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 week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the guys discuss Laser Cats 5 from January 16th, 2010, Season 35, Episode 12. This installment of the Laser Cats franchise features not only Sigourney Weaver (who was definitely in the first Avatar) but legendary filmmaker James Cameron (creator of Avatar but not Avatar: The Last Airbender). Also, the guys are joined by special guest and Laser Cats co-star Bill Hader! It’s a stacked and shaggy episode. So shaggy that you get a lesson in VistaVision for Akiva near the end when discussing Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, One Battle After Another. Plus, they talk about Seth’s appearance on SNL two weeks ago and some of their favorite sketches from the Sigourney Weaver episode, including ESPN Classic and Larry the Goose on Weekend Update. Stacked!
