\n\tAndy Samberg<\/a> fondly remembered his late Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/a> costar Andre Braugher<\/a>, reflecting on their time together on the two-time Emmy-winning sitcom and how the show has endured for audiences since its conclusion in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent episode<\/a> of Good Hang<\/a> with Amy Poehler<\/a>, the Saturday Night Live alum discussed seeking Poehler\u2019s advice on taking the lead role in the Mike Schur and Dan Goor-created series about a Brooklyn-based precinct, as the writers were also behind her Parks and Recreation. Samberg said he didn\u2019t realize how well-known and beloved the show was until a family trip to Europe a couple years ago resulted in him getting recognized everywhere.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a gift that keeps giving,\u201d the Palm Springs star said. \u201cBecause of the Netflix part of it, everywhere I went, it was like, \u2018Jake Peralta!\u2019 I felt like I was on Friends. I was like, \u2018Oh my God, the show is actually really big and people really watch it.\u2019 And kids love it and families watch it together, which was such a part of my experience growing up, was watching good quality sitcoms together as a family. And just being able to think that I did something that is that for people is really gratifying. And it was amazing, like I\u2019m still really close with everyone I worked with there and loved it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPoehler then brought up Braugher, whom she described as a \u201cpoised \u2026 playful and fun\u201d performer, and Samberg emphatically agreed, adding, \u201cAnd just a good person. Like so deeply moral and kind and pleasant and smart. We all absolutely loved him. I miss him a lot. Our dynamic worked immediately. It was like one of those things where you\u2019re just like, \u2018This is kismet. I don\u2019t know how to explain it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, describing their first table read together: \u201cFrom that moment forward, the only thing me and him had to even talk about creatively was in the beginning he didn\u2019t trust himself to do comedy because he came so strictly from drama and Juilliard and five or six times we would do a more serious topic on the show and he would flip that switch and everyone would be like, \u2018Oh my God, what is Andre doing here? He\u2019s so good.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA venerated actor, the two-time Emmy-winning Braugher died in December 2023<\/a> at the age of 61 from lung cancer<\/a>. Outside of his fan-favorite role as the stoic yet playful leader Captain Ray Holt, he starred in series Homicide: Life On The Street, The Good Fight, Men of a Certain Age and Thief, as well as films Salt, Passengers, Glory and Primal Fear. The Juilliard-trained actor was also a prolific stage performer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andy Samberg fondly remembered his late Brooklyn Nine-Nine costar Andre Braugher, reflecting on their time together on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[6189,6190,6191,6192,88,6193,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-5790","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-amy-poehler","9":"tag-andre-braugher","10":"tag-andy-samberg","11":"tag-brooklyn-nine-nine","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-good-hang","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
