Andy Samberg is an award-winning American comedian, actor, musician, and filmmaker. With the dream of featuring on ‘NBC’ network's long-running late-night sketch comedy show 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL), he formed the comedy group 'The Lonely Island' with his friends, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer. He eventually became a permanent cast member on ‘SNL,’ and the trio popularized the segment 'Digital Shorts' in the show. As part of the show, he made a number of parody songs and worked with stars like Justin Timberlake and T-Pain. Samberg, who considers ‘SNL’ alumnus Adam Sandler as a role model, ended up working with him in movies like 'That's My Boy,' 'Hotel Transylvania,' and 'Grown Ups 2.’ Apart from appearing in a number of films like 'I Love You, Man,' 'Friends with Benefits,' and 'Celeste and Jesse Forever,’ he also did voice acting in 'Space Chimps,' 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,' 'Hotel Transylvania,' and 'Storks.' He also starred in the pop music mockumentary 'Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping' with Taccone and Schaffer. Apart from acting, he also served as the mockumentary’s producer and writer.
