With “Dad Man Walking” Seth Meyers steps away from his desk and NBC late-night talk show to offer a standup session in HBO and Max’s Stand Up for Comedy week.

“Dad Man Walking” is his first standup special since the pre-pandemic “Lobby Baby” and is, obviously, about parenting with his wife their three kids, the boys, six and eight, and two-year-old daughter.

“I love talking about my family. I love doing standup,” Meyers, 50, enthused in a virtual press conference. “The fact that the two of them are overlapping right now is genuinely delightful.

“When I was young, I liked comedians who talked about family — because I was a member of a family. I’m hoping that is true for our audience who have maybe not reached this chapter in their life but there is a universal relatability.

“Even if you don’t have children, you’ve certainly had a father or a mother. Or people you’ve watched parent. Ultimately, that’s what grounds this hour hopefully with audiences, no matter who they are.

“The more time you spend with your kids, the more material they give you,” he’s learned. “Then it’s this trade-off because you want to go and tell all these wonderful anecdotes that your kids provided you.

“But in order to do that, you have to abandon them. I would just say to my children if they were less entertaining, I would hang out with them more. But we have a saying in our house: Daddy has to monetize the stories.”

It’s a whole different world, he acknowledged, scripting an hour-long solo performance versus the politically-themed nightly talk show.

“I love what we do every night on ‘Late Night.’ It would be very stressful if my children had to provide an hour’s worth of material a day, which politics does without a problem.

“It’s also nice to have something where when you work on a special, the goal is for it to have a little bit more permanence than ‘Late Night’ has. You are trying to find universal themes and ideas that are both really funny.

“When you do a late night talk show,” he noted, “you’re just on the shoulders of your incredible writing staff. I do a great amount of writing on the show but I’m not first drafting anything anymore.

“So for me, it’s really cool to have this other thing where it’s a fluid process over a matter of years as you’re building an hour-long show.

“You can fiddle with word choice over the course of months or maybe even a year to try to make something its best version. Whereas in ‘Late Night’ you’re just churning it out.”

“Dad Man Walking” streams on HBO Oct. 26
