Andy Samberg is One Take Tony (SNL)

You may recall the work of Humphrey Bogart, Harry Belafonte, and Fred Astaire, but you probably don't remember One-Take Tony.



So this is Andy's largest offering this week (with only two). Andy often takes it easy for a week after a big release like a musical digital short (but if the guest host demands Andy, then he's on, so Ed Helms probably wasn't doing a ton of demanding who to work with).

Anyway, the end result is just the two skits (this one and "Song Memories").

I hope Andy pulls out all the stops for Justin Timberlake in the season finale next week. (AKA a musical digital short.)

I'm not sure if they'll do a third version of the characters from Junk in a Box and Mother Lover, but we'll see. It obviously won't be from the Turtleneck and Chain album (since there is no Timberlake song on it other than Mother Lover).

That also makes me wonder if Andy will turn any other Turtleneck and Chain songs into digital shorts (aka music videos). They could release them this summer on Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show, or they could wait for next season of SNL (or both). There are a lot of songs on that album that deserve music videos, and they only did three on SNL so far (I Just Had Sex, The Creep, and Jack Sparrow). Plus We're Back on Jimmy Fallon.

- What did you think of the episode of SNL this week?

- Do you think Justin Timberlake will do a music video with Andy next week? What will it be?

- Will TLI make more digital shorts from Turtleneck and Chain? Will they be on Jimmy Fallon, SNL, or both?

- Will Andy and Akiva even be back on SNL next season?

Leave any comments with your thoughts!

Enjoy!
