The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
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.

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).

Turtleneck & Chain Part 5: Japan

Nintendo Cartoon Hour
Hey look at that, it’s an episode! Only a few days late! Everyone is on summer vacation so we’re struggling to get these episodes out. But we won’t stop trying! And I’m kinda “raw-doggin” this description so hopefully it makes sense!

Listener Q&A Episode 14
On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we’re doing another QA Q&A. Andy is out and we can’t do any of the shorts without him so this is what we got!
