Seth Meyers Laughs At His Own Income (Video)

Nobody’s comfortable being asked how much money they make. Particularly those who make quite a bit of it. It’s also awkward for those who don’t make nearly as much.

The TV Special ‘Martha Stewart Presents: Men Who Make Us Laugh‘ sought to find out which camp ‘SNL’ head writer and news anchor Seth Meyers is in.

Meyers started off by telling Stewart that she wouldn’t believe how much he makes. “It’s not a contest, but we are way closer than you think,” he told her.

“Your stable’s slightly bigger, I guess,” he said.

But he couldn’t keep up the ruse and started laughing as they delved deeper into his situation. Eventually, they were both laughing, and the interview nearly fell apart.

“I’m not like Barbara Walters,” she said as he tried to compose himself. “I didn’t want you to cry. You have tears in your eyes.”

“I just,” he said before pausing contemplatively. “I didn’t realize how little I was getting paid.”

It was a genuinely warm moment that we were glad to see Stewart left in the interview. Meyers is usually busy making us laugh, so it was refreshing to see him lose it.

Do you want to know what’s really funny? It’s probably still 10 times more than you make.
