About The Lonely Island
Formed by Saturday Night Live alumni Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone, The Lonely Island helped pioneer the digital age of musical comedy.
∙ Their 2005 SNL Digital Short “Lazy Sunday” was one of the first online videos of any kind to go viral, followed by the Emmy-winning smash “Dick In a Box,” which featured Justin Timberlake.
∙ The double-Platinum, Grammy-nominated “I’m On a Boat,” featuring T-Pain, helped make 2009’s Incredibad one of their four releases to top Billboard’s Comedy Albums chart.
∙ Rapper Kendrick Lamar and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine appeared on “Yolo”—one of four No. 1 hits from The Wack Album and one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2013.
∙ Samberg has portrayed prank-loving Detective Jake Peralta on the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine since 2013, and he’s earned a Best Actor Golden Globe Award for his work.
∙ The Lonely Island cowrote and sang on Tegan and Sara’s “Everything is AWESOME!!!,” the Oscar-nominated theme for 2014’s The Lego Movie.
∙ As producers, they’ve worked on such critically acclaimed projects as the coming-of-age comedy series PEN15 and the 2020 indie film Palm Springs, which also starred Samberg.
