While U2<\/strong> frontman\u00a0Bono<\/strong>\u00a0seems to have a good sense of humor, apparently it only goes so far, as comedian Seth Meyers<\/strong> found out when he made one too many jokes about the Broadway musical <\/span>Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark<\/span><\/em>, which Bono and The Edge<\/strong> wrote the music and lyrics for.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the new <\/span>The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>, Meyers recounts getting\u00a0called out by Bono for harping on the failed musical, which closed in 2014 after losing millions of dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis might already be lost to history, but in the early runs of <\/span>Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark<\/span><\/em>, a lot of Spider-Men were falling from the rafters and hurting themselves super bad,\u201d Meyers recalled. \u201cLiving in New York City at the time, that was pretty much all that the <\/span>New York Post<\/span><\/em> was writing about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meyers noted he was \u201ccompletely enamored with the story”\u00a0and wrote \u201cway too many sketches\u201d about\u00a0it\u00a0for <\/span>Saturday Night Live<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0which\u00a0Bono wasn\u2019t too happy about.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI got an email from Bono \u2014 this is not a joke \u2014 inviting me to the premiere of \u2018Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,\u2019\u201d Meyers said. \u201cHe said something along the lines of, \u2018You\u2019ve had your fun. You\u2019ve told your jokes. Now come see the real thing.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meyers wound up going opening night and\u00a0says he didn’t\u00a0witness any injured actors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody walked out as they entered,\u201d he said. \u201cI will say, half of the audience \u2014 and I\u2019m not going to say which half I was in \u2014 I think was a little bummed out that nobody fell from the rafters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast<\/em> has Meyers,\u00a0Andy Samberg<\/strong>, Akiva Schaffer<\/strong>\u00a0and Jorma Taccone<\/strong> reflecting on the popular SNL<\/em> Digital Shorts put out by Lonely Island. A new episode airs every Monday.<\/p>\n
