Early life, family and education
Early life, family and education
Meyers was born on January 8, 1976, the younger of two sons of Hilary Claire Meyers (née Olson), a French teacher, and Laurence Meyers Jr., who worked in finance. Meyers's paternal grandfather was Ashkenazi Jewish, and his other ancestry is Czech–Austrian, Croatian (from his paternal grandmother), Swedish, English, and German. Meyers grew up primarily in Bedford, New Hampshire, and attended Manchester High School West in Manchester, New Hampshire. He graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
MADtv
MADtv
Meyers officially joined the cast of MADtv in 2002, as a featured performer for the eighth season. He would fill in the spot of the Spishak Spokesperson that David Herman and Pat Kilbane previously owned. Meyers was also known for his celebrity impersonations, including Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel, various members of 'N Sync (particularly Justin Timberlake), rapper Eminem, and actor Owen Wilson. Meyers's appearances on MADtv on Fox aired directly opposite his brother Seth's appearances on Saturday Night Live on NBC, making Josh Meyers the only MADtv cast member to have a family member (blood-related or otherwise) be a cast member on Saturday Night Live. This was referenced on a season 28 episode of Saturday Night Live in which Seth appears on Weekend Update to talk to his father and tells him to turn off MADtv and pay attention to him.

Meyers also does a recurring satirical impersonation of Gavin Newsom as "Gov Gav" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
