If dead dogs go to heaven, Andy Samberg might want to choose another everlasting abode.
Seth Meyers’s dog, Frisbee, has died at age 14, according to a post on Mr. Meyers’s Instagram. She was beloved to the Meyers family, the host of NBC’s “Late Night” wrote.
“R.I.P. to Frisbee, our O.G. I.G. who I was happy to go grey with,” Mr. Meyers wrote in a post on Tuesday about the Italian greyhound, featuring a photo of both of their graying locks. “She was at her best curled in your lap and patient when we dressed her up like a pilgrim. Thanks for 14 amazing years, girl.”
But the scrawny, nervous pooch was probably best known by the public as the target of Mr. Samberg’s disgust. Fans speculated that, somewhere, the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor was rejoicing.
“Andy’s birthday wish came true,” read one of the top comments on the Instagram post, speculating that Mr. Samberg, who turned 47 on Monday, might have wished ill of the dog on his birthday. (Mr. Meyers did not say exactly when Frisbee died.)
Mr. Samberg, whose friendship with Mr. Meyers dates back to their time on “Saturday Night Live,” developed what can only be described as a strong distaste for Frisbee from the moment she was dropped into his lap as a puppy, the two have said in interviews over the years.
“Frisbee was this big,” Mr. Meyers said to Mr. Samberg on “Late Night” in 2020, holding his hands at about the size of a bowling ball, “and we put her in your lap for a second, and you for real went: euhhhhh,” Mr. Meyers said, making a tossing gesture with his hands. “And she just, like, thumped onto the floor.”
