Actor and comedian Andy Samberg's hatred for Seth Meyers' dog, Frisbee, is a well-known fact around Hollywood. During an interview on Meyer's late-night show in 2020, Samberg revealed why he does not like Frisbee.

Meyer began the segment by addressing Samberg, saying:

"You love people, and you're a great friend of me and everyone in my family, save for one member of my family. The non-person, Frisbee, the dog."

Andy responded:

"Frisbee, the piece of sh*t," which drew laughter from the audience and a smile from Seth.

The host continued:

"You sent back the Christmas card because Frisbee was on the Christmas card," showing the card to the audience.

While everyone collectively "aww-ed," Andy said:

"You might as well have sent me anthrax! Look at this piece of sh*t."

He continued to say:

"I actually like dogs, that's the weird part... It's Frisbee, specifically." He starts listing the reasons why he does not like Seth's dog, "Like look, name, smell, vibes."

What did Andy Samberg do to a Christmas card with Frisbee's picture on it?

During a Q&A session on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the comedian/producer was talking with the audience. One of them asked:

"Is there anything you hate as much as Andy Samberg hates Frisbee?"

He immediately replied, saying:

"No! So, Andy Samberg hates my dog Frisbee so much, and I don't think I'm capable of hating anything as much as he... He really hates my dog, and he's hated her since she was little, and now she's 14 years old."

He recalled a true incident that happened with Andy. He said:

"Here's a true thing he did. I sent our Christmas card. Frisbee's in it every year. He scratched out her face like a serial killer and mailed it back."

As the audience was laughing, Seth added:

"I said the other day, I think when Frisbee dies, I said to my wife, I think when Frisbee dies, we should send Andy the bones, and she's like, 'how do you think, just fyi, how do you think you get the bones?' Like you bring it to the vet to put it down and you're like, 'and then yeah, if we could just get the bones.'"

When did Frisbee pass away?

Seth Meyers took to Instagram on August 19, 2025, to announce that Frisbee has passed away. He wrote a heartfelt caption. It reads:

"RIP to Frisbee, our OG IG who I was happy to go grey with. 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."

Despite the sad news, fans in the comment section remember Frisbee and Andy Samberg's iconic rivalry. Many have left humorous comments wishing Frisbee's ghost would haunt Andy forever, while others were asking for Samberg's alibi.


Andy Samberg's long-running joke about hating Seth Meyers' dog, Frisbee, became a beloved bit among fans. With Frisbee's recent passing at 14, Meyers honored her memory with a heartfelt tribute, closing a chapter of laughter and love.
