Watch the backstage, behind-the-scenes 'SNL' farewell to Seth Meyers from cast members as he starts his hosting job on 'Late Night' [VIDEO]

In a special "SNL Backstage" video posted to Saturday Night Live's YouTube account, some cast members and "Weekend Update" writers said farewell to Seth Meyers. As you know, Meyers is about to start his new job as host of Late Night, so he had to leave Saturday Night Live. In this farewell video, Meyers' friends share some great and touching stories about the former anchor of "Weekend Update" in order to send him off with plenty of well wishes.

Warming Glow reports:

Saturday Night Live posted a lengthy farewell to Meyers on YouTube, which basically entails mostly everyone that works on SNL saying goodbye, sharing a few stories about Meyers, and letting Seth know how much he has meant to them. It's super, incredibly sweet ... Among the highlights: Vanessa Bayer tells a sweet story about why Seth Meyers wore a particular sweatshirt to his last table read; Mike O'Brien relays a story about how Seth Meyers blew a guy on a dare (wait, what?); Beck Bryant and Kyle Mooney are really cute together; and Kenan Thompson actually sheds a tear or two.
