Seth Meyers' son was born in apartment lobby

Popular TV host Seth Meyers has shared the story of how his new son, Axel Strahl, was born in the lobby of their New York apartment building.

The 44-year-old host revealed on talk show "Late Night with Seth Meyers" that the birth progressed so quickly that him and his wife Alexi Ashe did not had time to board the Uber standing by to take them to the hospital.

"My wife is saying the baby is coming, the baby is out. And I looked at my wife and the only way I can describe how my wife looked was she looked like someone who was hiding a baby in a pair of sweatpants," he said.

"It was like somebody was trying to sneak a baby on a plane," he joked.

Meyers thanked the Fire Department and New York Police Department, who arrived at the lobby just after the baby was born and helped cut the cord. He also thanked his neighbors for warming towels in their dryers to then wrap the baby with.

Meyers and Ashe are already parents to 2-year-old
