Seth Meyers Once Vomited from Laughing So Hard About 'This' Lonely Island Song
Seth Meyers says he once laughed so hard from a Lonely Island song that he threw up
The late-night host revealed this anecdote during the May 20 episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The song in question? "Mona Lisa," the diss track dedicated to the classic Renaissance paintingSeth Meyers thought this Lonely Island song was sick.
During the May 20 episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the talk show host chatted with The Lonely Island members Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer (Jorma Taccone was not present) about the satirical song "Mona Lisa" that was cut from the 2016 movie Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.
At the start of the episode, Meyers, 51, mentioned how bummed he was to miss out on Dennis Franz appearing on the previous podcast episode to chat about NYPD Blue.
"I kinda couldn't believe you guys talked about Dennis Franz for that long and didn't mention that the Dennis Franz line is the hardest I've ever laughed at a Lonely Island [song]," Meyers said of "Mona Lisa," adding that he thinks about the song "all the time."
"I'm really happy sometimes because the run of lyrics that starts, 'I'm an American,' is maybe my favorite series of lines," he continued.

"I'm an American man/this is my native land/Where no one lies about paintings/But that's not the case in France/Where the naked ladies dance/And they look like Dennis Franz," Samberg's Conner4Real sings in the diss track dedicated to the Leonardo da Vinci painting.
"You, I think, more than anyone I know like that song," Samberg, 46, said, "And people like that song but you like it — it maybe is your favorite of our songs."
The late-night host also noted that his admiration of the song also ties into the first time he heard it with then-Saturday Night Live producer Mike Shoemaker.
"The lore about 'Mona Lisa' is that you sent it to Shoemaker and I. We were in my office, and we laughed so hard that I threw up and he farted," Meyers said. "I literally started choking and threw up into my trash can, and he farted."
Though Meyers' favorite Lonely Island track didn't make it to the movie itself, it is part of the soundtrack.
The Lonely Island came to be during Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone's tenure on Saturday Night Live starting in 2005.
The Grammy-nominated group is known for hits including "Motherlover," "Dick in a Box," "Lazy Sunday," "I'm on a Boat," "Like a Boss" and "I Just Had Sex."

They won an Emmy Award in 2007 for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for their video "Dick in a Box." Lady Gaga and Samberg sang a soulful rendition of the song during the SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert special at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in February.

Pinterest wooed Gen Zers. Will AI pins drive them away?
Loving Pinterest has long been a part of my secretly middle-aged personality. I have 16.1k pins to my name to prove it. I started my account in middle school eight years ago, and Pinterest has been a dear companion to me ever since. I used to log on every day to tuck away precious ideas and artworks into my boards, which I could take out to admire every time I needed advice, a joke, or a drawing lesson. I am not alone in this. Pinterest says that 42% of its global user base is Gen Z. 'I think Gen Z has really latched onto Pinterest as a safe platform to use, especially with so much happening around other social media platforms,' says Lois, whose Tiktok videos about Pinterest under the username dandydemon have garnered over six million views. 'Pinterest is a very atypical social media platform. It's not like Instagram, it's not like TikTok, where you're actively scrolling. It's a very personalized social media platform, and it feels almost like a journal of sorts for people.' But for many users like Lois, a worrying pattern has emerged over the past couple of years. 'There is so much AI on the platform . . . that it's hard to determine what [posts are] AI, and where it is coming from,' she says. Other people like Reddit user InterationInternal agree. 'I was looking for hair color inspo and it was all AI. I couldn't find a single human!! Then [I] typed in nail inspo, interior design – same thing. Is this platform dead?' they wrote in a thread titled 'Pinterest is 100% AI now?' R/Pinterest hosts hundreds of posts with similar complaints. Frustration over AI content and the recent mass deletion of user accounts is boiling over to the point where many users are leaving the platform for alternatives. Andy McCune, cofounder and CEO of the curation app Cosmos, says that after launching in August 2024, Cosmos has already gained millions of users. And, in the couple of days after Lois shouted out the platform as a Pinterest alternative in her a video discussing the Pinterest bans, McCune noted that Cosmos saw tens of thousands of new users join the platform.

90s comedy icon Jamie Kennedy says social media, podcasts have been ‘incredible' for ‘authentic' comedy
Veteran stand-up comedian and actor Jamie Kennedy believes social media and podcasting has been "incredible" for the comedy industry. The "Malibu's Most Wanted" star and "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" creator spoke to Fox News Digital this month about how the comedy landscape has changed since he rose to fame in the 90s. According to the entertainer, the rise of social media and podcasting has made it so much more possible for people to hear "authentic" voices. "You know, comedy and podcasting seem to go very hand in hand… people are very good at it and they, they tell their authentic stories and their authentic point of view," he said. Kennedy, 55, has made his mark in many entertainment media spaces over the years. He has starred in major Hollywood franchises like "Scream," written and produced TV shows, has toured the world doing stand-up comedy, and, more recently, embraced podcasting. The comedian now hosts his "HATE TO BREAK IT TO YA with Jamie Kennedy" podcast, which can be found on Spotify and other major audio platforms. "I mean, I talk about everything," he said, adding that he's not afraid to discuss taboo subjects and explore unpopular political opinions. "I think I probably go down a rabbit hole on some topics of things that – I don't like to use the word 'conspiracy.' I think it's like a curse word. You know the saying, 'I need new conspiracies cause all the other ones came true?' I talk about stuff like that and it's just – more and more I'm talking about stuff." The comedian explained how he has seen the podcast medium take off just in the way it has brought more fringe conversations about politics and other topics to the mainstream. "I really find it's [reaching] critical mass, or we've permeated something, because people are talking about stuff that were relegated to the dark corners of the web much more openly now," he said. "You go to Chili's and the waitress will say something, and you're like, 'Whoa!'" Kennedy said this more open and authentic discourse is what makes the current era of social media and podcast dominance worth it, despite any negative aspects. "I believe all of the social media is very good," he said. "I mean, there's obviously problems with it and, you know, people living fake lives and depression. It's true, but and in terms of communication peer-to-peer, I trust social media a lot more than I do mainstream stuff." By mainstream stuff, the comic clarified he was talking about traditional and legacy media outlets. He told Fox News Digital he believes the prevalence of podcasts and new tech is why people left traditional media in droves last year. "You know, in the 2024 election, we saw a lot of people kind of going off of CNN or New York Times, like not going to them as much. And instead, we saw podcasts become like this huge outlet for like people to get information because they weren't trusting what they saw in the mainstream media." In Kennedy's opinion, this media migration was enough to get President Donald Trump elected to a second term. "Podcasters to me, 100%, got the president elected. Like literally, I can name ten podcasts he was on, and it's like, a 100%." "And what a way to do it," he continued. "You know, get yourself out there in the most – we already have an unfiltered man in the White House, but you know, he's going to be even more unfiltered." Prominent podcast hosts, like Joe Rogan and comedian Theo Von, have been widely credited with helping Trump win the 2024 presidential race after having him on their shows in the lead up to the election. Kennedy went on to mention how this new media landscape can also really boost comedians' careers, noting how it can allow anyone to go viral and connect with audiences who are always craving new and more authentic voices. "It's incredible," he said. "People find an audience for what they like. So, there are people that go to a – I'll go to a club and I'll sell pretty good on the weekend, which is the prime spot. And then Monday and Tuesday, there'll be somebody that I've never heard of, that didn't really break through the mainstream, and they'll sell out a couple shows on a Monday or a Tuesday, which is incredibly hard." "So yeah, I mean, if you have a voice and you have people that are like-minded and they find you, it's perfect. It has cluttered the market a lot, because we're all fighting for the eyeballs. But I mean, it's very democratized," he added.
