\t\t\t\t\tThe Billboard Cover Story: Double Threats With Andy Samberg \u2014 The Clown\u00a0Prince\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThe accident was on Aug. 31, his daughter\u2019s 5th birthday. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t the coolest way to start the day,\u201d Taccone said.<\/p>\n

\n\tTaccone, 48, recounted the scary incident from his hospital bed during Tuesday\u2019s episode of The<\/em> Lonely Island & Seth Meyers<\/em> podcast, which he co-hosts with fellow Lonely Island members Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer and late-night talk show host Seth Meyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s a barn, and the back half of the barn has a big white wall. And I was like, \u2018Oh, this is great. We can do a big mural.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTaccone said that he borrowed ladders to hang lights around the barn to highlight the mural when he fell 20 feet onto his butt. \u201cI literally have enough time as I\u2019m falling to be like, \u2018I\u2019m going to die,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the injuries were serious, Taccone said his doctors expect him to walk again within three to six months, which was a huge relief to his Lonely Island colleagues \u2013 friends since childhood.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been a really scary week, and we\u2019re glad that you didn\u2019t hit your head and that you\u2019re not dead,\u201d Schaffer said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Lonely Island have proved highly successful at blending music and comedy. They put seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100, topped by \u201cI Just Had Sex\u201d (featuring Akon<\/a>), which reached No. 30 in 2011. Their other Hot 100 hits featured T-Pain, Nicki Minaj, Michael Bolton, Adam Levine & Kendrick Lamar and Tegan & Sara.<\/p>\n
