Andy Samberg Is Getting a TV Show in the U.K.

By Amos Barshad at

After a seven-year run on SNL, Andy Samberg is now officially a free agent, and he's already got his first big post-show-era project lined up: This Friday's archetypal Sandler-ian comedy That's My Boy, which, depending on how good a mood I happen to be in, either looks like it'll be low-expectations sneak-hilarious or the worst thing of all time. But now there's another, lower-stakes move in the works for our dude: BBC Three has announced a six-episode series called Cuckoo that will star Samberg as the title character and will hit the air later this year.
