Everyone's a Critic

This week The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers talk about the digital short, Everyone’s a Critic, and whether or not they think it deserves a spot in the Criterion Collection. Plus, they talk about memorable sketches including Kissing Family, No No No, and Songwriter’s Showcase with Paul Rudd, a hilarious weekend update with Justin Timberlake, and so much more!

Join Seth Meyers as he sits down with fellow SNL alum and comedy-music sensations The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) to discuss their wildly popular and groundbreaking series of SNL Digital Shorts that aired on Saturday Night Live beginning in 2005. Episode by episode they'll discuss how each short was created, what the response to it was at the time, and what impact, if any, it still has today. Aided by Seth, the guys will relive their time at SNL and reminisce on the nearly 50-year-old show from a time when putting short comedy sketches on the internet was so novel that they maybe even helped launch YouTube to do it. Along the way they'll talk all things SNL from guests, fellow cast members, and favorite live sketches including many that never aired.
