Seth Meyers gave Andy Samberg a chance to resurrect one of his old cut Saturday Night Live sketches during a round of “Second Chance Theatre” on last night’s (February 4) Late Night!
The 41-year-old Brooklyn Nine-Nine star along with the help of John Mulaney, Kenan Thompson and some of the Late Night gang performed the never-before-aired SNL sketch called “Griff Banks the Sensitive Bully,” in which Andy played the titular character who instantly falls apart every time he attempts to bully his classmates and receives even the slightest amount of pushback in return.
“It was written by me and Colin Jost and Rob Klein and its sort of pulling from the ’80s and some ’90s film troupes of like the bully that’s like riding the nerd the whole movie,” Andy explained. “But then when the nerd stands up to the bully, the bully kind of caves and you’re like, yeah! go nerd!’”
“I’m a terrible bully. This isn’t even a varsity jacket, it’s My Little Pony!” Andy says during the sketch. “I’m not a bully, I’m just a gaping snorf!”
Also during his appearance, Andy hit the couch and talked about fatherhood, his supreme distaste for Seth’s dog, Frisbee, his record-breaking Sundance Film Festival deal, and the return of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

John Mulaney is all smiles as he poses alongside his wife Annamarie Tendler while attending the special screening of his Netflix special John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch held at The Metrograph on Monday evening (December 16) in New York City.
The 37-year-old comedian also got support from his good pals Nick Kroll and Mike Birbiglia, as well as co-stars Andre De Shields, Annaleigh Ashford and the kids of The Sack Lunch Bunch.
John Mulaney aims to recapture the magic of that bygone television era when children sang songs about their feelings with celebrity guests on funky outdoor sets in John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch.
“I’m John Mulaney and I am a 37 year old man. The Sack Lunch Bunch is a group of children ages 8-13 who are more talented than me,” he said in statement. “In this special, we are joined by celebrity guests like David Byrne, Tony Award Winner Andre De Shields, Natasha Lyonne and Jake Gyllenhaal from the movie Zodiac. The result is a collage of Broadway caliber showstoppers, comedy sketches for all ages, meditations on the unknown from children and adults, and a papier mache volcano. It’s funny, musical, joyous, anxious, and surprisingly profound.”
The special launches globally on Netflix on December 24 – Watch trailer here!
John Mulaney stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (December 2) and dished all about his upcoming Netflix special, John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch!
“It’s a show for kids by an adult with kids present,” the 37-year-old comedian told Jimmy. “It’s a children musical special, and I am a man with no children and no musical ability – but I wanted to do a variety special and I wanted to do it with kids. It’s a nod to the shows I grew up on.”
John then went on to reveal that Stevie Nicks passed on his special but invited him to hang in her yard instead: “When she passes on a TV project, she really passes on it,” Mulaney explained, adding that he reached her manager who turned down the offer. “She said ‘Also, Stevie listened to the song and she doesn’t think it’s funny.’And I said ‘Oh, okay. Yeah, the first answer was good enough.’ And she said, ‘Stevie’s confused, because this is not one of her songs.’”
Stevie‘s manager mentioned the musician’s appearance on American Horror Story: Coven, where she sang one of her own songs, “Seven Wonders.” Mulaney said he was aware, noting, again, that he’d wanted Nicks to sing a parody song, to which the manager once again replied, “But she doesn’t find it funny.”
Later on the show, Jimmy challenged John Mulaney to give opinions on the spot about randomly generated holiday topics, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and mistletoe.
