About
Josh Dylan Meyers (pronounced MY-ərz), born January 8, 1976, is an American actor and comedian recognized for his work in sketch comedy, television, and stage. He is the younger brother of Seth Meyers, who served as a writer and cast member on Saturday Night Live before becoming the host of Late Night.
Meyers was born the younger of two sons to Hilary Claire Meyers (née Olson), a French teacher, and Laurence Meyers Jr., who worked in finance. His paternal grandfather was Ashkenazi Jewish, and his remaining ancestry includes Czech-Austrian, Croatian, Swedish, English, and German roots. He grew up in Bedford, New Hampshire, attended Manchester High School West in Manchester, New Hampshire, and later graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
His television career gained significant momentum when he joined MADtv as a featured performer in 2002, entering the cast during the show's eighth season. On the program, Meyers took on the role of the Spishak Spokesperson, a character previously associated with David Herman and Pat Kilbane, and became known for celebrity impersonations including Daniel Smith, various members of 'N Sync with a particular focus on Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and Owen Wilson. His appearances on MADtv on Fox aired directly opposite his brother Seth's appearances on Saturday Night Live on NBC, making Meyers the only MADtv cast member whose blood relative was simultaneously a cast member on Saturday Night Live. This overlap was acknowledged in a Season 28 episode of Saturday Night Live, in which Seth appeared on Weekend Update and told their father to stop watching MADtv.
Following Topher Grace's departure from That '70s Show at the close of its seventh season, Meyers was cast as Randy Pearson, a role he played throughout the eighth and final season of the series. In 2006, he appeared in the feature film Date Movie, portraying both Napoleon Dynamite and Owen Wilson's character from Wedding Crashers. He also has a supporting role in the 2008 film College Road Trip. Additionally, Meyers performs a recurring satirical impersonation of Gavin Newsom as "Gov Gav" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
In 2010, Meyers appeared alongside Pee-wee Herman in the Broadway revival of The Pee-wee Herman Show, marking his credited Broadway appearance.
