you know this interview was from a long long time ago when no one cheered when he said the lonely island

The quality of the video is so good that it seemed like it was recent, not 14 years ago.

[@normanweiss3500]

Nine months before this video was filmed, Late Night started filming in HD: czcams.com/video/8C2qIvjvkeo/video.html

[@Seabass_Fiction]

i think recordings have always been good, since film. it's the preservation of recordings that's the problem. tapes wear out and compression/upscaling of all digital footage makes it look terrible when you look back

[@rolmodel12.]

Also, these two fellas have aged pretty well, which helps. Footage of people that have not, makes for more of a stark contrast.

[@sebastianantoniocortesval4703]

Holy fvck I thought this was recent

[@nickhardy9046]

Connan says in a remote before that he knows his cameras. He's all about the good equipment

[@shammaalblooshi4827]

This doesn’t look like it’s been filmed 14 years ago whatsoever

Right? And because the quality is so good it looks like they filmed a Talkshow on a strange vintage set

[@ztoxtube]

I think the best thing about Samberg is that he puts an up-to-date style on a sense of humor that feels like it's from the classic 70s-80s era. It's a great formula.

[@Anasyub]

andy is so cute like hes not shy but he def was a bit nervous BUT he hid it so well by just being hilarious, mans meant to be a comedian

[@maiconsilva4205]

He was so awkward and shy. It's quite inspiring actually

[@therebex23]

Inspiring you to be more awkward and shy? Those are the personality traits that literally require inspiration to be...unless you were a baby that charmed the doctor the birthed you with your charisma, showed your parents how you prefer your diaper to be put on, and provided networking opportunities to your peers in the hospital nursery.

[@castlerogers7217]

@@RobertPaceII that's so true it all started when snl allowed them to feature some lonely island stuff on the show, at least I think so

[@Nope2479]

Back when they hired quality players

[@RobertPaceII]

@@castlerogers7217 Certainly. Lonely Island began getting a lot of buzz on the digital shorts segment of SNL. The first bit they that really took them to the next level was the "I'm on a boat" music video featuring T-Pain. That hit on the show big time when they featured it and it was big virally also. That was huge for Samberg because it was hard for him to stick with the cast he was working with because there was a lot of comedic talent on the cast during those years and Samberg was kind of a 3rd whirl up to that point in the scope of the cast those years. Up to when the Lonely Island Samberg's most noteworthy sketch of note was the "Lazy Sunday" video he produced with Chris Parnell. Lazy Sunday was actually the first Lonely Island production featured on SNL and that was originally done in 2006 as one of the first digital short bits on SNL and actually premiered right around the time Samberg did this interview with Conan. "Lazy Sunday" was a viral hit but for some reason they didn't follow up right away after Lazy Sunday. Samberg's legacy on SNL is through Lonely Island.
