In a touching Instagram post, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers shared the passing of his beloved Italian greyhound, Frisbee.
The comedian shared a carousel of photos on Aug. 19 of the family dog, including photos of the pet as a puppy, a family Thanksgiving photo shoot with one of Meyersโ children, and Frisbee soaking in the sun on a boat.
โRIP to Frisbee, our OG IG who I was happy to go grey with,โ he wrote.
โShe was at her best curled in your lap and patient when we dressed her up like a pilgrim. Thanks for 14 amazing years, girl,โ he added.
Many of Meyersโ friends and colleagues came together in the comments, sending their farewells to Frisbee.
โFrisbee forever,โ fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Amy Poehler’s podcast โGood Hang with Amy Poehlerโ commented with a frisbee emoji.
โOh Seth!! Darlingest of the darling dogs. Sending you all my love,โ actor Sarah Paulson said.
โNoooo! Frisbeeee! sorry for your loss,โ โSNLโ colleague Rachel Dratch commented with a heart emoji.
Frisbee made appearances on TV over the years, including with Meyers’ wife, Alexi Ashe, on Meyers’ late-night show in 2015 as part of a show dog segment in which his dog was compared to a professional show dog of the same breed.
โFrisbee, do not blow this for me,โ Meyers said in the segment, hoping that Frisbee would impress the crowd.
Additionally, Meyers was confronted in 2015 by Olivia Munn on his show about his โweirdโ love for Frisbee. She revealed that Meyers allowed Frisbee to sit in his lap for meals at restaurants, kiss him on the mouth and even poop on a bed.
โI think all of this is very normal,โ Meyers said, defending Frisbee as the crowd laughed.
Most notably, Frisbee was known for her ongoing feud with Meyersโ longtime friend Andy Samberg.
The comedians discussed the feud on Meyers’ show in 2020, and Frisbee made a surprise appearance, unable to even face Samberg during the video chat.
โLook how much she hates you. She hates you so much,โ Meyers said with a laugh.
โFrisbee, I just want to say, itโs all in good fun, youโre a good dog,โ Samberg said as he displayed a sticky note that revealed his true feelings: โFrisbee sucks.โ
