In 2017, he was named an Officer of the Order of Canada for his "extensive and acclaimed body of comedic work as an actor, writer, and producer". Following a series of appearances on several Canadian television programs, Myers attained recognition during his six seasons as a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live from 1989 to 1995, which won him the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series. He subsequently earned praise and numerous accolades for playing the title roles in the Wayne's World (1992–1993), Austin Powers (1997–2002), and Shrek (2001–present) franchises. Myers also played the title character in the 2003 live-action adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat. Myers acted sporadically in the 2010s, having supporting roles in Terminal and Bohemian Rhapsody (both 2018). He made his directorial debut with the documentary Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (2013), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. He created and starred in the 2022 Netflix original series, The Pentaverate, and appeared in David O. Russell's comedy thriller Amsterdam.

“Fame is not creativity, it’s the industrial disease of creativity.”
