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.

I do, because 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, myself, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Takone have a new podcast, The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, where we're going to dive back into each of those digital shorts, how they came about, and what else happened on SNL that episode.
Basically, Higgins and Shue came, said, whoa, that aired, do it again. And we were immediately out of ideas. We had been at the show maybe two months, and we were like, we got nothing.
else. We're going to discuss them in order, which means the good and the bad. And sometimes, if I'm being honest, the bad are more fun to talk about.
Should we say frapping anytime? we're talking about times when we were performing our lyrics? I think that's fair. Frapping is a term we coined for fake rapping.
Oh, interesting. Find out how the sausage got made, or, in this case, how the dick got in the box.
I was in a corner talking to myself, just being like, what if a present was a dick inside a box, like in that movie, Diner? And then Andy was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what'd you just say?
