Overview

  • On Aug. 19, Meyers shared a photo carousel on Instagram and wrote, “RIP to Frisbee, our OG IG… Thanks for 14 amazing years,” alongside snapshots from the dog’s life.
  • Former SNL colleagues and other stars posted tributes, including Amy Poehler (“Frisbee forever”), Rachel Dratch, Sarah Paulson, Kenan Thompson, Aidy Bryant, Adam Pally and Ike Barinholtz.
  • Earlier this month, Meyers told listeners on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast that Frisbee was very old and possibly in her “last days,” signaling her declining health.
  • Coverage revisited the long-running gag involving Andy Samberg, with fans noting the announcement came a day after his 47th birthday; as reported, Meyers reposted a story on X, adding, “She also disliked him, FWIW.”
  • Frisbee occasionally appeared on Late Night, including a 2015 segment comparing her to a show dog, underscoring her role in Meyers’ on-air and off-air life.
