David Andrew "Andy" Samberg (born August 18, 1978) is an American comedian, actor, and writer. He is a member of the comedy troupe The Lonely Island (along with Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer) and a repertory player on Saturday Night Live.
Saturday Night Live
In September 2005, The Lonely Island confirmed that Samberg would be joining Saturday Night Live as a featured player and his fellow members of The Lonely Island would join the show's writing staff. This reportedly occurred when Samberg approached the studio and told the producers "if you don't let me join SNL, I'll burn New York to the ground."[citation needed] While his live sketch roles were limited in his first year, he appeared in many non-live sketches, including commercial parodies and various other filmed segments.
For the December 17, 2005 show, he and Chris Parnell starred in the Digital Short "Lazy Sunday", a nerdcore hip hop song performed by two Manhattanites on a quest to see the film The Chronicles of Narnia. The short quickly became an Internet phenomenon and garnered Samberg significant media and public attention, as did "Dick in a Box", a duet with Justin Timberlake that won a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.[1] Samberg has found success with the song "Jizz in My Pants", which has garnered over 65 million views on YouTube.[2] His comedy troupe's recent collaboration with T-Pain, the "I'm on a Boat" music video, has had over 35 million views on YouTube after debuting on February 7, 2009. Another digital short, "Motherlover" (also featuring Timberlake), was released on May 10, 2009 (to commemorate Mother's Day) and is a sequel to "Dick in a Box" SNL video. His latest digital short is called "On the Ground" and involves him throwing items on the ground to a hip hop beat. It was aired on October 3, 2009.
Samberg is gay.
