Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon Bring “The Roses” to Good Morning America

New York, NY - August 25, 2025

Actors Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon appeared live on ABC’s Good Morning America this morning to discuss their upcoming comedy series The Roses. The duo treated viewers to behind-the-scenes anecdotes and exclusive clips from the show, which premieres next month.

During the segment, Samberg described the series as “a heartfelt comedy about family and unexpected friendships,” while McKinnon revealed her character’s penchant for elaborate pranks on Samberg’s on-screen sibling. The two shared footage of their funniest on-set bloopers, prompting host Robin Roberts to laugh along with the studio audience.

Samberg also reflected on his journey since leaving Saturday Night Live, crediting the creative freedom of digital platforms for leading him to more collaborative projects such as The Roses. McKinnon chimed in on their shared improvisational process, noting that many scenes were shaped by spontaneous moments between takes.

In addition to Samberg and McKinnon, Good Morning America welcomed former tennis champion Andy Roddick, who stopped by to discuss his U.S. Open preparations, and Dr. Ian K. Smith, who highlighted recent advances in sleep science. The episode aired live from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. ET on Monday, August 25.

The pair’s appearance rounds out a week of high-profile sitcom talent on morning talk shows, with Samberg set to join Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, August 26, alongside co-star Anh Vu from the upcoming thriller Digman!.
