The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers

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.

    Listener Q&A Episode 7

    This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we’re down one shock jock and it’s not the one that is literally in the hospital. Andy couldn’t make his schedule work with Seth’s so he’s not here. But the guys are answering your Qs with some As. Seth has discovered the subreddit and has pulled some choice pieces from it to share with the guys, but don’t worry they all agree that they won’t lurk. Also, Akiva explains his poor audio from last week by throwing the producer under the bus and the guys discuss possible merch options. Look below for a link to a place to submit ideas. They listen to some voice notes too and answer questions like, what Lonely Island song should I play at my wedding, where did the Laser Cats come from, and why does a gay woman find Jorma’s character in Girls attractive? And don’t worry, Andy did find a way to let everyone know how he did on the Spelling Bee.

    Get Out!

    This week The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers talk about the digital short, Get Out! And no, it has nothing to do with Jordan Peele’s movie of the same name...maybe? Jorm feels like he overshared last week and might be taking back all the details of his accident. Meanwhile, they talk about all the hot goss around Frisbee and Taylor Swift.....in Sports Illustrated. Also in this episode: More Jon Bovi with Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis, New Secretary with Gerard Butler and Kristen Wiig, and more! We still love you Jorma!

    Firelight (Taylor Swift)

    This week The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers start off with a shocking update for one of their members. Don’t worry he’s okay...more or less. But despite the jokes…it is very serious and we all wish him well. IN ADDITION they talk about the 2009 Twilight-inspired digital short starring a young up-and-coming musician named Taylor Swift. Taylor has been in the news lately for her engagement to the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce. And yes we put that in this description for dem clicks! They also talk about Taylor’s episode that started off with her own host-written monologue song and Seth apologizes for not understanding her songwriting skills. And then Andy gets to talk about the first part of one of his favorite recurring sketches Bunny Business. And Akiva shows some clips from Raw Deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dirty Harry with a farting dog. All that and more this week! We love you Jorm!!

They also take a moment to discuss the passing of Seth’s beloved dog, the headline grabber Frisbee. Plus, Andy’s stuntman suit from Hot Rod is up for auction, and they revisit sketches like Cooking Al Fresco, ESPN Classic: Ladies’ Billiards, and Scrooge McDuck on Update. There’s also a bit about Seth’s other podcast (Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers) and the glorious Marine World Africa, USA.
