Man Meat Monday #16

The only Man Meat Monday suggestion I got this week was Nick Carter, but don't worry. There is absolutely no chance I would ever honor Nick Carter, unless a certain someone wants to write a guest post? ;)

So, after twenty minutes of contemplation, I've finally decided with...

Andy Samberg

Claim to Fame: Actor (Saturday Night Live, Hot Rod, I Love You, Man)

Birthday: August 18, 1978

I know that my praise of athletes can get a little old, but what I find REALLY attractive in a guy is a great sense of humor and some brains. Andy Samberg has both. After two years of college at UC Santa Cruz, Andy transferred to NYU for film school. This, of course, paid off because he eventually landed one of my dream jobs - a cast member for Saturday Night Live. Along with acting in skits, Andy is also known for his hilarious digital shorts, which often feature music from his comedy troupe, The Lonely Island (with friends Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer).

Do yourself a favor and listen to some Lonely Island stuff. I suggest "Lazy Sunday" or "Jizz in My Pants." He is absolutely hilarious and writes his own stuff. Also, I am a complete sucker for a guy in glasses.

Confession time: While watching the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals with my grandpa, I saw Sidney Crosby and thought, "Hot damn. That looks like an athletic Andy Samberg. New favorite player? Yes, please." I quickly realized that Sidney Crosby is also the greatest player in the game. Coincidence? No way.

Random Tidbit: He was nominated for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy for his song "I'm on a Boat" with T-Pain.

Only downfall?: He is dating musician Joanna Newsom. Although I quite like her music, I'll be the first to admit that her singing voice sounds like Tommy Pickles. This isn't jealousy talking. Youtube her.

Although Andy's impressions of Rahm Emanuel and Jack Johnson are hilarious, his Mark Wahlberg skits absolutely kill me. Perfect.



So, readers: It's your turn. How far would you go to get into Andy's digital shorts?
