Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island Return to SNL With First New Digital Short in 6 Years — ‘Sushi Glory Hole’
The Lonely Island is at it again. Six years after the comedy trio last graced our screens with a digital short, Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend with their most profane music video yet.
From the minds behind “J*zz in My Pants” comes… “Sushi Glory Hole.” (Yes, really.) The sketch casts Samberg and Schaffer as chain-smoking pitchmen who are ready to revolutionize sushi consumption. Because what’s a hungry man to do when he forgets to eat? “You can’t be eating omakase in the middle of the street,” Samberg points out. So, “you head to a club, hit the bathroom stall, find a sushi-sized hole in the bathroom wall,” and presto! Problem solved!

Maya Rudolph, Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang look downright disgusted as the investors attempting to escape the pitch — but Samberg and Schaffer’s alter-egos are nothing if not persistent. They assure the trio that “you have nothing to fear… sushi glory hole is a good idearrrr. And it’s not weird!” But it is weird. So very weird. See the sketch — which was held for 12:50 am ET — for yourself below:
“Sushi Glory Hole” marks the first digital short since Season 43, when The Lonely Island returned to helm the follow-up to the Natalie Portman classic, “Natalie’s Rap.” Digital shorts — including such gems as “Lazy Sunday” and “D–k in a Box” — were a staple during Samberg’s seven-season run on SNL, which came to an end in 2012. This latest one is the seventh since his series departure… and perhaps only the first to air as part of this milestone Season 50? #FingersCrossed
