In the movie, Samberg's real-life pal Jorma Taccone plays Kevin Powell, Rod's "manager-slash-videographer." Offscreen, the two – along with Hot Rod director Akiva Schaffer – formed the digital video collective the Lonely Island and work together on Saturday Night Live. "He's definitely one of the funniest dudes I've ever met," Samberg raves.
