Overview

  • Meyers confirmed Frisbee's death on Aug. 19 in an Instagram tribute thanking the Italian Greyhound for 14 years and sharing a photo carousel.
  • Friends and fans posted condolences, with messages from Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Kenan Thompson, Sarah Paulson and others appearing under the tribute.
  • Meyers reposted coverage on X and added that Frisbee "also disliked" Andy Samberg, noting the mutual nature of the long-running gag.
  • Social media users riffed on Samberg’s past barbs and the timing near his 47th birthday, leaving roast-style comments and tagging the comedian.
  • The rivalry dates back years, including a July prank on Amy Poehler’s podcast where Samberg joked "That dog sucks" and compared Frisbee to a "rat carcass," while Meyers had recently said on his podcast that Frisbee was "just really old."
