Andy Samberg shared a playful memory from Hollywood’s dance floor moments on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, recounting the time Tiffany Haddish and Bill Murray cut loose at a Golden Globes afterparty. Haddish was guest-hosting the show when Samberg, who co-hosted the 2019 Globes with Sandra Oh, recalled leaving the party and noticing a lively scene on the dance floor.
“As I was leaving, I looked over at the dance floor and I believe what I saw was you and Bill Murray freaking like junior high students,” Samberg joked, noting he had a few drinks that night. Haddish confirmed the memory, laughing, “You saw right. He and I, we danced all night. I crept up behind him and I said, ‘I’m your fairy god dancer.’”
Haddish explained that she was dancing for potential work, hoping Murray would star in a movie with her playing her baby daddy, but the project didn’t come together. Samberg, asked if he has danced with Murray in a similar way, replied with a smile, “Not like that, but, you know, I’m open to whatever. Whatever the world brings in my path.”
The exchange also serves as a reminder of the duo’s broader careers. Samberg is known for Saturday Night Live, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Hot Rod, and his Lonely Island collaborations, while Haddish has starred in Girls Trip, Like a Boss, Bad Trip and released several stand-up specials.
Bottom line: a candid backstage moment highlights Hollywood’s lighter side and the potential for surprising collaborations, even if they don’t always come to fruition.
