My kid for some reason cannot say grandma. She can say grandpa but not grandma. So what does she end up calling my mom? Against every single attempt from my mom otherwise, my sassy little girl calls her “dumas” “dah mahs” or sometimes “doooo mahs”

[@Dareokin]

After seeing seth and Josh's parents it's easy to see where they get their charismatic personalities

[@judithrandall4690]

The Meyers family should be a standard for all parents. And that only comes when both parents are equally involved in the everyday raising of their children, with love and humor and discipline. And Seth Meyers has obviously continued his parents' tradition. Bravo!

[@hv3115]

And how do you know for sure how they were raised? Maybe they were raised with the parents having traditional gender roles..

I genuinely love the Meyers family. They seem so cool. And Sisko is an AMAZING nickname for Granddad !

[@mesocylon]

That’s okay Seth, I’m 32 and sleep with a night light. (For the night is dark, and full of terrors.)

[@no3namesalike]

So when I was a kid, I wasn't exactly afraid of the dark. I was afraid of the creatures lurking around at night, regardless of light or darkness and my strategy was to have no light at all, hopefully to make it more difficult for the creatures to find me. I'm 27 and I still turn off and/or cover up any sources of light in a room I'm sleeping in!

Seth.... your mother can't be a 'Mormor', because that means the mothers mother. She is a 'Farmor'. She's the fathers mother.

mizzfit02 Thanks, I came here to write this.

[@toulousedelapoubelle5426]

Exactly. In Scandinavia we don't have to invent new names for each grandparent. father's mother=farmor, father's father=farfar mother's mother=mormor mother's father=morfar. No confusions.

Just once... please start an episode by sending your brother out on stage pretending to be you.

Late Night with Seth Meyers has the best cast of characters in all late night. From Amber and Jenny to Seth’s family and even the funny blonde later behind him at “press briefings”

[@kinsmed]

How are the Meyers as guests more engaging than a starlet?

[@canogaparque818]

Good chemistry

[@WAKINUPwithDee]

Canoga Parque 818 you’re right, and I think many people find families relatable. This family tells stories that show why Seth Meyers is the person he is today, and they are down-to-earth people who seem like they’d be fun to be around. Celebrities can be annoying interviewees because their stories can seem so canned and inauthentic, but the stories this family tells are naturally entertaining, interesting, and relatable.

[@arm5510]

Seth your parents haven't aged at all in the last several years videos!! Such a great family ❤️ happy thanksgiving!

[@Canuckmom128]

Delightful ! The whole, darn family thing is such a sweet tradition and the film of the boys with the dog as Turkeys and Pilgrim is just Cuteness Overload. I'm from a big family, and we all get along reasonably well, so I know what a blessing it can be. You're a lucky man, Seth.

[@lexxusrxnymo]

Seth’s kids are adorable!

[@andreasnielsen4437]

"Mormor" literally translates to "Mother's mother". "Farmor" is the word you want :D

[@adrianpedersen7489]

I came looking for this! His wife's mother would be "Mormor" (mother's mother) and she (Seth's mom) would be "Farmor" (father's mother) if they wanted to be Swedish/Norwegian/Danish(?) about it. Also, for anyone interested- Seth's father would be Farfar (father's father) and his FiL would be Morfar (mother's father) if they used the whole system.

[@AJsMOM4782]

They need their own show.... his parents and brother are so funny! I can’t deal 😂

[@jennifermullan4865]

OMG! Seth’s kids are so freaking adorable!

[@jamesmarie]

The Meyers' are the happiest family.

[@malinmedin4069]

She'd need a daughter to be a "mormor" as it means mother's mother. Being the mother of the father of the grandkids makes her a "farmor"

[@stanimirivanov6172]

It's always a blast when Seth's family is on the show! They look like very nice, lovely people. And they seem to share Seth's humor, too! Or maybe he got his from them?

Make it Late Night with the Meyers. Have never seen any family this close.

[@canogaparque818]

Seth must love his job Not everyone can do something like this Wonderful family bonding

[@incogneato1227]

The Meyers family's lingo is just like mine 😂

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

I’m from a small and close family. People usually seem weirded out that at 30, my brother and I live close to our parents and visit often. We LIKE holidays and hanging out. I used to have a specific day my mother would visit and stay all day and night and we’d hang out. We never run out of stuff to talk about; I’m like her younger clone. We’re both chronically ill and moving has led to having few friends. Being ill and not able to get out much has meant we all rely on each other more. I get that I’m really friggin lucky and a lot of people have been hurt (in many different ways) by their parents and or general family. But there’s a tendency for people to act like it’s so WEIRD, somewhere between some vague incest and basement-dwelling losers, or some controlling fundamentalist situation. And I also get scorning the idea if that’s not been your life, thinking it’s not as good as friends being chosen family, or that it’s just not cool or dorky. So it’s really nice to see examples in media of families that at least seem to really enjoy being around each other. Other than my family, I don’t have any current contacts that have known me for a significant period of time to have a deep bind of trust and a lot of memories to enjoy. It’s cool to see people enjoy those bonds, whether they’re will really old friends or not, but especially when it’s family it makes me feel better. It’s not a weird aberration fluke to be close and it’s kind of comforting to see examples of that.

[@tennisdude52278]

Amara Jordan I’m sorry to hear about your illness and I hope your health improves. My family is very close and we love spending time together.

[@sheisapearla]

Watching this family together makes it plainly apparent how Seth came to be a very funny, relaxed and composed man. You are lucky to have family that cares about each other, enjoys each other’s company and isn’t fractured by any differences, competitiveness or resentment. Life’s true riches ♥️

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

tennisdude52278 Thank you so much. That’s really kind. When my mother’s health improves, we’re planning on moving, and we’ll go to a state that has better specialists for people with my condition, who actually know what to do to improve my quality of life and not just keep me alive but holed up in an apartment roughly 6.5 days out of a week. Until then, my family’s going to help me get through it, just like they always have! 😊 I’m really glad you have a family that’s close; I know so many people don’t have it, and I can’t really imagine what it’s like. I hope you make many more good memories with them. Thanks for your kindness today. 🌷

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

Sascha Rouillon I honestly really am. The more I found out about other families growing up, the more I realized how unusual it is to be in my situation. I think if my mother and I weren’t sick, we’d probably have all branched off. But we all circled the wagons to help each other get through things, and ANY time one of us needs something, we know that bond will see us through and we’ll have support. My brother’s catch phrase would probably be, “What can i do to help?” When I’m down about being sick and kind of... stuck with my illness until one day it kills me, I take a good hard look at my support system. It’s extremely small, yes, but solid through and through. That more than evens things out, luckwise, I think. Thanks for reading my comment and feeling like replying. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with whoever is special to you, or doing something that fulfills you. 🌷

[@ErykaSoleil]

Amara Jordan : Having multiple autoimmune diseases that require medication for the rest of my life (or until science can replace my immune system with nanobots and regrow damaged organs), I can empathize with your health difficulties. I've also always been the weirdo whose family actually stuck together when things got hard, and who still speak civilly to each other (usually-no family's perfect). They definitely have their flaws, but overall I know I'm very lucky.
