Andy Samberg Says Amy Adams Refused To Perform 'Very Dirty' Song On 'SNL' For This Noble Reason
HuffPost
"She was like, 'That's really funny. I can't do that,'" the comedian recalled.
Andy Samberg says Amy Adams turned down filming a “very dirty” song for a “Saturday Night Live” skit once — but for the sweetest reason.
While appearing on an episode of “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers” podcast released on Nov. 4, Samberg — who is one-third of the Lonely Island comedy trio alongside Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone — revealed why Adams refused to do the NSFW song while hosting “SNL” in March 2008.
The comedian explained that Adams decided against it to protect the young fans of her film, “Enchanted.” At the time, the movie, in which Adams played princess-to-be Giselle, had just been released months before she appeared on the late night sketch show.
“I’m not going to go into great detail about it, but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams, and it was very dirty,” Samberg said of the scrapped tune. “It was basically, like, we were both really old and we were having a picnic, like, old people couple, and one of us gets stung by a scorpion.”
“And then I’m dying or something, and the one lament on my deathbed is that we didn’t explore things more sexually in our life, and it’s this huge up anthem about that,” he continued.
