-Our first guest tonight is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning
comedian you know from his work on "Saturday Night Live,"
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Palm Springs,"
and is one third of The Lonely Island.
All six episodes of his show "Baking It"
will be available to stream December 2nd on Peacock.
Let's take a look.
-I could not be left alone with this cake.
[ Laughter ] -No, no. No.
-Because I know what I do with king cakes at home
during Mardi Gras carnival. -We don't.
[ Laughter ]
-I mean, I can't stop eating it.
-Oh. Right, right, right.
-Whoa, what -- what were you thinking?
-I -- -What?
-Do you -- -Huh?
-He was worried that the cake was going to get
too handsy with you. [ Laughter ]
-[ Laughs ]
Please welcome back to the show the best in the biz,
our very good friend, Andy Samberg!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yes. -Hello!
-What's up, dude? Can you hear me?
-Now, so, you also play
all the grandmothers in that clip, yes?
-Yeah. It's a "Klumps." I "Klumpsed" it.
[ Laughter ]
-So, "Baking It" is very much in line --
maybe even a spinoff you would call it?
I know you love the term "spinoff" --
of Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler's "Making It."
-Yes, it is an extension of the "Making It" world.
Amy is the producer of the show.
-How did she get you to do it?
-Well, it was a funny story. She called me.
And I was like, "Hey, Amy, how's it doing?"
And she was like, "Hey! Hey!
You're gonna do a show! A baking show!"
And I was like, "Oh, okay. I'm sorry."
And she was like, "Shut up, I made you! I made you!"
And I was like, "Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it."
You know how Amy is. -Yeah.
I mean, I would say if she has a catch phrase, it's "I made you."
-"I made you."
[ Laughter ]
-You -- So, the first episode is Hanukkah themed.
Was that your idea? -No.
It was actually the show's idea and, you know, they came to me.
I think it was maybe Amy's way of smoothing things over with me
for yelling at me. -Yeah. Yeah.
-But it was interesting, because she was like,
"Hey, one of the first bakes
we're gonna have in the competition
is gonna be Hanukkah themed."
And I remember my response. I said, "Your funeral."
[ Laughter ]
You know?
So I mean, I immediately assumed
everyone was just going to make
cakes in the shape of the socks they were given for Hanukkah.
-Right. [ Laughs ]
Was that a big Hanukkah gift for you? Socks?
-Oh, yeah. I'd be like, "Socks?"
And they'd be like, "No, but these are special
because they're fleece socks." [ Laughter ]
-Were you excited as a young man
when you got fleece socks? -I was stoked.
I was like, "Now I have something to wear
with my Tevas." -Right.
-And you know what? I have to say, Seth.
-Uh-huh? -I wore Tevas and fleece socks
often in high school and a little in college...
and a little out of college... -[ Chuckles ]
-...and I got reamed for it, you know?
I got bagged on, dunked on, the gamut.
Then a couple years ago, all of a sudden
it's like ironically cool to wear fleece socks with Tevas.
I see my man Jonah strolling down the promenade
being called a fashion icon for it.
[ Laughter ] I don't know.
I just feel like either I'm old...
or I'm super old.
-[ Laughs ]
-Now, it was lovely the to see you with all those grannies.
Four grannies. Are the four grannies always the judges?
-They are, yeah.
It's one of the main things I love about the show.
It's very warm and cozy.
The grannies are the judges.
Even when they're being critical,
they're very supportive.
It's for the holidays.
It's a nice cozy, you know, warm blanket of a show
and it's really like family show, you know.
And it's really like a family show, you know?
-Yeah, and it's nice. It's on Peacock,
-It's nice. It's a family show, but it's on Peacock.
Which I believe the title of the streamer, Peacock,
is actually TV-MA.
-How so?
-Well, just, you know, 'cause the word peacock.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, but it's -- it's the bird.
-Like the bird?
-No.
-Not the bird?
Not the bird? -No.
[ Laughter ]
Do you think they should have chosen
something else other than Peacock?
-I mean, I heard it was between that and Comcast Nards.
[ Laughter ]
-They were going to call it Comcast Nards?
-Yeah, but I mean, it was keeping in the tradition.
'Cause you probably don't know this, but NBC actually stands
for Nards... -[ Laughs ]
-...Boobs...
and Crack, but not the drug.
Butt crack.
-I feel like you maybe forgot halfway through
what all those things...
You said it real slow like you were remembering.
-Yeah, Seth, it's hard to tell.
Am I killing in the studio?
-[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Is the timing right?
-I think -- I have one issue. I feel like you made that up.
And can I tell you why I think you made that up?
-Please do. -You're the only human being
I've met in the last 20 years who uses "nards."
-Right. Right.
-[ Laughs ]
-That's fair.
-Do you think nards is going to come back
like fleece socks and Tevas?
-With Tevas? [ Laughter ]
-Nards is gonna be like what cool kids call
a guy cool enough to wear fleece socks and Tevas.
They'll be like, "That guy's the nards."
-It's like owning trash culture, you know?
It's like, "Nards, but it's sexy now."
You're just like, "No." Well, maybe. I don't know.
As I mentioned, I'm old. Is it killing?
Are we killing in the studio?
-I've got a lot more to ask you.
We'll be right back with more Andy Samberg after this.
