Meghann Fahy roasts Seth Meyers for his Martha’s Vineyard ‘look’
Actress and Mass. native Meghann Fahy says she was "too poor" to visit Nantucket until she starred in the Netflix series "The Perfect Couple."
Emmy-nominated actress Meghann Fahy has made a name for herself in soapy TV dramas about wealthy white families in summery locales, including “The White Lotus,” “Sirens,” and the Nantucket-set Netflix series “The Perfect Couple.”
But despite being born and raised in Massachusetts, Fahy told Seth Meyers that she had never visited the popular island vacation spot until she starred in the show based on Elin Hilderbrand’s book of the same name.
“The Perfect Couple” was primarily filmed on Cape Cod instead of Nantucket, so the Longmeadow native waited for a break in her filming schedule and took a ferry over to the island.

“We pull in, and immediately I was like, ‘Oh! That’s why I’ve never been to Nantucket,’” Fahy told Meyers. “I was too poor then, and I am still too poor now. This place is crazy.”
In an attempt to commiserate, Meyers (who grew up in Bedford, New Hampshire) told Fahy that he’s a frequent visitor to nearby Martha’s Vineyard.
“You look like you go there,” Fahy shot back.
“I like how you’re answering my ‘Are you a classic New Englander?’ by the way you’re asking these questions,” the late-night host joked.

Despite the zinger, Meyers extended an invite to visit Martha’s Vineyard with him and his family anytime.
“It’s not Nantucket,” Meyers said. “We’re way more laid back.”
