Andy Samberg Hot: A Look Back at His Early Days on SNL and Beyond

Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the funniest and most absurd Digital Shorts created by Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island during his early days on Saturday Night Live. With so many wonderful shorts to choose from, it's no wonder that Samberg became a household name.

As a Features Editor and Peer Mentor for Collider, I had the chance to delve into Samberg's impressive career, which spans beyond his iconic Digital Shorts. From starring in and producing Brooklyn Nine-Nine, to creating projects such as PEN15, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Samberg has proven himself to be a versatile and talented comedic force.

But it all started with SNL, where Samberg spent seven stellar years honing his craft. During that time, he collaborated with Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone to create some of the show's most memorable Digital Shorts. One such short, 'Lazy Sunday,' became a huge overnight success, cementing their legacy.

Of course, there were struggles along the way. The trio wrote and shot together, which was a luxury that not all new writers at the show enjoyed. But they persevered, and their hard work paid off when they landed the opportunity to write for the 2005 MTV Movie Awards hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

Today, Samberg is still making waves in the comedy world, whether it's through his production company or his guest appearances on podcasts like Comedy Bang! Bang!. He has also starred in a range of films, including Hot Rod, Celeste and Jesse Forever, I Love You, Man, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Palm Springs, and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

So the next time you're feeling nostalgic for Andy Samberg's early days on SNL, just remember: it all started with a little bit of creativity, a lot of hard work, and a willingness to take risks. And who knows? Maybe we'll see him back on our screens soon, bringing his signature humor and charm to a new project.
