Seth Meyers’ beloved dog Frisbee, a gangly Greyhound whose ongoing feud with comedian Andy Samberg drew laughs, has died.
In a post to Instagram Aug. 19, the “Late Night” host revealed the dog’s passing, writing: “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.” The caption accompanied a photo of Meyers, 51, and Frisbee mid-kiss on the couch.
The comment section was flooded with condolences from Meyer’s famous friends, including fellow “Saturday Night Live” star Kenan Thompson, who wrote: “Oh nooooo!!! So sorry buddy!!!”
Other “SNL” alums like Vanessa Bayer and Rachel Dratch also chimed in writing, “So Sorry Seth” and “Noooo! Frisbeeee! sorry for your loss,” respectively.
The comment section was also home to a peculiar trend, however: people celebrating on Samberg’s behalf. Over the years, the “Lonely Planet” comedian has made his dislike for the pup known, often referring to Frisbee as a “rat.”
The long-running bit, which Meyers often leaned into in his interviews with Samberg, 47, prompted fans under the comedian’s post to share sentiments like “May her ghost haunt Andy Samberg forever” and “Andy’s birthday wish came true :(“. Many also tagged Samberg’s Instagram account, joking that he might need an alibi.
The comedian has not yet weighed in on the death of his thin-legged nemesis. Italian Greyhound dogs, the smooth-skinned, charcoal colored breed Frisbee belonged to, traditionally live between 13 and 15 years, according to the American Kennel Club.
