-Our first guest is
a Golden Globe winner
for his work on the
very popular series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
The eighth, and final, season
airs Thursdays at 8:00 pm, right here on NBC.
Here is Andy Samberg! Andy!
[ Cheering and applause ] [ "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" theme sting plays ]
Wow. That's what I'm talking about.
[ Laughing, clapping ]
Yeah. Feels like a long time,
but you were just here before the commercial break.
[ Laughter ]
You look good, bud. -Fond memories, for sure, yeah.
How are ya? -We had some great memories.
"Purple Rain," we should've got.
Hey, happy belated birthday.
[ Cheering and applause ] -Thank you.
Appreciate that.
Did you do anything to celebrate or anything special?
-Well, I'm doing a little bit of work,
but I had a fun time.
I celebrated on the weekend with my family.
-Aw.
I saw you have a little girl.
-Yeah, my daughter's four -Wow.
and she was really excited for my birthday.
She told me, first thing on my birthday, you know, like,
"Do you think you would want donuts for your birthday?"
[ Laughter ]
And I was like, "Do you want donuts
[ Laughter ] for my birthday?"
-That's where we're going. -She was like, "I mean,
if you got donuts and there was a unicorn donut,
would you want that?
[ Laughter ]
-Of course I want that. -So, yeah.
I got her a unicorn donut for my birthday.
[ Laughter ] -Four years old.
What do you play for music around the house
for a four-year-old?
-Mostly just like Too Short, N.W.A.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, kids love, yeah.
New stuff, yeah.
Throw in some Megan Thee Stallion.
[ Laughter ] Like, you know, kid stuff.
Yeah, kid stuff. Cardi B. Yeah, of course, kid stuff.
-Lot of that. Lot of Korn.
[ Laughter ]
Do you think about that when you're playing songs, now,
for your daughter and you're like,
"That's not the best song for you to be liking"?
-I mean, it's either that or KIDZ BOP, right?
[ Laughter ] -That's true. I don't mind a good KIDZ BOP.
-I want to get just instrumentals of everything
and then like see what she freestyles over.
[ Laughter ]
-Start 'em young.
-I grew up -- I have older sisters
and I would listen to all their music.
I feel like I was like seven or eight when I was like
listening to Eazy E's first album.
[ Laughter ] And I think about that now
and I'm like, "Goddamn!" -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
"I probably shouldn't have heard that!"
But, you know, it worked out fine.
And they're good beats.
-I remember having that cassette and like hiding it
like under my bed or something.
I didn't want like -- I was like,
"Oh, this is the filthiest thing I've ever heard in my life."
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, my parents,
we would play it in the car and my parents would be like,
"I don't know," but they didn't make us stop.
[ Laughter ]
-That's not true at all.
-Well, my dad didn't make us stop.
My mom would not have let it happen.
-Yeah.
You got a bunch of things going on,
but I want to talk to you about you and John Mulaney
are going to be the new voices of Chip 'n Dale
[ Cheering and applause ] in the new "Chip 'n Dale" movie.
-Yeah.
-We love Mulaney.
How cool is that?
Now, voicing Dale, pressure's on.
Do want to give us a taste, maybe a debut,
of what the Dale voice will be like?
-Yeah, well, it's a long legacy, obviously,
with the "Rescue Rangers"
and my buddy Akiva was directing,
that's how it all sort of got started.
-Okay. -I feel like
I was a little let down because, when he asked me to do it,
I was like, "Oh, I'm going to like work
on my chipmunk voice," you know?
So I was like at home like --
[ Squeakily ] Blah blah blah blah.
[ Laughter ] -[ Clapping ]
Yeah! That's fantastic!
[ Applause ] That is great!
-But, then I started doing that and he's like, "No!
Just do your voice. What are you doing?"
[ Laughter ]
-So you're just doing you?
-Yeah, it's an interesting take. [ Laughter ]
It's almost like a Roger Rabbit sitch,
the new "Rescue Rangers."
-Oh! -It's like two live
in the real world with people.
And so we're we're Chip 'n Dale like the cartoon actors.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah. Dude, that's fantastic!
-It's going to be really fun.
Yeah. -That's legendary, dude.
Congrats on that. That's super fun.
-Thank you.
-I want to talk to you about "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
This is the eighth and final season.
Congrats on the long run, by the way.
[ Cheering and applause ] -Thank you.
-That's legit. -Thanks.
It's legit. It's on Thursdays at 8:00 here at NBC.
Did it get emotional, those last couple episodes?
-Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know,
eight years of doing the same job,
you get really attached to the people,
you feel like family and --
You know, it was basically like a week-long
mental and emotional breakdown,
the last week, I would say. -Yeah.
-♪ Arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest ♪
♪ Arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest ♪
[ Laughter ]
-Did you --
♪♪ Did you hear that as well?
[ Laughter ]
-Uh, are we in the Matrix?
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Hey, would you know if I'm having a heart attack?
[ Laughter ]
-That was a digital heart attack.
[ Laughter ]
-One of us is a robot.
♪ Arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest ♪
[ Laughter ]
Like Max Headroom.
-♪ Cardiac arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest ♪
[ Laughter ] ♪ Cardiac arrest, arrest ♪
Alright. Wow, wow, wow. -P-P-P-P-Pepsi.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Dude, classic "Max Headroom" ref.
-Classic Headroom!
-That's so classic Headroom, dude. I got it.
-Ironically, didn't have a lot of headroom in his shot.
[ Laughter ] It was a pretty tight frame.
-Yeah, it wasn't the maximum, at least.
It was probably the minimum.
[ Laughter ] It's like Min Headroom.
-Min Headroom! That was the prequel.
[ Laughter ] -That's correct.
I want to tell everyone to tune in
and watch "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" for this last season.
And I want to congratulate you again.
Not only is it super funny, but I also thought it was
such a positive show as well.
-Thanks. -It always put me in a great mood.
The whole cast, top to bottom, everyone was great.
So congrats on that, buddy. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Andy Samberg in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
Take a look.
-I'm initiating Operation Trident.
-Cool, just like the sugarless gum,
because we're going to chew them up.
-No, like the famed weapon of the sea,
forged by the Cyclops for Poseidon himself.
The trident has three prongs, like my approach.
-Not to interrupt, but Aquaman's trident has five prongs.
-That's absurd.
The prefix tri- means "three."
What this Aquatic Man carries is better termed a pentadactyl.
-No, it's a trident. They call it that
in the original theatrical release and the Snyder cut,
so you're 100% wrong and everyone's laughing at you.
[ Laughter, cheering, and applause ]
Everyone's laughing at you.
I don't know. Yeah.
-Snyder cut. -Congrats on the success of that.
Also, this is exciting -- I heard that you're
already working on a brand-new show.
You're actually on one of the sets now.
Can you tell us about the new show?
-I can, yes.
It's a cooking competition show called "Baking It,"
produced by our friend Amy Poehler,
and I'm cohosting with Maya Rudolph.
[ Cheering and applause ] -Are you kidding me?! Come on!
♪♪ Oh, my gosh!
I love you guys!
Holy moly!
Stay safe, you guys.
I love it. Andy Samberg,
Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph.
[ Cheering and applause ] -[ Laughing ]
