Andy Samberg thanks the Guardians Of The 99 for saving his job, heckles Jimmy Fallon at his
Aux Features Clips
Andy Samberg joined old Saturday Night Live buddy and new network-mate Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday’s Tonight Show to celebrate the return of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Granted a reprieve after being unceremoniously shitcanned by Fox, the enduringly hilarious cop sitcom comes back on Thursday on its new NBC home, right before creator Michael Schur’s other stellar current series, The Good Place. (Making NBC TV’s Good Place, at least for an hour a week.) Citing the outpouring of online support for Brooklyn Nine-Nine as instrumental in saving Detective Jake Peralta and company’s bacon, Samberg told Jimmy Fallon that its the unlikely heroism of a ragtag group of plucky celebrity heroes that gets much of the credit.
As noted during the firestorm of criticism that Fox was cancelling arguably its best, funniest, and most cast-diverse show (while reviving aggrieved old white guy grunt-fest Last Man Standing), Brooklyn Nine-Nine boasts some eclectically cool fans, including the likes of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Hamill, Guillermo del Toro, Sean Astin, and other former-SNL NBC employee Seth Meyers, all of whom bonded on Twitter over their shared love of the deadpan comic stylings of Andre Braugher, among other shenanigans. (They call themselves the Guardians of the 99, and Samberg has some interesting ideas for a spinoff film, if del Toro is up to film it.) Promising that the Nine-Nine’s new digs won’t change anything about how New York’s most honorable-yet-ridiculous coppers will go about their business, Samberg—whose musical-comedy troupe The Lonely Island (alongside pals Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone) will be performing live at Bonnaroo in June—showed a clip where new wife Amy Santiago’s signature preparedness provides Samberg’s Jake with stacks of recklessly spendable wedding insurance cash.
Oh, and since Fallon and Samberg are both inveterate goofballs, they wheeled out Fallon’s bit where thoroughly un-confident singer Peter (Fallon) gets loudly heckled by an invariably Dutch boy-coiffed audience member (Samberg). As far as Fallon’s bits go, at least Samberg (like Tracy Morgan and Will Ferrell before him) gets all the laughs, riffing absurdly on Rupert Holmes’ “Escape (The Piña Colada Song).” Plus, Samberg’s cake-obsessed heckler has his own website, if you can’t get enough of the bit. Or cake.

That blonde wig weirdly suits Andy.
Fact: That’s his real hair.
always clear your crowdwork: the lady next to Samberg actually went to lick his finger…awkwarddddddddd…and I hear Joanna Newsom garrotes people with harp strings, look out.
Lol I saw her go to lick his finger. That’s funny.
The Good Place, Brooklyn 99, and Superstore are the only network shows I still watch, it’s kind of crazy they all ended up in the same place. I’m just hoping none of them get lost in the shuffle
Michael Schur might be TV’s MVP.
It wouldn’t be the first time NBC pulled that trick.
I know. Look what happened to The Snorks.
Not that trick, man. We don’t talk about that trick.

R.I.P. Great News and (presumably?) Trial and Error.
My only wish is that Michael Schur’s shows get endings. He’ll always come up with something worth watching. It just hurts when it ends abruptly.
Wow…can’t hide the Heino, eh Andy?
So this is what it’s come to: recaps of Jimmy Fallon segments.

He seems like a good dude even if I hated his sctick for the longest time. I was at the end of my high school career around 2009-2010 around the time Lonely Island’s SNL stuff were at their peak and I had an eye twitch everytime I heard LIKE A BOSS or JIZZED IN MY PANTS dropped in the hallway.
I’ve warmed up since then and Popstar was sorely underrated but should have been released 5 years earlier
WOW apparently Popstar cost $20MM and only made $10MM. I am really surprised. I was about to say that it will definitely make money eventually just by being a funny thing that’s easily watchable but now I’m not so sure. Yeesh. Samberg is okay, but surprisingly un$$$. I think it takes a few minutes with him to see that unlike Sandler, Samberg isn’t lazy. Watch his timing in the Fallon clip, his verses are timed like a Sondheim counterpoint, he actually does know what he’s doing, I think that’s what’s warmed me to him (though I don’t watch the 99).
(though I don’t watch the 99).It’s like I don’t know you at all. At all.
but I’m standing right behind youuuuuuuyeah I’m very busy have very limited time (you’d never know it from my commenting habit) so I really triage what shows I watch, often good shows get the axe, sometimes because I would spend too much time on them (Justified and the Americans I’ve barely seen at all)…some people might not agree with what I replace them with (Orphan Black, that OJ show) but that’s the way the cookie crumbles…I still haven’t made it to “Show Me a Hero” “The Night Of” I stopped watching The Deuce after three episodes, there are a lot of shows I had to tap out from.
Popstar was horribly underrated. It was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time and really enjoyed it, but I do agree it would of done a lot better if it had been released a few years earlier when the Lonely Island were at its peak
His smug act really annoys me, especially on the otherwise good Brooklyn Nine Nine and on what little of the Golden Globes I watched the other day, but the fact he’s married to Joanna Newsom at least partly because he adored her music and sought her out makes me like him by default.Oh, and the “I’M GOING TO MY QUIET PLACE!!!”->dance sequence->mountain fall section of Hot Rod is something that will always brighten my day when I watch it, even if it was mostly stunt people.
And now that Lonely Island was mentioned, I have to watch the “I Threw it On the Ground” video. 🙁 He can be great when he’s not doing his shtick.
Samberg was funny but can’t compete with my irrational love for the Will Ferrell iteration of the heckler bit. “Streetlights! People! Streetlights! People!” It makes me laugh every time.
I used to not be able to stand Jimmy Fallon–not a fan of talk shows in general. But I accidentally happened upon the clip where Nicole Kidman came in and revealed they almost had a thing, and his reactions during that humanizes him a lot to me. Now I like him, I guess? Still can’t stand Jimmy Kimmel’s dead eyes, though.
There’s always a lot of hate to be thrown around. And the medium weight guy doing milquetoast entertainment is an easy target. Really what they’re saying is that they don’t like the format of The Tonight Show. He’s doing fluff interviews to plug projects and make people look good. If he does that, he’s done his job.
I used to dislike Kinmel a lot but after he connected his family’s experience with their baby almost dying to the importance of preserving the affordable care act, I warmed up to him a lot. I still don’t love a lot of his bits, but it definitely humanized him for me.
Why can’t this unfunny Jew just go away?
HOT DAMN.
