As a long-time fan who has watched Andy Samberg and Seth Meyers bring laughter into our lives for over a decade, I must say that their recent collaboration on Late Night With Seth Meyers was nothing short of delightful. It was like a reunion of old friends, reminding me of the good old days when they used to dominate Weekend Update together.
During the summer of 2024, the Paris Olympics were nothing short of thrilling. From falling head over heels for the Men’s Gymnastics team, particularly the Pommel Horse Guy, to the internet sensation Raygun’s viral dance moves, and Tom Cruise’s daring stunt as the grand finale, there was no shortage of excitement. However, it seemed that many of these events went unparodied on Weekend Update. To rectify this, former Saturday Night Live cast member Andy Samberg took to Late Night With Seth Meyers instead.
Andy Samberg Takes Over Late Night With Seth Meyers To Parody An Olympic Moment
During his promotional tour for the upcoming 2024 film “Lee,” Andy Samberg dropped by his former Saturday Night Live colleague and close friend’s place. In the course of their chat, Samberg expressed a desire to take control of the entire show, as he had an idea for a Weekend Update segment inspired by the 2024 Olympics that he wanted to explore. Here it is:

Andy Samberg will not let us forget the French pole vaulter with the “giant dong.”

In simpler terms, this situation reminded many TikTok users of Jake Peralta from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, causing much laughter. Samberg unexpectedly ended the interview and returned as a French character, making jokes about a popular pole vaulting video where Anthony Ammarati missed the gold due to an unfortunate incident involving his crossbar and “gift”, causing him to fall.
The humor in the Samberg and Meyers skit is amplified by Samberg’s outrageous accent and his eagerness to fire off a barrage of crude jokes about male anatomy, evoking nostalgia for their days together on Weekend Update. It’s a shame we don’t get to see them more often!
How The Internet Reacted To Anthony Ammirati’s Funny Pole Vaulting Snafu
To clarify, let’s rewind a bit. The Anthony Ammarati viral incident took place on August 3, preventing him from qualifying for the final event in his Olympic sport. If you weren’t able to witness it live, here’s a tweet reaction that captured the moment:
During the event, the 21-year-old pole vaulter found it disheartening, but as a coach for pole vaulting explained to Today, such viral mishaps are quite typical in this sport. However, given its unusual nature, it’s hard not to find some humor in it.
Despite not clinching the gold medal in pole vaulting at the Olympics due to unforeseen circumstances, it can still be considered a victory. That’s my take on things. Keep shining, champion! 😂🫵🏽✊🏽🥇 [Link to Tweet] August 3, 2024
It’s quite amusing, I hope Anthony Ammarati can find humor in this situation. After all, going viral due to a noticeable bulge isn’t the most dreadful thing that could happen. The sketch brings back memories of Andy Samberg being one of the frequent guests on Weekend Update during his tenure from 2005 to 2012. Despite discussing the strain SNL put on him, it appears he missed collaborating with Seth Meyers in a satirical skit.
