Overview

  • Samberg told Entertainment Tonight he "didn't kill Frisbee," delivering the line during an interview with Kate McKinnon while continuing his long-running jokes about the dog.
  • The latest Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone pieces highlight his continued barbs and his claim that he enjoyed hijacking the obituaries as part of the bit.
  • Meyers and Samberg discussed the media attention on their Lonely Island With Seth Meyers podcast, acknowledging both genuine grief and the comedic framing.
  • Meyers informed Samberg of Frisbee's passing privately before it was public, and both recalled the timing near Samberg's 47th birthday that fueled half-joking online speculation.
  • Coverage notes Samberg's years of publicly disliking Frisbee’s "appearance and vibe," with no reporting indicating wrongdoing and the story treated as comedic banter.
