Settling the Score: Seth Meyers


Seth Meyers always has been one of the trickiest people to profile. The internet just doesn't agree. We had him at Not a Jew because of... some quote we can no longer find.

First, we got an email from someone who claimed to have went to college with Seth and said that we are wrong and that he is definitely a Jew. Then, we got an email that says we were right the first time. Seth's father is Lawrence Meyers, Jr, mother is Hilary Olson. More importantly, Seth was previously listed on the Jewish tweens site, and his publicist wrote in, asking for removal. So...

Update: Barely a Jew. See here.

  1. Judging by the way he says "Rosh Hashanah" I'd say he isn't but then again, he may be what Harvey Fierstein calls, "Out-of-town" Jewish.

  3. He's performing at UCF the first night of Passover. Definitely not a Jewish move.

  4. Saw his standup in Vegas a few months ago where he asks the audience how many of them wondered if he was Jewish. A few applauded then he said that he wasn't but he could understand why people thought so because of "my name, my face and everything about me" which was pretty funny.

  5. I was just watching a 2011 episode of SNL and Meyers was joking about Playboy being available in Hebrew and that in that edition you looked at the model's breasts from right to left. He followed that up by saying if we understood that comment mozel tov. He is perplexing.
