The guys of comedy trio The Lonely Island made their way to Austin on Friday to promote āPopstar: Never Stop Never Stopping,ā spending the day with radio station KLBJ, the guys over at Rooster Teeth and some lucky UT students.
āPopstar,ā which will be released June 3, is a comedy written, produced by and starringĀ Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer and Andy Samberg. It follows the story of Connor, a rapper whose album bombs and is forced to re-form his old boy band. Tonight, the film will be screened at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar to UT students only.
The group started off the day at radio station 93.7 KLBJ where they talked about the numerous cameos in āPopstarā and Sambergās haters.
āWeāre producers so weād sit in the theater and people donāt know weāre in there,ā he said. āAnd thereās always one dude that says āIāve got to say, I just donāt like Andy Samberg.ā

Then, they made their way over to production company Rooster Teeth, whose Twitter account posted a few photos from their session together. Apparently, they broke a table together.
Loved having @thelonelyisland today, even though there was a casualty in the process
