Seth Meyers, known for his witty political jokes on "Late Night with Seth Meyers, " has shifted gears. His latest HBO Max standup special, "Dad Man Walking, " focuses on his family life. After spending so much time with his family during the pandemic, he found plenty of material in his everyday experiences. Unlike his nightly show, which centrally revolves around politics and current events, this special dives into the universal experiences of family life. Meyers finds joy in realizing that he's not alone in his feelings and struggles.

The special was filmed live at Chicago's Vic Theatre. Meyers had the audience in stitches with stories like not knowing how to fold a stroller and the risks of playing board games with his kids, who are aged 8, 6, and 3. His kids are cool with being part of his act for now, but he knows that might change as they grow older. One hilarious bit involves his wife Alexi trying to get through airport security with a tub of hummus.

Despite his sharp political wit, Meyers ensures his family humor is balanced and not just complaints about his wife. He enjoys when both husbands and wives see themselves in his jokes. Meyers also reflected on the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live, " remembering the talented cast of his era. He sees the show's unevenness as a strength, much like live sports.
