Amy Adams Didn’t Want to Traumatize ‘Enchanted’ Fans With ‘Very Dirty’ Lonely Island ‘SNL’ Song

Amy Adams declined to perform a raunchy Lonely Island song during her 'Saturday Night Live' hosting gig in 2008 out of loyalty to Disney fans.

Andy Samberg, a cast member on SNL at the time, pitched Adams on the idea of a sketch that revolved around an elderly couple making some last-ditch sexual explorations before one of them dies. Adams’ SNL debut featured the actress doing impressions of Ellen Pompeo and Heidi Klum, playing dumb in traffic school, and attempting to mend a marriage as a couples therapist. In the sketch, Samberg played a character so disenchanted by the state of crime in New York that he attempted to become a Batman-like figure, trekking around the city and rescuing people from violence.
