Drew Barrymore had Maya Rudolph as a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show and recalled she had to beg to do the Saturday Night Live digital short “Body Fuzion.”
The daytime show host recalled that back in 2007, she had to plead to do the skit that parodied ’80s workout videos. Lonely Island, consisting of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer, produced the skit that almost didn’t happen.
“I remember that week that Akiva, Jorma, and Andy were like, ‘You know what? We aren’t going to do a short this week,'” Barrymore recalled. “And I was like, no, no, no, no.”
Rudolph noted that “those were early days before they had to do one every single week because they were so good.”
“I kept begging,” Barrymore added. “I would go into their office every single day and I was like, I know it’s me again.”

Andy Samberg skyrocketed to fame as part of The Lonely Island, the comedy trio responsible for creating "SNL Digital Shorts" for "Saturday Night Live." After the online sensation that was "Lazy Sunday," the late night sketch series was ushered into the internet age with one of the earliest viral videos.
Following the success of the "Chronicles of Narnia" rap, "SNL" fans would immediately cheer whenever they saw "An SNL Digital Short" precede a pre-recorded sketch, because it meant Andy Samberg, Akiva Shaffer, and Jorma Taccone were about to give us something great, especially when it comes to music videos. The "SNL" shorts and The Lonely Island's hilarious hip-hop sensibilities gave us such treasures as "J*** in My Pants," "I Just Had Sex," and "I'm on a Boat".
