Melissa Fumero plays Amy Santiago on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Much of her time is spent pretending that she’s married to Andy Samberg. So we already have that in common. She also won the guest star lottery when the show made superfan Lin-Manual Miranda Amy’s perfect brother, David. It’s safe to say Melissa’s having a pretty good year. Living the life does come with a downside, as we learned when Melissa chatted with Andy’s good pal, Seth Meyer. Andy’s a cookie stealer! And he takes them right out of your hand. Ain’t no man worth stealing my cookies! (Coffee’s not even in the discussion – I’ll cut you over coffee.)

When Amy and Seth discussed the cookie thievery:

How is it working with Andy Samberg? I think he’s healthier in LA, not being on SNL where were a lot grumpier, hung over a lot. He’s seems green juiced out, right now.
He is, but I really enjoy when he gets grumpy. It’s very similar to how my three-year-old gets grumpy.

This all tracks with my experience
Yeah. But, you know, you just poor yourself some coffee, grab a cookie and just sit near him, and he will eventually take the coffee and eat that cookie from your hand.

He does seem to be communal with food, especially when he doesn’t have any
And he’s always trying to be good and healthy so he doesn’t get sick and takes care of himself, so I really enjoy just like sliding in with five cookies.

Okay, so Andy is not the monster I painted him out to be. Melissa intentionally uses the cookie to bring Andy out of a funk, kind of how I use bacon to cheer my dogs up when I grab my purse but not the dog leash. Seth revealed that Andy is a one-way food-sharer, but I can look past this as well because I happen to be married to such a man. The Professor will ask for a ‘bite’ of my sandwich and somehow fit half of it in his mouth. I’ve started ordering desserts with disclaimers about how much I’m willing to give up to people who claim they “don’t want any.”

So Melissa knows full well what she’s doing. She’s seen the chink in Andy’s armor and she works it to her advantage. She probably learned the trick from Andy’s real-life wife, musician Joanna Newsom, whom I imagine has a drawer filled with Andy treats for when the grumps overtake him. I’m not saying I’m giving up any cookies to pull him out of a funk, but I respect Melissa’s game.

Since we’re already on the subject of Andy Samberg, I’m sure all of us who low-key sweat for this guy saw this photo last week and didn’t know what to do with ourselves:

Hey, how are ya? You caught me just as I was about to watch a new hashtag brooklyn99 tonight on NBC. Oh this shirt? Just something my pal Jorma made me. pic.twitter.com/P5v1AwlDgr

Yeah, well, you weren’t alone. Many folks lost their cool over it. I’m starting to think I might, in fact, let Andy steal a cookie straight from my hand.
