Yes, He's Jewish

Another popular google search for Andy Samberg is "is andy samberg jewish?" The answer is yes, he is. Here's your proof:

"Andy’s grandfather, Alfred J. Marrow, was once the executive chair of the American Jewish Congress..." This means, by default, that his mother is Jewish. And it was also revealed that his father is Jewish. (http://www.juf.org/tweens/celebrity.aspx?id=25404)

Andy hosted the Jewish United Fund's Youth Leadership Division's "Big Event" in November of last year. (http://www.juf.org/yld/big_event_intro.aspx)

And here are a few videos making fun of it:
