Andy Samberg and Cast Secretly Trolled Interviewers While Promoting ‘Popstar’

Andy Samberg stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. And while he was being interviewed, Samberg revealed that he and his fellow cast members Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer competed by seeing how they could mention Jimmy Fallon’s name in several interviews and press junkets without anyone noticing.

Samberg brought a supercut of some of the interviews in which the cast can be seen saying things like, “Jimmy Fallon always says wavelengths are like Earth — everybody’s on the same one.” Another funny one was, “I believe it was Jimmy Fallon who said, ‘Never look a gift whale in the mouth.’”

Samberg said the challenge of sliding Fallon’s name into interviews was one of the only ways to deal with the monotonous routine of doing scores of interviews. It was only a bonus that Fallon really seemed to appreciate the kind gesture.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
