Check below for the interview with Bobby Moynihan about the Sarah Palin rap. Here are clips from the documentary they aired on NBC...
First the promo...
"Saturday Night Live in the 2000s: Time And Again" airs on Thursday, April 15 9pm/8c
Andy's TV Guide photo is featured, and there's a still of him young and shaggy-tastic at about 28 seconds in.
==========
The story behind the Lazy Sunday from Saturday Night Live In the 2000s: Time and Again.
Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer talk about the making of two scenes from Lazy Sunday. Andy's in the Lazy Sunday clips. I wish they would show more of the interviews online.
=========================
Chris Parnell shares some never-before-seen dress rehearsal raps in Saturday Night Live In the 2000s: Time and Again.
Hahahaha. So the way Lazy Sunday came about is that Lonely Island pitched Chris to do one of these Weekend Update raps with him, and Chris sugggested that they just do a digital short like LI's previous online vids. And thus they went out to film Lazy Sunday.
=================
The backstory of the Sarah Palin rap from Saturday Night Live In the 2000s: Time and Again.
Hahahaha. Andy is one of the eskimos. Reportedly, Amy previously revealed in an interview that she sat down with Andy to get some rapping pointers for this rap. Apparently, Amy had this rap prepared, and as soon as she saw an opportunity (on Friday, the day before), she busted it out and sold everyone on it!
Bobby Moynihan played the moose and got shot by Amy Poehler. Nice!
========================
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake shed light on the conception of the sketch in Saturday Night Live In the 2000s: Time and Again.
=================
Amy and Maya reveal the backstory of Bronx Beat from Saturday Night Live In the 2000s: Time and Again.

Bobby Moynihan - In The Line
In summer 2008, Moynihan had a supporting role in the popular web-series The Line, an online video project funded by Lorne Michaels' production company, directed by SNL head writer Seth Meyers, and starring SNL cast members Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis.
Bobby plays one of the Telepathic Triplets of Cybar. This helped him get to know the SNL cast before he got his audition on SNL. It makes sense, because Bobby had a huge Web short resume at this point.
This role was key for Bobby Moynihan getting onto SNL.
EPISODE 1: 1st in Line
Josh is first in line for the long awaited final chapter of FutureSpace! Only 11 days early! With Duffy hanging with him the wait should be simple. No one expects the Telepathic Triplets of Cybar whose mission is to be first in line at all costs.
EPISODE 2: 5-Minute Rule
Trapped by the 5 minute rule! Josh finds that somethings have changed since his college days. Lacking food & soap Josh's girlfriend shows up with a unwelcome surprise - her old college study partner!
Bill Hader's ex-girlfriend is played by Liz Cackowski, who is Akiva Schaffer's girlfriend.
EPISODE 3: The Spoiler
There's crazy, and then there's "line crazy." Josh runs out for water, Duffy channels his animal instincts, and "The Spoiler" rears his ugly head. It's a dangerous day to be a delivery man, and it's a hard day in: "THE LINE."
EPISODE 4: Quality Time
Can you be a good father in 5 minute or less? It's Duffy's ultimate test, juggling quality time with his son and devotion to the line. It's madness but someone's got to do it.
EPISODE 5: Trivia Takedown
Bill Hadar (Pineapple Express, Saturday Night Live, Superbad) & Joe Lo Truglio put everything on the line when Bill pits his trivia knowledge against the mysterious stranger (Jon Glaser). Can they keep 1st place or will they be shoved to the back of the line.
EPISODE 6: Fight 4 Your Right
The Spoiler returns with even deadlier information. Nerdier than his first appearance. It's a sequel not to be missed. Who will stand up to save the day?
EPISODE 7: Premiere
SEASON FINALE: 11 days of madness for Josh and 1 giant win for dorks. But, Josh has the most difficult test he has ever faced before him. How strong is his need to see FutureSpace?
Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan entertains Andy Samberg
Fred Armisen took a picture...
I don't know what Bobby is doing here, but Andy seems pretty entertained by it. On the other side of this group, behind me, was Bill Murray. He was great and amazing and really sweet.
Thanks Fred!

Bobby Moynihan Featured in USA Today
Meet these 'SNL' up-and-comers
By Gary Strauss, USA TODAY
Saturday Night Live captured some of its biggest audiences in nearly
a quarter of a century when it focused on the gaffes and foibles of
the 2008 presidential and vice presidential candidates.
But former cast member Tina Fey's memorable spoofs of vice
presidential candidate Sarah Palin are over, as is the seven-year
run of multitalented cast member and new mom Amy Poehler.
And mining Obamaland for comedy probably will wait until after
Barack Obama takes office in January.
So now what?
"We had a great run. We had the feeling we were at the center of
things," says executive producer Lorne Michaels. "How do you follow
that? You don't. There's still an enormous amount of interest
(in politics). But you go week to week, and see what happens."
For the season's 14 remaining fresh episodes, that includes
incorporating three new SNL cast members — and possibly one or two
more players to be named later — into the 90-minute skit show.
"The staying power has always been the cast and the writing. We're
just in a rebuilding period," Michaels says. "I believe this cast is
confident and good, but we can definitely add another woman and guy
in the spring."
Abby Elliott, 21
•Comedic pedigree: Daughter of former SNL cast member Chris Elliott;
granddaughter of Bob Elliott (of Bob & Ray fame). She trained with
The Groundlings theater group and is a member of improv/sketch company
Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, co-founded by Poehler. Provided
voice-overs for Fox's animated King of the Hill.
• Says Michaels: "She was in the last set of auditions. The fear was that
she might be too young. But so was Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.
She did some really nice impressions, and her sense of humor was
clearly there."
Bobby Moynihan, 31
•Comedic pedigree: The John Belushi look-alike joined earlier
in SNL's 34th season. He's another member of the
Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and a member of former
SNLer Horatio Sanz's King of Improv tour. He has been on
NBC's Late Night With Conan O'Brien and appears in
2009 movies When in Rome, This Side of the Truth
and Mystery Team.
•Says Michaels: "I think he's the real thing. I looked at
him last year. This year (during auditions), he knocked it
out of the park. He has incredible poise and confidence."
Michaela Watkins, 36
•Comedic pedigree: Member of The Groundlings comedy troupe;
former regional theater actor after graduating from Boston
University. She has appeared in several TV shows, including CBS
sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine and Showtime's
Californication. Upcoming role in 2009 theatrical release
The Prankster.
•Says Michaels: "She has a very nice precision, and there's real
intelligence to her comedy. She did some smart, evolved
characters for her audition."

Bobby Moynihan - Was in 3 skits on Saturday
Bobby Moynihan was doing a little better. He was in 3 skits on Saturday.
Bobby's three skits...
1. Cold Open: Blagojevich Hearing
Jim Downey ... Announcer (voice)
Will Forte ... Evan Bayh
Bill Hader ... Robert Byrd
Darrell Hammond ... Christopher Dodd
Bobby Moynihan ... Richard Shelby
Jason Sudeikis ... Rod Blagojevich
Kristen Wiig ... Patti Blagojevich
Casey Wilson ... Elizabeth Dole
Recurring Characters: Robert Byrd, Evan Bayh, Christopher Dodd, Elizabeth Dole.
2. Wedding Toasts
Hugh Laurie ... Bob Kemp
Fred Armisen ... Guest
Abby Elliott ... Tina Culhane
Will Forte ... Guest
Bobby Moynihan ... Guest
Andy Samberg ... David Culhane
Jason Sudeikis ... Emcee
Michaela Watkins ... Aunt Joanie
Kristen Wiig ... Gayle
Summary: Offbeat members of the Culhane family continuously interrupt the emcee (Jason Sudeikis) at the wedding reception of David (Andy Samberg) and Tina (Abby Elliot).
3. An SNL Digital Short: Cookies
Hugh Laurie ... Tom
Fred Armisen ... Marcus
Abby Elliott ... Lisa
Will Forte ... Employee
Bobby Moynihan ... Employee
Jason Sudeikis ... Employee
Kenan Thompson ... Employee
Michaela Watkins ... Employee
Summary: As the boss (Hugh Laurie) announces impending company layoffs, employee Marcus (Fred Armisen) can't keep his hands off what he thinks are delicious cookies.
------------------
So is Bobby getting annoying? A few people said that all his characters are the same gay-man voice, just dressed differently. Is this true?
Was his Lenny character from Of Mice and Men the same voice? Was his son of Vinny character the same voice? We don't think so.
But, yes, most of his characters do use a gay voice. Let's give it some time and see if he's got any funny macho or slob characters. Take the Wedding Toast for example. I thought Bobby was the funniest one there, and he had the shortest time in that skit, and he wasn't being a gay character.
So I think Bobby is going to go places.

Bobby Moynihan and Paul Rudd help turn SNL into Boys Town
If Saturday Night Live couldn't find a way to live up to their promise "to have Michael Phelps shirtless in every sketch" earlier this year, it seemed a little more likely that they could get us some Shirts-Off Time with good sport Paul Rudd hosting last night. They went even further than that in the digital short that featured Rudd in the buff being painted by Andy Samberg.
But who would have known that Rudd's good looks would have been enough to give most of the episode an undercurrent of bro-on-bro action? Whether it was a family dinner scene that may have broke the record for males kissing in an SNL sketch, rolling out newcomer Bobby Moynihan as Snagglepuss on Weekend Update or just a punchline involving a cellphone vibrating while inside Rudd's behind, there was definitely something in the air last night.
As icing on an already pink cake, Update ended with a surprise appearance from Justin Timberlake, who made up for having to cancel on hosting next week by once again lighting up the show and performing a whole episode in two minutes, culminating with him performing "SexyBack" atop the Update desk.
Some questions about last night's show: did the first cold opener after the election feature Joe Biden and not Obama because the show's considering a new impressionist for the president-elect? Is next week's hosting/musical combination of Tim McGraw and Ludacris the starkest contrast between two guests since Steve Forbes and Rage Against the Machine? And where were the new ladies at?
