It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast.
Welcome back, everybody. It's another episode of the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast.
And this week, it's one I never tire of watching it.
There's a real arc to your performance, Andy.
There's an audacity from the very beginning to Hero Song.
Truly. Well put.
Let's start with the seeds of Hero Song.
I think our friend Drew Campbell,
who makes music, had sent us some beats, right, Keef?
You're remembering this much better than me already.
I think it's him and Asa DeConi or it was Asa.
I'm pretty sure it was Drew though,
and I was listening to it and was just like,
that's what this song should be.
Was like me doing like a dime store,
Jean Valjean, vigilante guy.
That's how it started and then obviously,
the joke became what the joke was.
But that was the deal. I think in fact,
you were busy that week for some reason,
Keev, and I recorded with Asa in our office.
Let me get the show run down and figure out where I was.
Yeah, it explains why my vocals are so daring.
It is so daring. That's the audacity.
It is, again, the premise is we're watching
an obviously wealthy man decide he is going to become a vigilante.
Yeah, it's like if Bruce Wayne sucked.
Yeah, and you suck so much.
Yes, so much.
The suckiest thing about you is you are definitely a dude who thinks you're nailing these notes.
Correct.
But it's so un— there is no winking to the camera.
It's like watching an American Idol audition where somebody thinks they're crushing it.
It's before autotune, you know?
Yes.
Because it's not terrible, terrible.
No, but it is terrible.
It's very bad.
It is.
I mean, the, uh, God, what's the right word for it?
It's so drippy.
The bending of the notes and some of the note choices are so atrocious.
The pronunciation of e-vil.
E-vil, yeah, yeah.
Also the lyrics stink.
Stink.
As I look down on the city, my heart sinks and cries.
So much crime and evil, everywhere deceit and lies.
Brothers turning on their brothers.
Sisters stealing from their sisters.
Where the dying go to die.
Is it funnier because it's a little all a little off
because this guy is off?
Well, it's funnier because you weirdly
are happy with what happens.
It's very like a moment in the 80s kind of vocals.
Like, I like these, but it's very like someone trying
to be like Steve Winwood or Don Henley or something.
In my mind, obviously it represents differently
because I am not them.
But like the hitting of the falsetto on,
I can't take another murder.
It's like, oh my god, stop it.
That one reminds me of that song in a New York minute.
It's just, ugh.
It would be less funny if you sounded good.
Absolutely.
It had to be kind of sucky.
And also, it's very funny because this guy,
I like to think this is a rich guy who is so rich.
People have always told him, no, you can sing.
Yes, but I will say the musical inspiration for it
is that song in a New York Minute.
Oh.
Which is like talking about the city and like,
Yeah.
You know, down by the tracks.
Yeah.
There's some way down the track.
And I guess it doesn't happen anymore.
Like it's very ripped from that.
Yoram's brother Asa recorded it, so he just was in New York and was doing it with you,
I guess, because he's in it too.
So he's the first guy that looks like a drug dealer kind of walking up to the SUV and doing
some sort of illegal activity.
That's him in it.
Yes.
For those that don't know, Asa, Yoram's little brother, is the lead singer and creator with
his buddy of Electric Guest.
Is there a band?
I actually asked Asa about his memories from that week and he sent me a little voice note.
So if anyone objects to listening to it, I would leave your headphones on the desk right
now.
No objection.
I'll wait till after I hear it.
When I was talking to Andy about this skip and this time, I realized that we were all kind of like blacked out damn near for this period.
Them, because they worked insane hours.
The hours of SL were truly the realest.
But yeah, they flew me out.
I had no idea why.
I literally think it was YORM was busy for some reason.
And I knew how to run Pro Tools, which was the program that we used to record vocals.
So I just was like a vibes guy.
And our friend Drew Campbell did the beat.
Drew's a total weirdo.
And we knew he'd have some just dramatic shit.
So we hit him up hell of late.
He sent us a ton of beats.
And we were just scrolling through stuff.
And I think when Andy heard the piano of Hero Song, he was like, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait,
let it play, let it play.
And we just thought it was this light, delicate piano ballad.
We hadn't heard the drums come in, this absurd drop.
And so I think he immediately started just humming something.
And then when the drums came in,
everyone just kind of lost it and we were like, that's it.
So fast forward to like 5 a.m. I think,
we like finished the song.
It was hella late.
Andy went to his apartment to get a couple hours of sleep
before they shot it.
And we just ran around in New York, like all over.
It was super fun for me.
I got to make a cameo in the video.
I don't know what I was.
I think I was like a drug dealer slash sex worker.
What?
But the idea was that the city
That's how he felt.
Gone to hell and crime had taken over.
You're telling me he's Yorma's brother.
And the last thing I really remember was that
by the time that Akiva started editing,
everyone was just fully toast, just like off zero sleep and delirious.
And we really started thinking everything was funny.
Anyways, those are my scant memories of that week.
Okay.
Thank you, Asa.
I think we can agree Drew Campbell's a weird guy.
Do you agree with that, Seth?
I do.
Well, I mean, hearing it from Asa, who always has a lockbox of a memory.
Shout out to Drew Campbell.
He also made the beat for Mother Lover.
With Asa.
Oh, that's good.
And Boombox.
I also like this deep into our podcast that Asa thinks people don't know the SNL schedule
is nuts.
I know.
He's not a listener.
Yes.
So he self-assigned himself the role of sex worker, apparently.
He was just like, we don't know what he's selling. He's on the street walking up to a window of a car. You're selling something.
He's selling something.
Yeah, but at no time did we say, hey, you're a sex worker.
I mean, I think you could see it in his performance, maybe.
Okay. Well, thank you, Asa. Yeah, thank you, Asa.
Thank you, Asa. You are this wealthy person.
You're very upset at the direction your city is going.
You are in your sort of glass wall department,
and then you sort of take to the streets to show people exactly how bad things are.
Can I ask a question, a production question?
Was that flat hotel again?
Because we got a better room and you somehow
made it look kind of fancy and...
I think it was.
Oh, look.
I'm pretty sure.
Somebody is joining us from Finland.
Well, here's someone who will be able to really clear things up.
Moi.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Welcome.
Jorma joining the pod.
This is very exciting.
I feel like not a lot of pods are so, I don't know, hastily thrown together
that one of the hosts just joins mid pod.
I thought you were gonna say fluid. We're fluid.
We are fluid.
This is more like a morning zoo crew,
which is what Yorma always wanted.
Yeah, Yorma's always wanted.
What I wanted.
Zoo crew.
Man, we can't be shock jocks
unless there's four of us.
Four shock jocks.
Uh, Yorm, were you there the week we made Hero Song?
No, no. I got to watch these separately because I was still doing Land of the Lost.
Well, then don't take this the wrong way. Off you go.
Alright. Goodbye. Thanks for stopping by.
Jorm, do you know how many you missed? Like, when are you back?
I missed eight. So this is actually the perfect amount of time
for me to be shooting in Finland.
Well, you guys talk about the ones that I missed.
Was it the complete rest of the season,
or did you come back?
Yeah, I missed the entire rest of the season.
Cause it was 65 days.
I think it was an 80 day shoot and I shot for 65 days.
Which is- That's a lot of days.
For people who don't know movies, that's a ton of days.
To be in Chaka makeup,
three and a half hours in, half an hour out, yeah, that was a lot.
What was the last comedy that got 80 shooting days?
Linda Lost.
Maybe, right?
That was it.
Yes, probably.
When the box office happened, they're like, we can't give these guys 80.
Tropic Thunder?
Barbie, does Barbie count?
Barbie does, Barbie counts.
Yeah, Barbie would definitely have been plus 80.
Yeah. But we're talking about Barbie would definitely have been plus 80.
But we're talking about Hero's Song, Yoram.
I don't know if you've watched it recently.
I did and I rewatched it and I also just remember the feeling of loving seeing for twofold,
just missing you guys so much and watching it from my crappy apartment and being so sad
missing you guys. And then also being so relieved that I didn't have to do any work.
That sounds very fair.
Thank you.
We were talking about the moment where Andy goes down to the streets to show us how bad it is.
There is a moment I really love.
There's a guy sort of who seems to be down on his luck, sort of huddled next to a fire hydrant.
Yeah.
But then there's a moment where you open a dumpster, Andy.
Yeah.
And you just shake your head at the sad state of things.
But it's just a dumpster with folded up cardboard boxes.
Doesn't look bad at all.
I think the original idea about it was that it doesn't make sense, which makes me laugh.
But also, there's subtext maybe, which is like, they didn't even recycle these.
I see. That's what I got.
I could not figure, you do look, you're like,
it's come to this.
You're like an Earth Warrior,
like Captain Planet or something.
Yes, exactly, like they put all these cardboard boxes
in the normal dumpster, what the fuck?
Are you wearing sort of Michael Douglas suspenders?
I can't remember now.
I have a scarf that's very Wall Street-y,
but it's also kind of American Psycho-y and Bruce Wayne-y.
That one Bruce Wayne shot where you're in the middle
of the street with their own walking by,
but you're the only one feeling its rhythms.
That's a Tootsie shot.
Tootsie shot.
Oh yeah, that's another Tootsie.
Yeah, we're calling them all out.
You have the line, the aforementioned line,
I can't take another murder.
And then you open up a newspaper,
one of those newspaper machines,
and the headline is 50 more murders.
50 more murders.
Yeah, that's pushing him to the brink.
You're at a place where you can't even take one more.
Yeah, and then the frustration shows.
I will say it really slow burns.
Like, these are titters. They are not big laughs.
No.
It's an all or nothing piece.
Detail work, though.
Then, though, we see where it's going,
why it's called Hero Song.
Of course, the audience did know it was called Hero Song.
They're just like, surprised Andy
thinks he can sing this song.
And then you're on the corner of a building.
That has to be 30 Rock, right?
That glorious shot.
Yes, it definitely is.
We're just on the roof garden where it has the thing
where it's the thing where
it's like 10 steps higher so you can safely stand there.
I want to say something.
It's a fantastic superhero costume.
I agree.
It is, and I believe it already was made from a different
sketch years earlier.
And that also would have been a huge drag if the suit stunk.
Yeah, yes.
It would have made it a lot less good.
Also, that shot, I remember the first time I saw it
when I went into edit and Keefe had been assembling.
And I was like, hey, that shot looks fucking good.
Well, the audience reacts to how good the shot is.
Yeah, and also just the reveal that that's where it was going.
They're like, oh, no.
You look cool.
You look dope.
And then we take it to the streets.
And I wouldn't go that far. I would say I look dope.
You looked pretty cool. You know what I liked? It wasn't one of those...
Sometimes the superhero suits in comedy sketches are too bulky, like it's too fake muscly.
Sure.
And other times they're too leotardy, and it was like right in the sweet spot.
Okay.
You looked as though you'd be a little formidable.
You enter a sidewalk scene where Sudeikis is taking
a purse, wrestling a purse away from our host that week,
Amy Adams.
You sing to him, he notices you and he's like looking at you
and kind of listening now as you say you're about to meet
your maker.
Yeah, because Justice has a new name.
Justice has a new, and then you do a,
can you do the yeah, yeah, yeah?
I'm gonna try it, but no judgment. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah? I'm going to try it, but no judgment. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pretty on the money.
Man, great.
Wish it would rain, too.
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of wish it would rain connectivity.
And then everything's been heading
towards the next moment, which is Sude, Sudeikis punches you so hard.
So hard.
And you immediately have a great Andy Slackjawed face.
He is... You did not see it coming.
Nobody saw it coming.
You stop, unhand her right now
You're about to meet your maker
Justice has a new name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For too long, you've walked among
I really like to think this guy, it never occurred to him that someone would hit him.
He's like, no, no, I'm the guy. I'm gonna be the guy.
So as soon as I see the suit, I'm just gonna win.
Right. Yeah.
Jason never looks even a little bit scared by you.
Kinda can't believe it.
I also do think that in this world, right,
he's hearing you sing.
Oh, for sure.
So he has no respect for any part of you.
I'm singing for way too long too,
for someone who's trying to hear me.
Ha ha ha.
Amy Adams knows everything.
He just punches you. I had Kevin count it up.
How many times do you think you get punched in this sketch?
73.
55 times.
Damn it, they overshot it.
55 times, and it's just a rhythmic ass kicking.
Oh my god.
He's holding you up.
He punches you like 25 times.
You finally take a knee.
We cut to Amy Adams is concerned.
Well, yeah.
She realized it's not going well. He punches you another like 15 times on a knee. We cut to Amy Adams' concerned. Well, yeah. She realized it's not going well.
He punches you another, like, 15 times on your knee.
Then there's the really nice move
where you don't think a punch could be heightened.
But he punches you and you spit up a little bit of blood.
Yeah.
And it hits harder.
The sound effect amps up too, I think.
There's also a moment in there where they're slowing down
and you're like, OK, we're almost done.
And then it cuts to a new angle and they're going twice as fast.
And they start going fast again.
And you're like, oh, no.
I was gonna say, I do want to take a moment
to commend Akiva's editing again,
where it was like, it found so many extra jokes
other than just it's the same punch over and over and over again.
Like, it has its own kind of rhythm to it.
And that is one of the moments that gets me.
Where you're like, okay, it's gonna end
and then no, we got a second win.
And the audience, again, you don't know right
until you show it, but you know while you're watching it
that you had gotten the alchemy right
because the audience is a wave.
They're riding this wave.
They are so on board with the punching
and every little shift is working.
And then much like last week in The Mirror,
we had some great non-verbal acting from Andy where you're just making sounds.
The sound you make when you turn back up after you spit up blood.
You're just sort of like,
eeeh.
Definitely towards the end there, it takes a turn right after that where I do go like,
oh, is he gonna kill this guy?
Like, you're on Sudeikis' side.
You're on Sudeikis' side, too, of point.
And then at a certain moment, I'm like,
oh, leave him alone.
Well, I don't know, man.
I'm rooting against my guy the whole time.
Part of the singing being so annoying
is teeing up this moment.
When he gets the two by four, I'm like, wait, he doesn't deserve that. Well, there is, yeah. against my guy the whole time. Part of the singing being so annoying is teeing up this moment.
When he gets the two by four, I'm like, wait.
He doesn't deserve that.
Well, there is.
Yeah.
There's a great moment.
So basically, Amy Adams decides to cut her losses.
Yeah.
She leaves and thanks you.
Yeah, very brave.
She says, you're very brave.
Yeah, she says you're very brave.
Honestly, her performance, because she's
Amy Adams, being so grounded and real is helping
every moment of it.
Yeah, she really also might be thinking this guy's going to kill him.
You finally hit the ground, she's gone.
And then it's really, I mean, you can tell when Sudeikis picks up the mailbox that it's,
you know, not a real mailbox, but it's been there the whole time and you couldn't tell.
Good that it's behind a car though.
That was a fortuitous.
Well, it was great.
So, Din, now explain this to me.
Two in a row, totally fortuitous.
Is this just dumb luck because he throws a mailbox
on top of Andy and he hits him with a two by four.
In each case, right as a car goes by.
That's right.
Yeah, it's random.
Listen, the cardboard boxes in the dumpster,
I guarantee is just we went to the first dumpster we saw and you opened
it and we went, oh, it's just cardboard boxes. That's fine. And there's no lights
out there. We just went out on the street with the crew is probably three more
people than what's on camera. We were probably six people total out there with
Amy and one security guard because it's the host. Did you have security guards?
Because I remember shooting shorts being like, ooh. We had security guard.
When you take the host, there would always be a guy.
But it's not like there's a ton of traffic either.
It's almost like a perfectly queued two cars at two moments.
And it makes it seem a lot more real and also
more painful and brutal.
Yeah.

Seth was saying something the other day
about how you needed to not skip leg day
when you were Chaka because of all the crouching.
And maybe if you had prepped a little,
you wouldn't need those cortisone shots.
True or false?
That's true.
What you could have used is FitBod. If you had FitBod, you had prepped a little, you wouldn't need those cortisone shots. True or false? That's true. What you could have used is FitBod.
If you had FitBod,
you could have customized a workout based on your goals.
In this case, it would have been crouching like a monkey.
You could have typed that right in there.
It would have been like, do some lunges, Seth.
What are some leg exercises
that you think would have helped him?
Squats.
Squats, that's right.

Here's a fun BTS.
The one thing Lorne asked us to cut,
and we did, was Sudeikis after the two by four leaves,
then walks back and spits on me.
You remember that. Was it a dress?
I don't believe it played a dress.
I remember showing this to Lorne on a phone in his office.
Oh, really?
Really? Did we ever do that?
No, it was a one-time thing.
I think it played a dress and he just went,
I would lose the spit.
I pretty much remember being under the bleachers in him,
because I remember that too,
because we so rarely got a note from Lorne.
It was usually we just played it and he would go,
nice work, and then we move on.
You remember showing it to him on the phone,
that's so specific as a memory.
Yeah, that's so specific.
I remember it being that one and showing it to him his office. I don't remember why.
But he cut, and by the way, he's right.
Yeah, it was unnecessary.
It was us being, you know, masochistic.
But it still makes me laugh.
If you're wondering if my neck hurt badly
for the next two weeks, it did.
Maybe that's why you always have to do your little
neck cracks in the morning now.
It's possible, but I will also say worth it.
And that's just from sim have to do your little neck cracks in the morning now. It's possible, but I will also say worth it.
And that's just from simulating the head going back?
Yeah.
I mean, we shot so many fucking punches.
Right.
Yeah, we're not looping it, are we?
Are some of those the same ones being shown again?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
We had one camera.
I mean, no wonder your neck hurt, because that's 55 in the version that airs and you
shot it so many more times. How late do you think it was when you were outside with Amy Adams?
Well, that's a great question. I have no clue.
Somewhere between midnight and two probably.
Yeah.
Maybe we might have got her right after blocking on Friday,
so we might have got her at like 930.
I don't know though because it was really close to 30 Rock where we
shot and there's like no one around
That's true. By the way, the fact that there's no professional lights. It's so well lit
It is if you had professional lights, that's how you would want it to look we would move till we got under a street light
Right or like scaffolding lighting or that was scaffolding lighting and it was really good. You want more BTS Seth?
Love BTS. I think that might be what a lot of the listeners are here for.
It's definitely the podcast for BTS.
Yeah. Yeah.
Smooth like butter.
I mean, if you're asking me, I'm all about that, standing next to you.
But that's solo work, I understand.
We had a different idea this week.
I'm not gonna go into great detail about it,
but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams,
and it was very dirty.
Oh.
I know that's kind of shitty to not say
what the premise was.
It was basically like we were both really old,
and we were having a picnic, like old people couple,
and one of us gets stung by a scorpion,
and then one of them is I'm dying or something,
and the one lament on my deathbed
is that we didn't explore things more sexually
in our life, and it's's this huge up anthem about that.
We played the beginning of it for her and read a bunch of the lyrics,
and she thought it was very funny.
She was like, so nice.
As always, we love Amy.
She's a genius.
She was like, that's really funny.
I can't do that. Little girls are so like obsessed with Enchanted right now.
They will find this and it will be scarring for them.
And like, I just can't mix that right now.
Love the ending.
I remember us being like, okay.
And then when we went out to shoot Hero Song,
within five minutes, a mother and her little girl walked up
and the look on the little girl's face upon seeing Amy Song, within five minutes, a mother and her little girl walked up,
and the look on the little girl's face upon seeing Amy Adams,
I was like, oh, she was so right.
And it was very instructive for me.
It's not something I even ever thought about in our line of work,
you know what I mean?
Of like, oh, she has an obligation.
A responsibility.
Like, she actually has an obligation and a responsibility to those kids,
and she took it really seriously,
and I remember being really impressed by that.
Yeah.
Especially because I think you can do serious work
as an actor, but you just can't do something on a show kids...
Like, SNL's a show kids would watch, right?
Well, it also spoke to the internet's influence.
Like, up until that point, YouTube and stuff,
that was like a year or two into it even existing
and being a thing that people would be like, I'm going to watch everything with Amy Adams because I love Enchanted
and accidentally finding that proposed song.
Can I just gratuitously mention one thing?
Gratuitous, go.
Speaking of Amy Adams, she's in my wife's movie Night Bitch, which comes out December
6th, and she's fucking amazing in it.
Oh yeah, do a plug. That was my plug.
That's a good plug. Night, bitch.
Cool. All right, bye, Jorm.
Bye. Bye-bye.
Thanks for stopping by.
Bye-kitos.
Jorm, your skin looks rosy and moist.
Have you been in a sun situation?
Well, first of all, I took off my pants
while we were talking just now
because I just came from shooting at a theme park,
and Jason Siegel says hi, by the way, guys.
Hey.
Hello to him.
By the way, I like that you keep giving us details,
none of which mean you would have to take your pants off.
I just took off my pants because I was at a theme park.
That was one point.
That really made no sense at all.
It was a long day of shooting, guys.
We were out at a lake, we were punching people on a boat
and then we were at a theme park. What day of shooting, guys. We were out at a lake, we were punching people on a boat, and then we were at the theme park.
What day of shooting is it?
This is day three.
Just completed day three of 32.
Well, congratulations.
You're actually shooting.
You're doing it.
I'm shooting a movie,
and you're rallying to do the podcast,
which is impressive,
and we don't take that,
what does it mean?
Take it for granted.
Hey, um-
I do.
I take it for granted because I didn't wanna do a podcast.
Okay, but go on.
Yeah, yeah, I knew that though.
Uh, Suds did spit on you at dress, Sandberg.
Yeah.
So it did play at dress, but then why would we have played it for Learn on a phone in
his office?
That I don't know.
Maybe there was a question about, for Amy Adams or something?
Maybe he asked after dress to cut the spit and we showed it to him to put him at ease.
That's very possible.
Be like, hey, this is what we did.
Now can it air?
And he said yes. Again, yeah, we so rarely got. Be like, hey, this is what we did. Now can it air? And he said yes.
Again, yeah, we so rarely got notes.
I bet you that's exactly what we did.
I bet you we cut it and then you went,
let me go run it to him to make sure
that he thinks it's good.
But do you remember that year that Lauren was like,
does your phone have video?
Do you have video on your phone?
And he just like wanted everybody to show him videos
on his, he couldn't believe it.
Yeah, yeah, that's so cool.
He's like, whoa, you know, that's crazy.
Oh my God, that's just in your phone?
That's like Dick Tracy's watch.
Well Seth, this is a callback, but I remember playing it for him That's so cool. He's like, whoa, you know, that's crazy. Oh my God, that's just in your phone? That's like Dick Tracy's watch.
Well, Seth, this is a callback,
but I remember playing it for him
and then him going like, yeah, it looks good.
Tell Seth he's not good at impressions.
Fuck.
God damn it.
You know what though, you're a good friend
cause you kept that from me.
There's no reason to tell me that.
No, and I actually now feel bad that I told you now.
Well, it's all right.
It's in the press.
He's on record now. A top comment from six years ago is,
he still did his job, saved her.
Oh.
Which is really nice.
That's take away.
That's great.
Sometimes it's a noble sacrifice, you know.
I love that.
That's looking great.
Here's somebody else that says,
this is exactly the real deal.
I mean, like when you think you have a great idea
for your future, but then hits you right in on the balls
Oh like the metaphor of life people are really getting like life meaning out of this. I would just say I love hero song
I think it's great. I think it holds up really well. Thanks, Seth Lee. Bravo to you guys
I will say it's one of the ones where I was laughing a lot when we were editing
Yeah
which I always remember that a very fond way,
specific to our process of like,
it reminds me of like how we were when we started out.
Where you're not just doing it to make something where it's actually like,
you're discovering why it's funny as you're cutting.
I also remember watching it and having discussions with you guys where you're like,
no, we're not going to tell you what it's about.
And just being like, oh yeah, that was the right move.
Right, well yeah, you have to have the element of surprise.
We wanted your honest reaction.
Do you remember why Asa was in New York?
No, I was gonna ask you guys about that,
but no, who knows?
Because obviously he's in it,
we talked about that right before you jumped on Yorm.
That's right, yeah.
So you got a little replacement Yorm,
like a Yorm from Concentrate, as I like to say.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm sure he loves that.
More condensed Yorm.
Yorm from Concentrate.
Yeah, he's got more muscles and he's a little...
He's just like compacted.
Everything's more...
Yeah, but it's harder.
Everything's harder too.
It's less soft.
Yeah, it's harder.
More mature.
Seth, have you ever called Josh Seth from Concentrate?
You think he would take kindly to that?
But he's not smaller or more muscle-y.
I bet he's like that.
It's so harsh.
First appearance of Vampire Weekend on the show.
Yes. Wonderful.
Wanna guess the songs?
First album, what songs are they doing?
Oxfam, come on.
No. No?
I'm a big fan and I have trouble sometimes remembering which songs are they doing? Uh... Action-filmed. No. No?
I'm a big fan and I have trouble sometimes remembering which songs are from which albums.
That's totally fair.
Apunk, I would have gotten.
Oh yes, of course.
Did we do a Yoram dancing with them?
We did, right?
But was it that time or was it when they came back?
Good question.
Let's see if I can find it on YouTube.
There are some recurring characters in the show.
This cast is starting to bring those.
There was a lovely Penelope.
There was the first Jean-Cajon that aired.
There was a Tim Calhoun, an update.
There was a really funny sketch called Nearly Identical Twins.
Do you remember this Jost Kenworth sketch?
It was an ABC Family sketch.
It was a show about,
it was called Double Trouble or something.
It was a long opening theme song that showed that
Amy and Kristen were two identical twins who would
trick people at school into thinking they were just one person,
and then we get a lot of work done.
And then the very last shot is like,
and then things got really tricky because
one of them gained a lot of weight.
And so it was Amy Adams as one twin and then Wig is
the other one who basically talk like this.
And what I remember about the sketch is that Amy would look at
the camera a lot and wink and there'd be like a gliss like bing.
And every time Wig winked at camera,
there was a fart sound effect.
I was going to guess that.
And here's a little BTS.
Can I BTS or is it just you guys?
Oh, you have to BTS.
You can. You run the show.
If you don't BTS, what are we even here for?
As long as you make it smooth like butter standing next to you.
So, Entertainment Weekly was writing a story about the show that week
because we had come back from Rider Strike and it was the political season.
And I remember the reporter was with me in the booth.
And, you know, the whole bent of the article was sort of
about SNL and politics.
And it was just really funny because we were kind of
talking in the booth while they were blocking that sketch
and the amount of, like, fart sound effects that were playing. Yes. It was really great. Can I rewind?
Please.
I have a question about Vampire Weekend.
Great.
Have they been on SNL for every album they've put out?
And if so, how many bands or artists
can claim that distinguished honor?
There are four albums, correct?
If it's four albums, I'm going to say I bet they have.
It's going to be five because they just put out a, I bet they have. Is it gonna be five?
Cause they just put out a new one
and they did come on for it, right?
Okay, hold on.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay.
Five albums.
Five albums from 08 to 24, five albums.
Were they on for the most recent one?
And is that the only one missing?
They were.
They were.
They were, yeah.
Oh right, with Maya.
Of course, I watched it.
So they've done SNL four times.
Ooh, they skipped one.
So they didn't do it for their 2019.
I bet it was for Father of the Bride
because of COVID, that's my guess.
You're right, they would have missed.
Father of the Bride was 2019 elm,
but I bet by the time they were doing it, it was...
Okay, okay.
Do we wanna get a voice note from Ezra
to fill in the gaps here?
Sure. Yeah.
Hey, what's up fellas?
Big fan of the podcast, great work everybody. Oh, that's nice.
In terms of Vampire Weekend's history
on Saturday Night Live, here's what I remember.
We were very excited to be invited on
for our first three albums,
and I remember going into our fourth album,
being informed by people who tend to know these things,
that it's very rare for a band to be invited on
four times in a row. I don't know if it's like a three is the magic number type thing that it's very rare for a band to be invited
on four times in a row. I don't know if it's like a three is the magic number type thing.
It's probably rare to be invited on three albums in a row. But I remember having very
tempered expectations for album number four, because that would make it a clean four album
sweep. We were invited back on the fifth album. So maybe we did need to take a break, but you know every time you're invited on SNL
You have to think of it as a as a gift and an honor not something to be expected
But all of this does beg the question
Maybe you guys know or maybe you can get somebody to crunch the numbers
How many artists have been on SNL five albums in a row? If so, you know, what's the story?
These the superstar best-selling artists of their generation.
Does it happen more often than maybe I think?
I have no idea, but I'd love to get some statistics on that.
Thank you.
That is the question.
So you had the same question I had.
Yeah.
Oh my God. He is so palpably angry at Lauren.
Oh, about the fourth album, yeah.
Yeah. I mean, you can feel the heat coming off him.
Yes.
He's stewing.
Like my ears are singed.
Just furious.
He finally had an outlet.
He's been waiting for that.
He's been waiting for the text.
Somebody finally asked him, and he was like, ready to go.
I mean, that's a rant.
We just heard a rant.
But then Ezra sort of did some digging, right?
Yeah, so after he sent this, he texted, this is just in some brief digging around. But then Ezra sort of did some digging, right?
Yeah. So after he sent this, he texted,
this is just in some brief digging around.
He saw that the Strokes have six album and played SNL four times.
And then he says, Arcade Fire is the only 21st century band I can
find that played SNL five times in a row.
So maybe a listener will have more details.
So what does Arcade Fire have that Vampire Weekend doesn't have what the Strokes doesn't have?
Yeah. Why?
Well, there's an obvious answer.
What?
Eleven band members.
No, from Canada.
Ah, the truth revealed.
You know Lorne Michaels, Order of Canada.
Yeah.
Going to throw a bone to his people.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Yeah.
I guess we have an answer for Ezra.
There was nothing you could do, Ezra.
It's so hard not to try and do a better than Ezra joke.
But you're doing good not doing it so far.
Yeah, and Norm kind of shut the book on it, I think.
He did.
He has the all-timer.
But still, like...
You know what?
Just if we can do it.
I mean, it's historic
and I feel like none of us will do justice.
Cut in right now the Norm better than Ezra joke.
And in music news,
number one on the college charts this summer was better than Ezra Joe. And in music news, number one on the college charts
this summer was better than Ezra.
And at number two, Ezra.
You know, are you sunburned or is-
I think I am. I think I got really sunburned.
Were you outside at the theme park all day,
just riding the rides, doing the do?
No, I was at, we had a move,
so we were doing a fight scene on a boat
with people getting pulled.
You're shooting Finland for Orlando, correct?
It's for upstate New York.
And by the way, where I wanted to shoot.
And when I was driving from Helsinki
to where we're shooting, I was like,
looks a lot like upstate New York.
So, you know, other side of the world.
Do you gotta wear sunblock?
Clearly, clearly. Oh, Adele the world. You gotta wear sunblock. I mean... Clearly. Clearly.
Oh, Adele's only done music twice on SNL.
Oh, so she's not in the club.
What do we call it, you know, like how you call something
like an EGOT or something?
Someone who has been musical guest for every album.
We gotta think of a good name for that.
Okay.
And every timer kind of thing?
Sound off in the comments!
Um, you know, that obviously makes me think
about five timers.
I had Steve Martin and Marty Short on my show
and it was very funny because they said to Kevin Miller,
who is a segment producer on our show as well,
hey, we just want to have a conversation with Seth.
We don't want it to just be all jokes.
And then they showed up and they're like,
we're just going to do a hundred jokes.
Do they not want you to do jokes?
No, I mean, they just, they are sort of old school guests
where they just want to do like set up, punch, you know,
here's a couple things Marty said.
He said, of all the anti-vaxxers, I'm his favorite host.
And he also said, what were you saying backstage
about how we're dangerously close to having our first female president?
Oh my fucking God.
And then I said, what's the hardest you've ever made the other one laugh? close to having our first female president. Oh my fucking God.
And then I said, what's the hardest you've ever made the other one laugh?
And Steve said, oh, I think it was the time Marty said, should we split the money 50-50?
God damn.
And then I said, what about you, Marty?
He goes, nothing comes to mind.
Back to back wins.
It hurts my feelings a little bit that they're still funnier
than everyone else.
They're still so funny.
Yeah, that's her thing.
I guess I will never be funny.
No, this is it.
He also, Steve had a story about, he goes,
I was having a safe put in and I said to the guy,
I go, hey, can you put a safe in my apartment?
But like, don't tell anybody.
I don't want people to know I'm getting a safe.
And the guy said, oh yeah, I won't tell anybody.
Jerry Seinfeld asked the same thing
before I put one in his lake house.
And he goes, and then I saw Jerry Seinfeld,
and I said, hey, how's that safe in your lake house?
And he goes, good, how's yours in your library?
No.
Seth, you can't tell that.
No, he told it on the show.
Oh.
It's public knowledge.
He's just recounting.
So do you think he made it up?
I mean, who knows?
Do you think that there's a lot of thieves
listening to this podcast?
Being like, oh, I know where I'm going.
Only one way to find out.
We're going to do a heist.
Ba-dang, ba-ka-bang, ba-dam, ba-dum-ba-ka-bam.
Safe crackers, safe crackers.
Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast
comes from Airbnb.
Some trips are better when you're in an Airbnb,
like when you're traveling with a group of friends,
when you're looking for an authentic or local experience.
Now I'm sitting here now across from my assistant Danny,
we're at the edit here again at Naked Gun, same thing.
Sometimes you don't want to be in the touristy area. You want to go somewhere and have an experience where you're with the real people.
Is that right Danny? Just shout from across the room.
Yeah, it's dead right.
Have you ever stayed in an Airbnb?
Every single night.
You stay in one every night?
Yeah.
Because you don't really live here.
Yeah, and the rates are that good.
You're being sarcastic.
Once again, that's my role.
I wanted authenticity from anyone else.
You have space for the family and a yard for your puppy.
Right?
You can even bring a puppy.
A lot of hotels won't let you do that, and you got some space.
And you know what?
Your kid's bedtime doesn't need to be your bedtime.
You have space to put that kid in the crib, maybe put on the baby monitor, shut a door,
and then you can go binge watch your favorite Looney Tunes or whatever you're into.
Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast
comes from Viori.
I'd like to take umbrage with something that Seth said
last week, I believe, where he was saying that
as Chaka, I didn't work out a lot.
I literally just got off the exercise bike
here at seven o'clock in the morning in Finland.
Okay, so eat that Seth.
And you know why? It's because Viori draws inspiration from the coastal California lifestyle,
which I like to bring to Finland.
They make products that stand the test of time and hope to inspire others all over the world
to live vibrant, healthy lives, which I am Seth.
You know what I love about it? Their Dream Kit fabric is super soft,
it's lightweight, it's a relaxed fit,
so I look great, feel great while I'm on the exercise bike.

I'm gonna go back to the exercise bag.
I wanna say another, just a nice thing,
which is I went and said hi to Marty and Steve.
And then I went and said hello to Juno Temple, who was also on the show.
And I'd never met her.
She'd done the show via Zoom during COVID, but I was talking to her.
And while I was talking to her, Steve Martin poked his head in and introduced himself to
Juno and just said, hey, I just want to say hello.
It's so fun that we're doing the show together.
And she's like, oh my God, thank you.
And then he walked out and it was this really great moment
where Truno looked at me like, holy shit.
Like, it just, you realize, like we sometimes get a little,
I don't know, desensitized to how fucking amazing it is
to know Steve Martin or to know Martin Short.
Sure.
And to watch somebody for the first time
get to say hello to Steve Martin was a very cool thing.
Yeah, you're talking about one of the most iconic people ever.
Yeah.
Well, most people, Seth, don't meet two to three to four
famous people every day for work, where they
come to their work every day.
I got a good system worked out.
Exactly.
I like that you glommed us into your thing.
You know how we all are jaded about meeting
super famous people because we can't get away from them because that's what we're paid for?
There's three or four parades through our office.
Most of our lives are spent around them.
And you know how, like, when you meet them, you keep them in three little rooms next to
each other?
Like a little bit of a zoo.
You kind of, like, open a door and there's one, and then you open another door and there's
another one.
Meanwhile, we're all three like, we haven't left the house in six years. ALL LAUGH There were a couple things.
I mentioned the recurring things,
but there was a really Jost-y sketch in the show.
Mm-hmm.
Jost and Klein, which was barbecue O.R.,
where Forte was a guy who had a barbecue restaurant
that was also a doctor's office.
And he was just like, crazy wheel talk.
And it was just an, crazy wheel talk.
And it was just an insane, good, late in the show sketch.
But there was a really nice moment
where they cut to Keenan and Hayter as customers.
He was like, just listen to these two satisfied customers.
And Keenan says, sure, there are places
where you can get better barbecue.
And Bill says, and sure, there are places
where you can get safer medical care.'" And then they just stopped talking.
It was a very nice move that I don't feel like I'd seen before.
Oh, here's, wait, I just remembered another thing.
Marty said, Steve told me only murders in the building is the
best thing he's written since Project 2025.
Oh, oh, oh.
So I was back at SNL, as you know.
Yeah.
And I was talking to the head of makeup, Louie.
Yeah.
And we were talking about nurse Nancy.
Ah.
And it came up, cause he very nicely had said
he had listened to the podcast and he was all,
there's something I never told you about nurse Nancy. And I was like, what is it?
And he said, the prosthetics we put on you
for Nurse Nancy were leftover Jiminy Glick.
Whoa.
And I was like, the fuck?
And he was like, yeah, dude, we just had one
and we didn't have anything else ready.
So I just slapped a Jiminy Glick prosthetic on you
for Nurse Nancy.
So what you were seeing in that short
was a Jiminy Glick prosthetic with a different wig.
Wow.
Oh, we gotta go back, I gotta go back and watch it now.
Yeah, I mean, it looked so good
that it kind of explains why they had
such an amazing suit. Yes.
Once he said it, I was like,
oh my God, I actually can kind of see it,
like the shape of the way the front of it is.
Yeah.
I mean, I think a lot of people would pay a fortune to,
I mean at an auction, for charity auction,
if you were like, you want to be Jimmy D. Glick for a day
and you just got it cause they didn't have anything.
That's right.
Spare parts.
It was like comedy fantasy camp to find that out.
Oh, can I just say something about the rundown
for Amy Adams?
All right, go ahead.
So this is my favorite kind of thing at SNL.
On the rundown, it says,
Note, Tukey Styles will be played back as a VT for air.
A very professional memo about Tukey Styles.
Tukey Styles was a Tucker Thompson.
Tukey Styles is a Tucker sketch that is so,
I watched it today and I feel like
it might be too hard to explain.
But the name is so perfect. Seeing it written out in a professional manner, like,
hey, just so you know, this thing called Tookie Styles that we all know what it is,
yeah, that's gonna be played as VT.
Tookie Styles had a dance called the Zookie Styles. He had a cable access show in New
York City from 78 to 82. He had guests on that were political guests, a lot of whom were involved in different worldwide crises.
And while he was teaching them the Zuki styles,
there was gunshots and security kept running out.
And this was like his best of DVD.
All right.
Yeah.
It is the most, I mean, the hyper-specificity.
You know what? Actually, I'm going to do it.
I bet we can get it.
We're now going to play a voice note from Brian Tucker
that we have just requested,
asking him for any memories he has about Tukey Styles.
Hey guys, it was fun to visit Tukey Styles again,
a sketch that almost nobody remembers,
but I'm glad you guys did.
As for the origin of that sketch,
I remember we wanted to do something about hip hop in
the late 70s and early 80s, that Curtis Blow and Sugarhill Gang era.
But one thing I also remember about that particular time is there were a lot of assassination
attempts.
Like, Reagan had been shot, the president of Egypt had been shot, the pope had been
shot.
So we thought we would combine early hip hop and assassination attempts into one rocket ship
of an SNL sketch.
And although I forgot about it, kind of,
I found it on the internet and I watched it again
and I laughed to myself,
which was more than the audience did.
My favorite line was when Kenan said,
those were good times.
Some of them good, some of them bad.
Most of them bad.
Which I really enjoyed.
So thanks for remembering Tukey,
because I'm not sure who else would.
And I'll hope to talk to you guys sometime.
That's a very, very nice succinct explanation of what Tukey was.
Thank you, Brian.
Feel like that was a little bit of a hit on some of the other voice notes, but yeah.
Oh, no. Well, yeah.
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
We can rank them at this point.
Yorm, specifically.
Yeah.
Is that voice note criterion? I don't know.
But it was nice and succinct.
Thank you, Brian Tucker.
Appreciate that.
All right, guys. So that was the third of four. Next week is Jonah.
And let me say, which is very exciting,
all four of these hosts in this run, first time hosts.
And I think that that was one of the other things
that was very exciting.
Tina, Elliot, Amy, Jonah.
Yeah, that's a really good run.
Really good run.
Did you guys know, I mean, we'll talk about it,
but my one question, how well did you know Jonah
before he showed up?
Definitely we had met him before it.
I want to say through Bill and stuff
because of Superbad.
Yes.
Yeah, I met him on the set of Knocked Up.
Remember when we were talking about Hot Rod
and I was like, I'd never even been on a movie set
and I went to Knocked Up just because it was filming
and it was a movie that I knew I could
because we had met Judd?
You know what?
We for sure knew him because we went to a Superbad
screening in New York
and our movies came out very close to each other, Hot Rod and Superbad.
Right, and they both did equally well.
After Knocked Up came out and Hot Rod had bombed, I texted Michael, Sarah, and Jonah,
and I was like, hey, I left the country for a while. How'd our movies do?
I remember sitting in that screening and I mean,
you can imagine it's super bad.
So it was destroying.
And we had just been in so many screenings of Hot Rod
where it would play in our minds pretty well.
Like it would get all the laughs
where it's supposed to get laughs,
but there's just fewer laughs
or it's just less aggressive the whole way through.
And super bad was just, and I was like,
oh, this is what
it could feel like in a theater full of people.
There's a difference.
And like people knew Freaks and Geeks and were like cheering for the cast. And I was
just learning about a lot of those people. And I was like, oh, this is a thing that already
exists and is about to be on fire.
Yeah, we definitely were catching up. But yeah, and then I had met Jonah on the set
of Knocked Up. And he was there, I think I had met Jonah on the set of Knocked Up,
and he was there, I think I talked about this on the Hot Rod app,
but he was there and he wasn't even filming that day because he was so young.
He was just so excited to be allowed on a movie set.
So he would just show up on days he wasn't filming just to pitch jokes.
So I definitely met him in Video Village.
Did you go, Keev, to feel like what it was to be in a movie or you just went?
Yeah. It was a few months before we were going to shoot Hot Rod, and I it was to be in a movie or no? Or you just went? Yeah, yeah. It was like a few months before
we were going to shoot Hot Rod and I just went to be like,
can I come to your movie set and just sit there
and just see a movie set?
Yeah, by the way, I think even before that,
maybe even before we got SNL,
I read a few rogue parts at a table read.
What was the movie Jonah did with Justin Long?
Accepted.
Yes! I was at the table read for accepted.
That's cool.
And maybe because our friend, Lauren Gray,
was doing the casting, that's a wild guess.
That's a pretty good guess.
Yeah, were you doing like bit parts?
I was just reading a few rogue parts, yeah,
because I did stand up and whoever asked me to come do it,
I'm pretty sure it was Lauren, was like,
oh, they need someone funny to just read a few parts.
Anyway, that was the first time I think I ever saw Jonah. And I remember being like, this kid is fucking killing.
Like every time he was like going off script
and doofing around and like had the room.
And I was like, oh yeah, he's real.
There you go.
Well, I'm very excited to talk about his episode
when we join each other next week.
Thanks for coming in all the way from Finland, buddy.
No problem. This is lovely to see you guys.
Congrats on starting your movie.
I hope the rest of your week goes well.
Thank you.
I'm going to go eat food now.
Jorm, let me sit on Undies.
Actually, I got Long Johns on, so I didn't really
take off my pants.
I took off my pants to reveal other pants.
That's why.
I realize now there's a lot of other people on this Zoom,
and I shouldn't have asked, but I'm
glad they were Long Johns now. Yeah. It's fine. You know me. Yeah a lot of other people on this Zoom and I shouldn't have asked, but I'm glad they were Long John's now.
Yeah.
It's fine, you know me.
Yeah, but they didn't ask for that.
That's true.
That's true.
Do we have HR on this podcast?
Yes, for sure.
I mean, maybe we should, based on my behavior.
I'm taking full credit, I'm taking the hit.
You were just being a good friend.
Yeah.
Yoram, talk a little more.
The people miss you, bud.
I love you guys.
I feel like this has become a two-person podcast
that I'm not enjoying.
Seth, sometimes you got to let someone else take the wheel.
I'm not saying it's Jesus.
Yeah, it's not all about you, Seth.
All right.
I left it open-ended.
Could be any deity.
All right.
Keith.
Yeah, what's up, man?
Just trying to end this.
Just let him be.
I think Andy's lonely. He is lonely!
I got hella friends.
Up in this living room.
Alright, I love you guys.

No.
You haven't opened the emails yet.
Here's a question emailed from somebody
who goes by Declan.
Who gets to read this inbox?
Do y'all have someone that does it for you
and relays the good ones to you?
If so, how can you be sure the best ones reach you?
Huge fan.
Thanks, Declan.
Fair question.
That's a great emailed question about does the system work?
Just one of the process of the questions.
Declan, I think we made it pretty clear.
You can't trust the system.
That's proof.
Oh, shit.
It's really funny that, I mean, I don't know.
I might speak to a lack of interest about the premise
of our actual podcast that the Q&A is about.
Like, so who reads these?
Because it seems like there's a disconnect.
Do you print them out, or do you just text a PDF?
And is it going to make its way to you?
Here's a question for you, Seth.
Yeah?
I love the Spider-Man comic you wrote with Bill Hader.
Oh, thank you.
I was wondering if you two had considered
writing more comic books in the future.
That's from George.
We haven't.
I should just say we wrote that during the writer George. We haven't, uh, we, oh, I should just say,
we wrote that during the writer's strike.
We had a lot of free time.
And then, um, you know, life got in the way.
You know how Andy always says, life got in the way?
Oh, all that's, that's my main thing I say.
They did make documentary Now together.
We did. You know what? We did, we did bigger things.
We moved on from comic books and we made, um...
Whoa, don't talk about comics like that.
Uh, comic books are the biggest thing in the planet. I don't know if you've noticed, Seth.
Yeah.
Look, you don't have to tell me about comics a bit.
All right, I'm gonna try this again.
Goodbye, everybody.
Not everybody has three little rooms
with celebrities in them.
Oh, Seth's done, guys.
Okay, bye everybody.
Why though?
Why?
He probably has three trapped celebrities
in his celebrity zoo.
I do, I have in his celebrity zoo. I do.
I have a little celebrity zoo.
I feel like now it's incumbent on one of you guys to end.
All right.
Seth, don't go.
You guys, I really haven't eaten dinner.
I love you guys so much, but let's please fucking end this.
All right.
Love you.
Peace out.
Love you.
Did everyone else leave?
I stayed. I stayed in Did everyone else leave? I stayed.
I stayed in case someone else also stayed.
Just end it, Andy. You have to do it.
Okay, we're all gonna hang up on the count of three.
Love you guys.
Oh my God.
One, two, three.
All right, I'm stopping.
Did everyone stop?
