Live with Regis and Kelly – Andy Samberg interview (5/3/11)

Andy Samberg - Turtleneck And Chain *Interview (May 3/11)

It definitely looks like Andy has lost some weight and gone back to his lean, mean former self. Do you like it?

Andy talks basketball, the White House correspondence dinner, and Turtleneck & Chain.

So logically, the reason why they release the clean versions is because 13 year olds and under like their music, and they don't want to ruin lives. Still, I wonder if those kids watch the clean versions (I imagine they wouldn't unless their parents make them).

Anybody here 13 or younger? Do you watch (or listen to) the clean versions? Only when your parents are around?

Thanks to Freya for the scoop!

Andy Samberg's MTV Hosting Tips for Jason Sudeikis

Andy Samberg Has MTV Movie Awards Hosting Tips For Jason Sudeikis

Thanks to Freya and Becky for the scoop!

Andy Samberg at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards:



Andy Samberg slayed the crowd as host of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. He shared a naked limo ride with Justin Timberlake, pronounced himself "the best intro-er of people intro-ing things" and lampooned action movies in a hilarious video in which he crooned, ''Cool guys don't look at explosions. They blow things up and then walk away.''



The "Saturday Night Live" star, in other words, knows a thing or two about hosting the wackiest movie awards show on the planet. And thus, he's got some sage advice for "SNL" castmate Jason Sudeikis, who's taking on emcee duties for this year's show, airing live on June 5 — not that he thinks Sudeikis needs much help.

"What advice can you give to a guy that has it all?" Samberg said when we caught up with him and his Lonely Island pals while they were promoting their upcoming comedy album, Turtleneck & Chain.

"Be yourself, grab 'em by the scruff of the neck and don't let go," he went on to advise Sudeikis. "Wear a nice suit. Hydrate. Crunches. Make sure 'Twilight' wins everything so the crowd is lively. Rig the results!"

Hmmm, that's one way of doing it. Another way would be to follow the helpful tips of Aziz Ansari, who hosted the Movie Awards last year. "It's so much work, so definitely have a lot of uppers on hand, like just drugs that'll get you fired up," he joked to us recently. "PCP is good to stay up all night, get all the work done. It's a cool thing, though; it's back in vogue. It's like Twitter, PCP. It's like trendy things: Twitter, PCP, Jonas Brothers."

The 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET.

=====================

Thanks again to Freya and Becky for the scoop!

I'm secretly hoping that they invite Andy back to host again, but I wish Jason the best (and it's cool that Andy's friends are getting the opportunity to host). Jason would definitely make a funny and more traditional wisecracking host than Andy would.

I'm curious about Jason, though. His last opportunity to break out (Hall Pass with Owen Wilson) didn't do so well. Now he's paired opposite Jason Bateman (Arrested Development, Couples Retreat, Hancock) and Charlie Day (Always Sunny in Philadelphia), with Jeniffer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey, and Donald Sutherland supporting. Can he break out, or will his opportunities run out (like Will Forte)? Murdering bosses doesn't seem like a clear win, but if it's done right it will (and it's from the director of Four Christmases, so I have hope).

Hopefully it will lead to some more supporting roles at the very least (but I'm hoping this will help the careers of both Jasons). If nothing else maybe people will see it just for the supporting roles.

Anyway, what do you think of Andy's interview here with the dudes? Any thoughts on that?

Enjoy!

The videos of the Dudes in Berkeley

First scoop comes from George:



The Lonely Island came to AMOEBA records in Berkeley for some Q&A from fans.

And here's video #2 from Rayanna:



The creators of this second vid (Rayanna) currently plan to delete this when they upload a longer version with all their footage. Rayanna, could you let us know when you upload the full vid?

Thanks to Anony for the scoop (and Rayanna for the comment)!

Anony said, "I think the reason they did it yesterday at Amoeba Records had somehting to do with the fact that it was Record Store Day yesterday."

Andy Samberg and TLI's hilarious Jimmy Fallon interview & "We're Back"

So Andy Samberg and the dudes sit down with Jimmy Fallon and talk it out.

Elton John digital short tonight! However, from the way Andy announced it, methinks it is not a musical digital short. But we'll see!



Andy Samberg coins the term "I Biebered" by referring to winking. It's also funny that of the four of them, Jimmy was the one to crack, "Pulling a Bieber is something totally different." Hilarious!

The Lonely Island boys show off their rejected album covers and reveal the final photo: “Turtleneck & Chain,” which Jorma explains was what they were wearing when they met in 7th grade. My favorite album cover was Andy's: 3 Morks. That would have been awesome! Keep it Simple was also pretty funny (we showed that one here already). Which was your favorite?

I suspect they weren't really rejected. They just brainstormed a lot of crazy ideas and turned all the funny ones into album covers.

I'm thinking that they might actually show more digital shorts on Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy has time to kill every night, and they can't always get their digital shorts in on SNL (this week it would be because this one is pure shock value and they have wanted to do one with Elton John instead). So maybe they'll show more shorts on Jimmy Fallon when they don't fit on SNL for whatever reason.

This is good for us fans, because that means more digital shorts from the dudes!

Watch the world premiere of The Lonely Island “We’re Back” music video:



Um, yeah, The Lonely Island has grown up? A total shock song. They announce that Akiva has a baby. Is it true? Probably, because the rumors are going around and they just spoke of it, but I'm not 100% certain.

I'm a little disappointed with this song, because I don't find these shock songs funny (reminds me of Roy Rules, Sloths, Tucker's Song, and Giraffes). What do you think?

And the reality is that half this song is bleeped. You can find the uncensored version on their YouTube channel.

All well, at least their interview was hilarious.

Enjoy!

Andy & TLI - Red carpet interview at the Comedy Awards

It's great to see Andy and TLI, but these blood suckers are asking for comments on celebrity gossip, not on THEM!!!

I hear a woman rushing TLI away from the interviewers, but I didn't see her at all. Did you?

This is our first video interview of 2011!



Thanks for the scoop go out to Victoria!

Andy jokes that now that Justin Timberlake is single again, Andy wants to go out with JT!

Would you go see TLI in concert if they went on a tour?

Enjoy!
