Seth Meyers‘ baby boy made a dramatic entrance into the world in the lobby of the comedian and his wife’s apartment building on Sunday. 
 
 The Late Night with Seth Meyers host, 44, welcomed his second child, son Axel Strahl, with Alexi Ashe on April 8, and regaled the audience with the incredible story of his birth just a day later. 
 
 Meyers, who also has a 2-year-old son named Ashe Olson, told his audience Monday that his newborn son Axel couldn’t wait for his parents to arrive at the hospital to make his debut. 
 
 The host thanked the New York Police Department — who arrived just after the baby did and helped cut the cord — and his neighbors, who put towels in the dryer to keep Axel warm until more help arrived. 
 
 “I called 911 and over the course of a minute conversation, I said, ‘We’re about to have a baby — we’re having a baby — we had a baby,’ ” Meyers said.

 The proud new dad began to cry as he spoke about his wife but attempted to play the tears off by joking, “I’m getting choked up thinking about how brave I was.” 
 
 Meyers explained that his son‘s middle name honors Alexi’s grandparents, who met in a hospital in Austria the day after they were liberated from a concentration camp. 
 
 He also showed off a photo of the birth on the show, which depicted his wife lying on the ground holding their son to her chest as emergency personnel held an oxygen mask to her mouth. Meyers knelt beside her, grinning away at the camera.

 Late Night with Seth Meyers 
 
 http://www.youtube.com/user/latenight...
– Seth Meyers is a father for the second time, and new son Axel Strahl made his arrival on April 8 in dramatic fashion. Meyers told his audience Monday the story of how he and his wife, Alexi Ashe, were heading to their Uber to take them to the hospital when his wife informed him that she couldn't make it, reports People. (See the clip here.) Back they went into the lobby of their apartment building. "I called 911 and over the course of a minute conversation, I basically said, 'We're about to have a baby—we're having a baby—we had a baby," Meyers said. New York City police and fire crews arrived soon after the birth and helped cut the cord, and both mom and baby are doing fine.
