Seth Meyers is heartbroken. The Late Night host just lost his beloved Italian Greyhound, Frisbee, after 14 years by his side. He revealed the sad news on Instagram with personal photos and a raw, emotional goodbye. Fans, friends, and comedy legends quickly rallied to honor the tiny pup who made a huge impact. But this story is more than just loss. It is also about laughter, love, and one very public feud with Andy Samberg.
A Heartfelt Goodbye
Meyers shared the painful news on Tuesday, posting a tribute that struck deep with his followers. He included images of Frisbee as a puppy and even one where she was dressed as a pilgrim. The caption carried his grief but also gratitude for their time together. He wrote, “RIP to Frisbee, our OG IG who I was happy to go grey with.” He remembered her as happiest curled in a lap and patient when dressed up. Meyers ended with a powerful line: “Thanks for 14 amazing years, girl.” His words resonated across social media.
The comedian’s colleagues and fans were quick to respond with support. Former Saturday Night Live castmate Rachel Dratch cried out in the comments, writing, “Noooo! Frisbeeee!” She added, “Sorry for your loss,” summing up what many were feeling. Amy Poehler joined in with a short but powerful note: “Frisbee forever.” Aidy Bryant added three pink hearts. The outpouring of love showed how many people felt connected to Meyers and his pup. It was more than condolences. It was a flood of shared memories and respect.
This was not the first time Meyers opened up about Frisbee’s journey. Earlier this month, on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, he revealed she was declining. His words were blunt and heavy. “She’s just really old,” he admitted. “She’s not actively dying, but I would say that even a 7-year-old who’s not a vet is like, ‘Last days?’” Meyers knew the end was near. He still faced it with honesty and humor, qualities that defined his career. Now the loss has arrived, and it is no less painful.
Andy Samberg’s Long Feud With Frisbee
The loss also reignited attention on Andy Samberg’s strange relationship with Frisbee. Samberg has mocked the Italian Greyhound for years. His jokes became so intense that YouTube compilations were created to highlight them. The feud even overlapped with real-life moments. Fans noticed the timing: Meyers posted about Frisbee’s passing just one day after Samberg’s 47th birthday. The coincidence fueled even more reactions online.
Fans did not hold back. Some aimed comments directly at Samberg in Meyers’ post. One wrote, “Very sorry for your loss, I hope she haunts Andy Samberg for years to come 🖤.” Another added, “I’m sorry, Meyers fam. ❤️ The collective love for her from the masses built a barrier Samberg’s vitriol could never pierce.” The comments were fierce, but they reflected years of a running gag. Frisbee’s death hit hard, but it also reminded fans of the unusual comedy saga.
Meyers himself has addressed Samberg’s relentless dislike of Frisbee. During a Late Night Q&A in April, he shared a disturbing story. He said, “He’s hated my dog since she was little and now she’s 14 years old.” Then he revealed a shocking detail. After Meyers sent out a Christmas card featuring Frisbee, Samberg defaced it. “He scratched out her face like a serial killer and mailed it back,” Meyers recalled. The moment became part of their lore. It was brutal, bizarre, and unforgettable.
Comedy, Conflict, and Loss
The strange saga did not end there. Just last month, Meyers set up Samberg for another reaction. On Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, he asked her to pretend that Frisbee had died. Poehler carried out the prank. When she delivered the fake news, Samberg’s response was sharp and unapologetic. He said, “Don’t even play, ‘cause I’ll be so happy.” His reaction shocked some, but it was consistent with his years of public disdain for the pup.
Samberg doubled down in that same moment. Through laughter, he refused to soften his stance. “I will never back off that,” he insisted. His tone was firm, and his words were blunt. “That dog sucks, dude,” he said with no hesitation. He acknowledged the podcast was supposed to be positive. Still, he refused to let go of the joke. “That dog is like a rat carcass,” he finished. The line echoed his long-running hostility.
Now Frisbee is gone, and Meyers is grieving. The comedian’s post is a final farewell to his loyal companion. His friends and fans showed love, compassion, and support. Samberg’s history with Frisbee remains part of the story, a bizarre thread woven through comedy and conflict. But at the center of it all is a man and his dog. Meyers said goodbye with gratitude, sorrow, and love. The story of Frisbee may include laughter, but it ends with loss.
