In a moment of unscripted television gold, comedian and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg turned a simple frisbee demonstration into a full-blown studio catastrophe during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The incident unfolded as Samberg, promoting his new film Palm Springs, attempted to showcase his frisbee skills. What followed was a classic case of best-laid plans going awry in the most public way possible. The plastic disc veered wildly off course, ricocheting around the set and causing palpable panic.
A Canine Crisis Narrowly Averted
The true drama began when the rogue frisbee set its sights on an unintended target: Frisbee, Seth Meyers' own rescue dog and the show's beloved furry mascot, who was peacefully sleeping nearby. The studio audience gasped as the projectile hurtled towards the unsuspecting pet.
Meyers, in a display of quick-thinking heroism worthy of his own 'A Closer Look' segment, instinctively lunged to protect his dog. The host successfully intercepted the frisbee mere inches from his pet, averting a potential disaster and earning a wave of relieved applause from the audience.
From Panic to Punchline
True to the show's comedic spirit, the near-miss was quickly diffused with laughter. Samberg, initially mortified, recovered with perfect timing. "This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me on television," he deadpanned, burying his face in his hands in mock despair.
The segment continued with the pair joking about the would-be headline: "Andy Samberg Kills Seth Meyers' Dog on Live Television." Meyers, ever the gracious host, assured his friend that all was well, noting that the real Frisbee was completely unfazed and had simply gone back to sleep.
The hilarious clip has since gone viral, proving that sometimes the best comedy is completely unplanned. It serves as a perfect reminder of the unpredictable magic of live television and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog.
