The Lonely Island is a comedy troupe consisting of filmmakers Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg (aka The Dudes). The group was originally formed in Berkeley, California - in 2001 - but they now reside in New York City. They write, produce, and are featured in the “SNL Digital Shorts” on Saturday Night Live (Samberg is a current cast member, Taccone and Schaffer are writers) most notably “Lazy Sunday,” “Dick In A Box” featuring Justin Timberlake, “Jizz In My Pants,” and “I’m On A Boat” featuring T-Pain. In August 2007, “Hot Rod” was released, which was co-written by the Dudes (with Pam Brady) and directed by Akiva. It co-starred Andy, Jorma and fellow SNL-ers Bill Hader and Chris Parnell, among others. On February 10, 2009 the Lonely Island’s debut record “Incredibad” was released. It includes most of the SNL Digital Shorts as well as new songs featuring E-40, Julian Casablancas, Jack Black, and Norah Jones.
