Join Seth Meyers as he sits down with fellow SNL alum and comedy-music sensations The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) to discuss their wildly popular and groundbreaking series of SNL Digital Shorts that aired on Saturday Night Live beginning in 2005. Episode by episode they'll discuss how each short was created, what the response to it was at the time, and what impact, if any, it still has today. Aided by Seth, the guys will relive their time at SNL and reminisce on the nearly 50-year-old show from a time when putting short comedy sketches on the internet was so novel that they maybe even helped launch YouTube to do it. Along the way they'll talk all things SNL from guests, fellow cast members, and favorite live sketches including many that never aired.

    This is...The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

    Do you remember December 17th, 2005? It's the day SNL first aired the digital short Lazy Sunday by The Lonely Island. A sketch that changed SNL forever and literally started people watching YouTube. And now to celebrate those digital shorts, Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone are launching The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. They're going to dive back into each of those digital shorts, how they came about, and what else happened on SNL that episode. They're going to discuss them in order, which means the good and the bad. And sometimes, to be honest, the bad are more fun to talk about.

    Find out how the sausage got made, or in this case, how the dick got in the box.
