Saturday Night Live @ The Comedy Awards

First and foremost, many congratulations to Kristen Wiig who was named Best Comedy Actress - TV at the inaugural Comedy Awards last night. She beat out a formidable line-up of comedy superstarlets including Tina Fey, Betty White, Jane Lynch and Jane Krakowski to take the top honour. Elsewhere, Saturday Night Live lost out in Best Sketch/Alternative Comedy Series to Children's Hospital and in Best Comedy Directing - TV to Modern Family. SNL still managed to harbour a significant presence at the show, however, with Bill Hader presenting an award and The Lonely Island teaming up with Akon to perform I Just Had Sex. Pictures from the event are included after the jump.

NY Times Article on The Lonely Island

The New York Times has a brief article on Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, otherwise known as The Lonely Island, which can be viewed here. The article focuses on how The Lonely Island have carried on the tradition of the novelty song into the twentieth century, successfully incorporating absurd comedy and hip-hop influences into insanely catchy songs and in turn, creating viral video sensations.

Hollywood Hotel's Very SNL Greeting | NY Times

From NY Times -

How many businesses can boast that their holiday video greeting card was made by a “Saturday Night Live” threesome?

In September, the boutique Sunset Tower Hotel, an entertainment industry hangout in West Hollywood, Calif., already had holiday card plans on its mind to send to its list of 5,000 customers. Trying to come up with something unique, the hotel’s owner, Jeff Klein, decided to ask Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone if they would make a video for him.

The three have been writing and performing sketches together since junior high but now work for “S.N.L.” They have been behind now-classic viral videos like “Lazy Sunday” and “Motherlover.” The three New York comedians, who use the hotel as their California home base, agreed.

The one-minute video is reminiscent of their hit 2008 short, “Andy Popping Into Frame,” in which Mr. Samberg suddenly appears in mundane footage shot on the streets of Manhattan. Instead of starring Mr. Samberg, the Sunset Tower video features Dimitri Dimitrov, Mr. Klein’s maître d’hôtel.

Mr. Klein declined to say if he had paid the entertainers to make the video, but added that “we always take great care of those boys when they stay with us.”

Celebuzz Interview with Lonely Island

You know you've made it when Perez Hilton blogs about you. The self-proclaimed Queen of All Media ran this picture of Andy Samberg & Akiva Schaffer on his website the other day:



Accompanying the picture was this blurb:

Yesterday afternoon the SNL cutie patootie Andy Samberg was spotted shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Samberg, and his equally dorky friend, walked through the mall though didn't seem to mind the paparazzi being in their face.

Nerds can be attention whores too!

Nice!
