By Rachel Reynolds • • 1 min readSeth Meyer’s smiling face at the Emmys last night, I was reminded of how much I’ve missed seeing him on my TV every Saturday night for the last few months. I’ve been watching Saturday Night Live since I was a teenager but it’s hit a new stride in recent years thanks to his turn as anchor of Weekend Update and as head writer. (In fact, he shares a 2011 Emmy win for best original music and lyrics for the “Justin Timberlake monologue.” Worth watching)
Sethclaims you will know everything about him through the 5 songs he chose for KCRW’s Guest DJ Project.
What did I learn? 1) although he claims to be the “least funky guy out there”, he has a deep appreciation for Al Green 2) his mantra during the writer’s strike was inspired by The Hold Steady 3) he’s a “Wilco guy” 4) he finds new music on KCRW! 5) it sounds like it was REALLY fun growing up in his house.

p.s: Saturday Night Live is back this Saturday, September 24 to skewer more celebrities, scandals and politicians/political issues, as well as just being plain funny. Alec Baldwin is the host and Radiohead is the musical guest so you really can’t go wrong.
