Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking is a documentary that stands out heads and shoulders above the others. This stand-up comedy by Seth Meyers, the host of Late Night with Seth Myers, premiered in 2023. In this unique engagement, he addresses issues related to fatherhood. Different fathers face different challenges, and Meyers’s humor provides a refreshing start for the new and seasoned parents – there will always be chaos, surprises, and absurdity.
Meyers is not restrained to address the sleepless nights that every parent has had to go through, or the comical stresses brought on by children. In his unique colocad, he describes the wonders of parenthood as “pranks”. He captures in detail the touch-and-go moments during each child’s development as well as couple life. It is this ‘cold’ sight coupled with nostalgia that makes Meyers enjoy what he does even more.
The charm of the narration incorporated in each of the tales makes the show very engaging and entertaining. In his characteristic witty style, Seth touches on almost every genre that pulls on the heartstrings of anyone settled in a family, especially the fathers. Seth employs both playfulness and poignant reflection about rising to the occasion in building a life with a partner and being a father while juggling career and everyday responsibilities.
The special is a mixture of stand-up and personal thoughts, making it such a delight sure to stand out for audiences who enjoy Meyers’ unique sharp voice and views on contemporary life.
