.

Overview

  • Meyers aired a pre-taped interview with his children — Ashe, 9, Axel, 7, and Adelaide, 4 — on the Nov. 27 Thanksgiving episode of Late Night.
  • He explained that he brought them onstage without warning at 30 Rock, where the crew miked them for an impromptu chat in front of the audience.
  • Adelaide delivered the night’s most-quoted line — “The subway smelled like diarrhea” — and labeled Ashe the “sweet” brother and Axel the “rough” one.
  • The kids rehashed a tussle from a Pittsburgh Steelers game before breaking into dance, yelling into their mics, and climbing over Meyers’ desk.
  • Clips drew a warm response on social media with calls for a return visit, and Meyers later posted Instagram photos to clarify Adelaide’s “Elphabet” remark and her cousin Agnes’ “tomato” costume, including a shot of Adelaide meeting Cynthia Erivo.
