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 we're re-releasing the very first listener Q&A episode! This originally aired in September 2024 so some of the references are dated but the laughs are still fresh. Seth and the guys answer some of your burning questions (slightly smoldering almost a year later) about the making of some of their digital shorts, Andy’s Spelling Bee tactics, and so so so much more! Sorry for the Hauser move this week but we'll be back next week with another righteous kill!
