Listen to Fresh Air later Today at 6pm on WVIA-FM - Listen LiveAir with Terry GrossTODAY: With their videos for parody hip hop songs like "Mother Lover" and "D*** In A Box," LONELY ISLAND is responsible for some of the funniest skits on Saturday Night Live from the last 8 years, and it's a chemistry long in the making. We talk with ANDY SAMBERG, AKIVA SCHAFFER, and JORMA TACCONE about how they met as junior high students in Berkeley, California, obsessed with music videos and 'Yo! MTV Raps,' moving to Los Angeles after college to pursue comedy, putting their material on the internet, and what happened when SNL came calling. Their new album is THE WACK ALBUM. ALSO: Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead reviews WOMAN CHILD, the new album from 23-year-old phenom CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT.
