But it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nkX_-8rXGH4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">his three kids<\/a> \u2014 sons Ashe, 9, and Axel, 7, and daughter Adelaide, 4\u2014\u00a0who stole the show.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-ad18da\" class=\"body-graf\">Meyers, who shares his kids with wife Alexi Ashe, explained that he brought his sons and daughter to the studio to shoot a photo for the family&#8217;s annual Christmas card. Afterward, in a surprise twist, he sat them on the couch where crew members &#8220;put mics on them&#8221; for an impromptu interview in front of his studio audience.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-bc36d7\" class=\"body-graf\">Meyers then aired the video of his chat with his kids, which kicked off with an easy question that quickly went off the rails.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7ee7f3\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;Ashe, what did you guys dress up like this year? It\u2019s always a themed photo,&#8221; Meyers asked his older son.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7c3c07\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;We were &#8216;Elf,&#8221; Ashe responded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-58197c\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;From the movie &#8216;Elf?'&#8221; his dad prompted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-fbcaaa\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;And I was alphabet,&#8221; Adelaide chimed in.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-89371e\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;You were Alphabet?&#8221; Meyers asked his daughter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-bb1c12\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;No she wasn\u2019t,&#8221; Axel interjected, adding, &#8220;I was &#8216;Elf.'&#8221; <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-885328\" class=\"body-graf\">As Adelaide continued insisting she was &#8220;Alphabet,&#8221; Ashe revealed he dressed as Mr. Narwhal from &#8220;Elf.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-4e0753\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;What was Addie really?&#8221; Meyers asked in a stage whisper to his sons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-bd5fa1\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;She was, like, my girlfriend. Remember in the movie?&#8221; Axel said, apparently referring to Josie, Buddy the Elf\u2019s girlfriend played by Zooey Deschanel in the 2003 holiday classic.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b65165\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;And Agnes was a tomato!&#8221; Adelaide shouted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-76a8bd\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;Oh OK. I gotcha. Your cousin Agnes was a tomato? That&#8217;s great,&#8221; Meyers responded with a side-eye to the audience.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-c4d078\" class=\"body-graf\">Adelaide continued putting her own hilarious spin on her dad&#8217;s question. When Meyers asked his kids how they traveled to the studio, Ashe and Axel said they arrived in a car. But not Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b41e8f\" class=\"body-graf\">The 4-year-old explained she took the subway by herself, which prompted laughter from the audience and her dad.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-361077\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;Addie, did you like the subway?&#8221; Meyers asked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-f3cba8\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;Yeah, the subway smelled like diarrhea,&#8221; his little girl replied.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-1c9f1c\" class=\"body-graf\">Next, Meyers asked his sons to re-live what caused a fight to break out between them when they attended a recent Pittsburgh Steelers game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-8a9ebe\" class=\"body-graf\">Ashe explained his little brother &#8220;smacked&#8221; him in the face with a towel. &#8220;So then I punched him here,\u201d he said aiming his fist at Axel&#8217;s cheek.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-0f6cc8\" class=\"body-graf\">Axel then leapt in front of Ashe with his fists up to show how he responded by pummeling his brother, but Meyers shut him down saying, &#8220;No! No!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-3a91ea\" class=\"body-graf\">Meyers then got Adelaide talking about her brothers&#8217; best attributes before asking if she loved them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-081b94\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;I love this one,\u201d she said, embracing Ashe. \u201cBut not that one!\u201d she added, poking Axel, who rubbed his cheeks to mime crying.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7df953\" class=\"body-graf\">After the kids talked a bit about school, &#8220;Peppa Pig&#8221; and took a couple dance breaks, Meyers thanked them for stopping by.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b20a25\" class=\"body-graf\">\u201cIs my time over?\u201d Axel yelled. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-0ef15e\" class=\"body-graf\">\u201cIt\u2019s running out, yeah,&#8221; Meyers replied.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-269ae3\" class=\"endmark body-graf\">Adelaide concluded by leading her brothers into chants of &#8220;No! No! No!&#8221; directly into their clip-on microphones before all three kids fell to the ground laughing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seth Meyers turned the Thanksgiving episode of his late-night talk show into a fun family affair.
