Seth Meyers is stepping away from his desk at NBC’s late-night talk show to offer a standup session in HBO and Max’s Stand Up for Comedy week with his new special “Dad Man Walking.” This special, his first since the pre-pandemic “Lobby Baby,” focuses on the joys and challenges of parenting his three kids with his wife. Meyers expressed his excitement for combining his love of standup with his love for talking about his family, highlighting the universal relatability of parenting anecdotes for all audiences.
Meyers discussed the differences between writing an hour-long solo performance for his standup special compared to his politically-themed nightly talk show. He noted the stress of producing political content daily for his show, but also the satisfaction of creating something with more permanence and universal appeal in his standup special. He highlighted the creative process of refining jokes and stories over the course of years to create the best version of his standup material.
“Dad Man Walking” promises to be a humorous and heartfelt exploration of parenting and family life, drawing on Meyers’ experiences with his own children. The special is set to stream on HBO on October 26, offering audiences a chance to see a different side of the comedian as he shares his unique perspective on fatherhood and the comedy it inspires.
