Andy Samberg and Lonely Island Debut ‘Turtleneck and Chains' – Video

Fans of Saturday Night Live and Andy Samberg should be happy today.

Samberg and his two comedy partners, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, have released their latest comedy album “Turtleneck & Chains”.

The album is available on iTunes and Amazon and features collaborations with Akon, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, Michael Bolton, Beck, Nicki Minaj, and Santigold.

Okay, for those of you who don’t know about Lonely Island, you may be surprised to know that you may have already seen them.

In fact, last week Samberg and company unleashed their power on Saturday Night Live with their video featuring Michael Bolton on “Jack Sparrow”.

And even if you didn’t watch SNL last week I know you have heard about the Justin Timberlake collaboration a couple of years ago with Samberg called “Dick in a box”. Sound familiar?

Samberg and company have done other tunes including “I just had sex”, “Jizz in my pants”, “Bing Bing Brothers”, “Mother Lover” and others.

The music videos started as digital shorts on SNL and have grown into the full blown comedy group known as the “The Lonely Island”.

Samberg credits his arrival on Saturday Night Live to late night host Jimmy Fallon. Andy was writing jokes for Fallon who asked him to audition for Lorne Michaels – and the rest is history.

Anyway, their new album is available today and the following video is from the title track “Turtleneck & Chains”

Justin Timberlake a stooge?

Originally, it was Benicio Del Toro (Moe), Sean Penn (Larry) and Jim Carrey (Curly) signed up for the cast, but when Penn and Carrey fell through, the directors were back to the drawing board. In December, it came out that Johnny Knoxville and Andy Samberg were in contention for roles, but now, not even that is set in stone.

Now it being reported the Timberlake could be cast as Larry.

Andy Samberg, Johnny Knoxville To Star In 'The Three Stooges'

Why I oughta....

So what says you about this concept? Knoxville and Sandberg? I mean I like both of them but let us be perfectly honest, why remake the Three Stooges?

If all goes down as planned, 'Jackass' star Knoxville would take the lead as Moe, while 'SNL' and Lonely Island man Samberg would play Larry; Jacobson would take on Curly, the site said.

Mark Wahlberg Confronts Andy Samberg On SNL - Video

Mark Wahlberg visited the set of Saturday Night Live last night to settle the score with Andy Samberg. Last week, Samberg made fun of Wahlberg in a sketch called "Mark Wahlberg Talks With Animals".

Last night, Mark confronted Samberg backstage to settle the score.

The show was hosted by Josh Brolin who is currently appearing in the Oliver Stone film "W". Tina Fey joined to lampoon Alaskan Governor and Vice President candidate Sarah Palin, and Alec Baldwin made a special guest appearance to kick things off.

You have to believe that Lorne Michaels is loving this last few weeks, as Fey had left the show last year to focus on her own television show "30 Rock". It's nice to see her visit her old stomping grounds to help a guy out when he needs it.

Sarah Palin Does SNL - Watch Video

Alaskan governor and VP presidential candidate Sarah Palin made history Saturday night.

She made a special guest appearance on the long running hit sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" on October 18.

In what can only be a result of the recent Tina Fey impersonations, and continual campaign gaffs, Palin took the opportunity to lampoon her shortcomings, and show the country she has a sense of humor.

Joined by Fey and Alec Baldwin, the two lampooned a Palin press conference. But SNL really missed an opportunity here, we thought the skit was somewhat lame and still think they should have done a "30 Rock" parody with Palin playing Fey's role - especially since they had Alec Baldwin there.

Where is Joe the plumber and Katie Couric when you need them? At least Mark Wahlberg stopped by to set the record straight with Andy Samberg about his "talking to animals" problem.
