Actor and writer Chester Tam

Chester Tam met Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg at NYU film school, and when Andy rejoined his childhood friends Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer in L.A. to make videos together as The Lonely Island, Chester began working with the trio. He appeared in many of the group's pre-SNL videos (including "The 'Bu", "The Backseatsman", and "Anger Management"), continues to keep fans updated with everything relating to the Dudes running their official website, and has a role in their new movie, Hot Rod. He's also carving out a career of his own outside of The Lonely Island, and our own TLI superfan Paul Little caught up with "Chez" on the ph about his own projects, some history of The Lonely Island before they "made it big", and of course, Vancouver's crepes. This was recorded in the very early days of ShowbizMonkeys.com, so the audio quality isn't the best -- but we figured we might as well add it to our podcast archive for anyone interested in checking it out!
