Seth Meyers, the host of NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers," got his start in comedy at an improv theater in Amsterdam called Boom Chicago. In the early 1990s, two American comedians opened Boom Chicago, which was initially seen as a peculiar idea given the Netherlands' reputation for not being funny. However, the club went on to launch the careers of several notable American comedians, including Meyers, Jordan Peele, and Jason Sudeikis. Meyers credits his time at Boom Chicago with providing him with a "road map" to getting hired by "Saturday Night Live." The theater's unique approach to comedy, which involves improvising scenes based on audience suggestions, helped its performers develop skills that could be applied to other forms of comedy.
