Amy Adams demonstrated one of many first guidelines of comedy: Know your viewers.
Former “Saturday Night Live” forged member Seth Meyers, together with fellow “SNL” alums Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, took time throughout “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast” to break down a track from a 2008 episode hosted by Adams.
Whereas discussing the track, Samberg revealed that they initially had one other concept for that week’s digital brief, however Adams declined to take part.
“I’m not gonna 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,” he defined.
“I know that’s kind of s—-y to not say what the premise was, but it was basically like we were both really old, and we were having a picnic, [an] 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 anthem about that.”
He continued, “We played the beginning of it for her and read a bunch of the lyrics, and she thought it was very funny, and she was so nice as always. We love Amy. She’s a genius, and she was like, ‘That’s really funny. I can’t do that. Little girls are so obsessed with ‘Enchanted’ right now. They will find this, and it will be scarring for them, and I just can’t mix that right now.’”
As an alternative, the group got here up with the sketch “Hero Song,” that includes Samberg as a wannabe vigilante hero like Batman in “The Dark Knight.” Because the sketch performs out, he stops Adams’ character from being mugged, however is then pummeled by the mugger.

“And it was very instructive for me. It’s not something I even ever thought about in our line of work. You know what I mean? Of like, she actually has an obligation and a responsibility to those kids, and she took it really seriously. And I remember being really impressed by that.”
Representatives for Adams didn’t instantly reply to Fox Information Digital’s request for touch upon the proposed sketch.
Adams went on to host the present once more in 2014.
