It’s hard not to think of Andy Samberg as a comedy star nowadays. After his breakthrough on Saturday Night Live, Samberg went on to lead the hit series Brooklyn Nine-Nine for eight seasons and star in critically acclaimed movies like Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping and Palm Springs. Of course, Samberg’s big-screen debut is the oft-celebrated cult classic Hot Rod, which allowed him and his Lonely Island cohorts Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone to bring their absurdist humor to new levels. Despite how much Hot Rod feels like an extension of the group’s “Digital Shorts,” the movie was not originally intended for Samberg, but rather for another Saturday Night Live star entirely.
