At the start of the episode, Meyers, 51, mentioned how bummed he was to miss out on Dennis Franz appearing on the previous podcast episode to chat aboutNYPD Blue. "I kinda couldn't believe you guys talked about Dennis Franz for that long and didn't mention that the Dennis Franz line is the hardest I've ever laughed at a Lonely Island [song]," Meyers said of "Mona Lisa," adding that he thinks about the song "all the time." "I'm really happy sometimes because the run of lyrics that starts, 'I'm an American,' is maybe my favorite series of lines," he continued.

"I'm an American man/this is my native land/Where no one lies about paintings/But that's not the case in France/Where the naked ladies dance/And they look like Dennis Franz," Samberg's Conner4Real sings in the diss track dedicated to the Leonardo da Vinci painting. "You, I think, more than anyone I know like that song," Samberg, 46, said, "And people like that song but you like it — it maybe is your favorite of our songs." The late-night host also noted that his admiration of the song also ties into the first time he heard it with then-Saturday Night Liveproducer Mike Shoemaker. "The lore about 'Mona Lisa' is that you sent it to Shoemaker and I. We were in my office, and we laughed so hard that I threw up and he farted," Meyers said. "I literally started choking and threw up into my trash can, and he farted." Though Meyers' favorite Lonely Island track didn't make it to the movie itself, it is part of the soundtrack.
