Easter Sunday started off normal enough for Seth Meyers and his very pregnant wife. Then, Alexi started having back pains two weeks before she was due to have their first child. When the pain didn’t stop, he called the doctors who told them to go to the hospital. Taking their advice, they packed, called Uber and went on their way.
Tariq the Uber driver drove them as Alexi screamed at the top of her lungs all the way to Lenox Hill Hosptal. Tariq kept him calm throughout it all and got them their safely.
When doctors checked Alexi, they realized she was fully dilated. It was time for her to have the baby. Since it was Easter, several of the nurses and doctors were wearing bunny ears. Meyers thought it was cute and his wife couldn’t give a dang. She was preoccupied with giving birth to that child.
Eventually, Ashe Olsen made his debut into the world and they couldn’t be happier. But the NBC Late Night host wasn’t ready to be a dad. When he was filling out the baby’s paperwork and they asked for the father, he didn’t realize that they were talking about him.
Now he knows he is a father; and by the smile on his face, you can tell love he has been loving the last few days of his life most of all.
With this very sweet and touching tale, Meyers solidified his place in late night television. If you are not watching, then you are missing out on someone that has grown to be one of the best hosts of late night. And he’s only been doing it for less than two years!
