About:
Whether you want to know who Andy Samberg is, or whether you are
looking for new information about Andy, this is where you will find
it.
Andy Samberg is a journalistic blog that details the work of Andy
Samberg. This includes his past work in The Lonely Island sketch
group, his current work on Saturday Night Live, his movies, images
of him, videos, and news stories. This blog is home of the largest
collection of embedded and linked Andy Samberg videos.
The Lonely Island is the comedy group that Andy Samberg is involved
in. They actually did two "sitcom" pilots that weren't picked up by
the networks, and they were commissioned to do a "sketch show"
pilot. Well, that one (Awesometown) also didn't get picked up by the
networks. However, one of the networks that passed on it, MTV, hired
the three boys to write on the MTV Movie Awards. That's where they
met Jimmy Falon, who was the host for that year. Jimmy thought they
were hilarious and introduced them to Lorne Michaels, the creator of
Saturday Night Live.
In the meantime, Andy had been practicing his standup comedy in
clubs, and he even landed a comic showcase TV spot on Comedy
Central's Premium Blend. So that's why Lorne hired Andy as a cast
member and the other two as writers, directors, and musicians (they
mix all of Andy's music videos). Lorne hired Andy because he was
more experienced in front of audiences and it showed.
In 2006, Andy Samberg was approached by Pam Brady (producer and
writer of Just Shoot Me, South park, and Team America: World Police)
to star in a movie she wrote, Hot Rod, about a moped rider named
Rod. Well, they hit it off, and she let all three members of The
Lonely Island rewrite her movie with her and share the credit. She
also let the director of their group, Akiva, direct the movie (he
had been directing all the SNL Digital Shorts and several music
videos). Jorma also stars, and they got Chester Tam (long-time
collaborator of The Lonely Island) and Bill Hader into the cast.

Wiki-Trivia
(from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Samberg):
Andy Samberg (born August 18, 1978 in Berkeley, California), also known as Ardy, is a stand-up comic and member of comedy group The Lonely Island. Andy Samberg attended New York University (NYU) film school and UC Santa Cruz. He is a current cast member on SNL, and has appeared on Premium Blend as well as a cameo on Arrested Development. Samberg has also made guest appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Late Show with David Letterman since joining SNL.
While his live sketch roles were limited in his first year, he has appeared in many non-live sketches, including commercial parodies and various other filmed segments, labeled as Digital Shorts. Samberg's first appearance was a minor role in a fake commercial parodying Morgan Stanley. For the December 17, 2005 show, he and Chris Parnell starred in a Digital Short called Lazy Sunday, a rap song sung by two white Manhattanites on a quest to see "The Chronicles of Narnia." The short became an Internet sensation and garnered Samberg significant media and public attention.
In December 2006, Samberg followed up this music video with a spoof on early 1990s boy band fare with "-- in a Box", a duet with Justin Timberlake. A Christmas song about two men (Timberlake and Samberg) giving their lovers a box with their genitalia inside as presents, going so far as to explain how to create the gift. The style of the video and the musical performance is reminiscent of early 1990s R&B sex ballads made popular by acts like Jodeci, Jon B., Bel Biv Devoe, Color Me Badd, and R. Kelly.
