Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island Make a Hilarious Comeback on SNL with 'Sushi Glory Hole'

After a six-year hiatus, Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island have returned to Saturday Night Live with a new digital short that is both outrageous and memorable. Titled "Sushi Glory Hole," the comedic duo has pushed the boundaries of sketch comedy once again.

In this latest installment, Samberg and Schaffer portray chain-smoking entrepreneurs eager to change the way we consume sushi. The absurd premise kicks off with a relatable dilemma: what does a hungry person do when they fail to eat? Samberg humorously suggests, "You can’t be eating omakase in the middle of the street,” to which the pair proposes a solution that is as bizarre as it is funny: find a sushi-sized hole in a bathroom wall and indulge in sushi effortlessly.

The sketch draws laughter—and a touch of horror—from fellow cast members Maya Rudolph, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang, who play potential investors caught off-guard by the outrageous pitch. The duo tries to convince them that “you have nothing to fear… sushi glory hole is a good idearrrr. And it’s not weird!” However, viewers—and the SNL cast—might beg to differ.

This humorous return marks the first digital short since Season 43, when The Lonely Island crafted the follow-up to their iconic piece, “Natalie's Rap” featuring Natalie Portman. Digital shorts have been a signature part of Sandy Samberg's tenure on SNL, stretching back to classics like "Lazy Sunday" and "D*** in a Box," which charmed audiences during his seven seasons with the show that ended in 2012.

"Sushi Glory Hole" is not just a blast from the past; it signifies a potential resurgence for The Lonely Island on SNL as they bring back elements that fans have dearly missed. With Season 50 underway, many are eagerly wondering if this is only the beginning of more zany sketches to come. Are we ready for what’s next? Buckle up, folks—The Lonely Island is back, and they’re not holding back!
