Andy Samberg has had quite a year: that Brooklyn Nine-Nine ordeal, the Lonely Island’s first concert, the release of Hotel Transylvania 3, and, most importantly, fatherhood. In an interview with the New York Times, Samberg gushed about his 1-year-old daughter (“It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.â€) with his wife, musician Joanna Newsom, and how his time on Saturday Night Live prepared him for the utter exhaustion of being a new parent. “I had good training for parenthood by working at SNL,†the 39-year-old former cast member told the Times in a phone interview from his Los Angeles home. “The sleep deprivation part of it has been like, ‘Oh, right — this feeling.’ But there’s so much less stress because the baby’s not going live at 11:30.†Just remember to feed her before midnight, though, Andy. Lest she turn into a grumpy gremlin on you.
