Seth Meyers comes to the Mirage March 2012

Going into his Eleventh season as head writer on the long-standing SNL comedy act 'Weekend Update', Seth has always had an excellent sense of sarcasm and biting observation in his writings and presentation of the faux-weekly news. He has had a long history of funny with the show during sketches too but seems to claim the longest running solo anchor and head writer position for the longest running segment of SNL above Chevy Chase and Dennis Miller who also sat on the throne.
