Meyers explained that when celebrities need to show another side of themselves in The Sketch, it’s a recipe for disaster. The host of the late-night show said:
A lot of times actors come in and they need to show what they’re doing and it turns out that the explanation for why we haven’t noticed it yet is because it’s bad and nobody likes it.
Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone agreed with that sentiment, which is why everyone was concerned at first when Natalie Portman said she was looking to rap on the show. The actor said:
We were very nervous when she said, “I rap. ” We thought, “Oh my God. “
However, once Natalie Portman started spitting out a “dirty” verse from Lil’ Kim, the guys quickly knew they had something special on their hands and could definitely do the task. It’s a golden comedy, to say the least. Andy Samberg said:
And we all started laughing until we died and thinking: “yes, this is going to work, no one will see it coming and without delay we start writing it”.
