Meyers said a year ago that he wanted his former “Weekend Update” co-anchor Amy Poehler as his inaugural guest, and it worked out. Meyers’s first string of guests are a pretty eclectic bunch, with actors, politicians, musicians, talk show hosts, and a standup, SNL writer Michael Che, in the mix. Meyers made a big announcement earlier this week that SNL alum Fred Armisen will serve as his bandleader.
