About this listen

 Join Seth Meyers as he sits down with fellow SNL alum and comedy-music sensations The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) to discuss their wildly popular and groundbreaking series of SNL Digital Shorts that aired on Saturday Night Live beginning in 2005. Episode by episode they'll discuss how each short was created, what the response to it was at the time, and what impact, if any, it still has today. Aided by Seth, the guys will relive their time at SNL and reminisce on the nearly 50-year-old show from a time when putting short comedy sketches on the internet was so novel that they maybe even helped launch YouTube to do it. Along the way they'll talk all things SNL from guests, fellow cast members, and favorite live sketches including many that never aired.2024 Art Music

    Golden Girls Theme
    Jan 13 2026
    This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the guys are back from the holidays and discussing a short they describe as “okay.” It’s Golden Girls’ Theme from Season 35, Episode 21 on May 8, 2010 featuring the entire cast of SNL (plus some guests and definitely not Seth) and host, Betty White. Before they get into that though, they catch up, respond to some comments and thoughts from over the break, and generally waste time to avoid talking about this short. But they’re happy to be back podcasting!
