Andy Samberg wasn’t actively seeking another TV series after leaving Saturday Night Live, but one specific factor convinced him to join Brooklyn Nine-Nine: the chance to work with Michael Schur and Dan Goor. Their creative vision, reputation for character-driven comedy, and promise of a supportive environment made the role of Jake Peralta irresistible. This article explores Samberg’s decision, the influences behind it, and how the series ultimately shaped his career. Why Andy Samberg Really Accepted His Role on Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Full Story When Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered in 2013, viewers instantly connected with Andy Samberg’s energetic, witty, and fearlessly goofy take on Detective Jake Peralta. But behind the scenes, Samberg’s decision to join the series wasn’t as straightforward as fans might assume. After leaving Saturday Night Live—a show known for its demanding pace and emotional toll—Samberg wasn’t actively chasing weekly television again. Yet something (or rather, someone) changed his mind. In this deep-dive, we explore why Samberg said yes to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, what drew him specifically to the character of Jake, and how the show grew into a defining chapter of his career. A Creative Partnership He Couldn't Ignore The primary factor behind Samberg’s decision can be summarized in one name: Michael Schur. Schur, co-creator of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, was already widely admired for his work on Parks and Recreation. Samberg, an outspoken fan of the show, viewed Schur’s writing and leadership as unparalleled in modern sitcoms. That admiration played an enormous role in tipping his decision. Working with Schur wasn’t just a job—it was a creative opportunity he didn’t want slipping away. Samberg trusted Schur’s track record for: rich, character-driven comedy emotionally smart storytelling ensemble casts with real chemistry This trust became the foundation upon which Samberg built his confidence in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Dan Goor’s Vision for Jake Peralta Changed Everything Alongside Schur was co-creator Dan Goor, another name Samberg respected from the comedy world. Goor and Schur pitched Brooklyn Nine-Nine to Samberg not as a parody of cop shows, but as a workplace comedy in a precinct with heart, humor, and relatable characters. Jake Peralta wasn’t meant to be a caricature. He would be: immature yet brilliant funny while capable of real emotional depth a detective who grows over time Goor described the show as one where humor came from humanity—not slapstick, not absurdity. That resonated deeply with Samberg, who wanted to move into roles with more dimension than his SNL characters. Amy Poehler’s Encouragement Made a Real Difference A major behind-the-scenes contributor to Samberg’s decision was his former Saturday Night Live castmate Amy Poehler. Before Samberg officially said yes, Poehler advised him on the joys of working on a sitcom under Schur and Goor. She had firsthand experience on Parks and Recreation, which she frequently described as the most supportive and creatively fulfilling job of her career. Her guidance was simple but powerful: “If you get the chance to work with this team, don’t hesitate.” Hearing that from someone Samberg admired pushed him even closer to accepting the offer. He Wanted Stability After SNL’s Chaotic Pace Life at Saturday Night Live is fast, chaotic, and overwhelmingly demanding. After years of late-night writing sessions, performance pressure, and constant reinvention, Samberg had initially planned to rest and explore film or music projects with The Lonely Island. But when Brooklyn Nine-Nine came along, it offered something SNL could not: predictable hours consistent creative direction long-term character development work-life balance a supportive environment The idea of settling into a steady rhythm—both professionally and personally—was extremely appealing. Jake Peralta Allowed Him to Flex His Range Though known for his comedic chops, Samberg had always wanted to show more nuance in his acting. Jake Peralta offered him the freedom to be funny while also exploring: emotional vulnerability character growth personal relationships leadership moments flaws and depth Jake was a character who could change from season to season. That level of growth simply wasn’t possible in sketch comedy. Samberg wasn’t just signing on for jokes—he was committing to a role that allowed him to expand his artistic identity. The Concept Was Fresh, Not Formulaic Cop comedies existed before, but none were framed the way Brooklyn Nine-Nine was envisioned. The tone would be: modern inclusive character-driven respectful of real-life issues optimistic The creators were adamant that the show would avoid glorifying policing, instead focusing on workplace humor and personal relationships. This approach felt fresh, and Samberg recognized its long-term appeal. He Saw an Opportunity to Be Part of Something Meaningful Samberg wasn’t aiming for another cultural phenomenon—but that is exactly what he walked into. He saw potential early on: an ensemble cast with chemistry a tone that balanced comedy and sincerity creators with a strong vision a format suited for fan longevity Becoming part of a show with heart and purpose appealed not just to Samberg the actor, but Samberg the storyteller. And he was right: the show went on to win Golden Globes, build a massive fandom, and become a streaming staple around the world. The Cast Chemistry Was Instant—and Unmatched One of the biggest surprises for Samberg was how quickly the cast clicked. Terry Crews, Andre Braugher, Stephanie Beatriz, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, and Chelsea Peretti formed a team that felt like lightning in a bottle. Samberg often credited Andre Braugher’s gravitas and comedic instincts as a grounding force for the entire series. Their dynamic—Peralta’s chaos vs. Holt’s stoic leadership—became the heart of the show. The environment wasn’t just funny—it was healthy, collaborative, and full of mutual respect. For Samberg, that made going to work each day a joy. A Role That Redefined His Career Looking back, Andy Samberg has openly stated that accepting the role of Jake Peralta was one of the best decisions of his life. It gave him: a legacy character award recognition global popularity creative stability deep friendships a new chapter after SNL He evolved from a sketch comedian into a leading actor with emotional range and long-term influence. What began as a hesitant “maybe” became a defining moment. FAQs 1. Why did Andy Samberg take the role in Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Because he trusted the creative vision of Michael Schur and Dan Goor, admired their previous work, and believed the role offered emotional and comedic depth. 2. Was he looking for another TV show after SNL? No. Samberg has said he wasn’t actively seeking a regular TV role due to the demanding nature of SNL, but the offer was too compelling to refuse. 3. Did Amy Poehler influence his decision? Yes. Her positive experiences with Schur on Parks and Recreation encouraged Samberg to seriously consider the opportunity. 4. What attracted him to Jake Peralta specifically? Jake was written as a funny yet layered character, giving Samberg the chance to grow beyond short-form sketch comedy. 5. Did the cast chemistry play a role in his happiness on the show? Absolutely. Samberg often emphasized the cast’s bond, especially his dynamic with Andre Braugher, as one of the major reasons the show felt special.
