Biography

Samberg was born in Berkeley, California, as David A. J. Samberg, but changed his first name to Andy at age five.[1] His mother, Marjorie "Margi" (née Marrow), is an elementary school teacher, and his father, Joe, is a photographer.[2] He has two sisters, Johanna and Darrow.[3] He is Jewish, and has described himself as "not particularly religious."[4][5][6] His maternal grandfather, industrial psychologist and philanthropist Alfred J. Marrow, served as the executive chair of the American Jewish Congress. Samberg is a third cousin of U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, as their maternal grandfathers were first cousins.[7] Samberg discovered Saturday Night Live as a child, while sneaking past his parents to watch professional wrestling on television. He was obsessed with the show and his devotion to comedy was frustrating to teachers who felt he was distracted from his schoolwork.[8] Samberg graduated from Berkeley High School in 1996, where he became interested in creative writing and has stated that "[writing classes] were the ones that I put all my effort into... that's what I cared about and that's what I ended up doing."[9] He attended college at University of California, Santa Cruz for two years before transferring to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he graduated in 2000.[10]
