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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Helen Mirren Episode

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the guys are talking about the Helen Mirren episode from season 36, episode 19 on April 9th, 2011. We’ve only got three of the guys today because scheduling a podcast is hard. But not as hard as getting it out on a Tuesday. On this episode, we have Fred Armisen’s Fred Stein, Under-Underground with Jason Sudeikis and Nasim Padrad, and Jason’s all-time closer Strip Club DJ. Plus an extended endorsement of both Late Night mugs and Flat-D fart suppressor pads. And somehow they also manage to shout out a really cool charity.

    We'll Kill U

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, which has always been a Friday podcast, Seth, Akiva, and Jorm discuss "We'll Kill U," the third installment of the "Just Two Guys" franchise. It predates Turtleneck & Chain but wasn't featured on the album, despite the appearance of turtlenecks and chains in the surprisingly fashionable video. But first, Seth talks about his love for John Malkovich (a Lonely Island fan) and some interesting news about The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Jorm tries his hand at current events. Andy isn't here, but he didn't forget about the bee. Enjoy!

    Laser Cats 6: The Musical!

    This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we’re discussing the penultimate Laser Cats, Laser Cats 6: The Musical from season 36, episode 18 featuring host and musical guest Elton John as the aptly named villain Droz. We’ve got a quaidum this week, and yes, I know this episode is late, and yes, I know last week’s was late, and yes, we know most episodes are late! Some of you send us very mean emails about episodes being late, and I think you should calm down and enjoy the sweet sounds of the shock jocks whenever we can manage to get them together and get these episodes out! And speaking of shock jocks, we’ve found the infamous radio drops! In addition to discussing the short, the guys are talking about Judd Apatow’s new documentary on Norm Macdonald, East of Eden, and who Seth had on Late Night this week. Speaking of Seth, it’s the return of Seth’s Corner with Knights of the Realm (and how Elton John messed up his line), and the very first Get in the Cage with Andy as Nicolas Cage and featuring Jake Gyllenhaal. Enjoy the episode and sorry I yelled at you earlier. Thanks!

    Snuff Box: F**k You

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast we’re down an Alvin (Andy) and we’re branching out in format. For those of you who hate comments, sorry to say but Dave the dog walker is back to read some. This week they’re discussing a few sketches (and a runner!) from comedy legend Matt Berry, specifically his work on Snuff Box and Toast of London. But before that, they’re discussing SNL hosts for Season 52, the movie "Obsession" and whether or not it's okay to spoil it at this point, as well as some of their other favorite British comedy moments. It’s a loose episode even with Seth here to wrangle.

    After Party

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, it's a Threeadore. Seth is out and the three chipmunks are causing mischief. Let’s not talk about how they’re three Alvins but when they’re together it's a “Threeadore” because it doesn’t make sense and that’s cool. Today they are discussing “After Party” from Turtleneck & Chain, their 2011 album. But before that they’re playing enough Santigold music to get us a copyright strike. Let’s see if you can even listen to this episode! If you can, Santigold herself calls in with a fun story. Also, don’t call us. We have no t-shirts. There isn’t much else to say about this one because it’s just a lot of gold....enjoy!

    Zach Looks for a New Assistant

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the guys try to figure out who made Zach Looks for a New Assistant (it was John Solomon) and why it has a Digital Short bumper on it even though none of them worked on it (no clue). So they’re just going to sit back and enjoy it... eventually. But first, they will talk about many things, including more 90s movies like the hit comedy of the decade starring future MacGruber villain Billy Zane, Silence of the Hams; Rachel Dratch’s fail in the crossword (it’s Church Chat, not Church Lady); the classic SNL sketch Colon Blow (written by the great Al Franken); and the parade of unused impressions in the sketch The Original Kings of Catchphrase Comedy Tour, in which we learn that Andy’s character was an unused audition bit. Oh, and I totally forgot to mention that this is a “versus” episode. Andy is here for the first half and Jorm for the second. Who does a better job? You decide!

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast…we've got ALL FOUR SHOCK JOCKS!!! Ba ba baaa baaaa. It’s a big deal. Anyways, the guys go on to respond to listener comments about the previous episode, they chat about the New York Times Lonely Island-themed crossword clue (thanks Sam Ezersky) and also debate the comedy movie of each year from 1990–1995.

    Turtleneck & Chain Part 4: Trouble on Dookie Island

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast… Seth is gone but we have the “Threeodores” so we’re good. Andy talks about what he had for breakfast over the Oppenheimer score before the guys move on to talking about “Turtleneck and Chain,” focusing on the track “Trouble on Dookie Island,” describing its Wu-Tang/Raekwon/Ghostface homage, B-Sides beat, and the Scarface intro recreated for free by Michael Bolton! They play and dissect lyrics, debate misheard lines on lyric sites, and explain the “dookies” concept. Jorma shares multiple Howard Parker voiceover takes of “Trouble on Dookie Island” and the MacGruber-inspired origin of that title. They wrap up by looking back on the “Falcor vs. Atreyu” sketch from their album, teasing “Watch Me Do Me” and the surprising old-school inspiration for some of their comedy.  Show Notes Trouble on Dookie Island | https://youtu.be/LOfXGVuOblQ?si=xuKikV5vN7GqRpG_ RaeKwon - RainyDayz feat.
