Andy Samberg Reveals He Almost ‘Flopped Out’ Of His Short Shorts During Charli XCX ‘Here I Go’ Sketch on ‘SNL’

Andy Samberg said he almost 'flopped out' of his short shorts during the viral 'Here I Go' suburban snitching video bit with Charli XCX on 'SNL.'

Samberg told Meyers that despite his regular cameos on the show this season, he wasn’t slated to be on SNL the week of Nov. 16 until he heard Charli would be pulling double-duty, noting that he and his Lonely Island crew are “huge fans” of the singer. Knowing Charli would be doing heavy lifting on the episode, Samberg said the K- pop-inspired “retro funk pop” song — written during last year’s writers and actor’s strike — made the most sense since it would require a bit less of a time commitment from the singer. He also revealed that when he sent the song to Charli it originally didn’t have the wife character in it, but after she heard it and loved it he added a bit in for the “365” singer that come after he croons, “now make way for my wife.” In the bit, Charli, dressed in a yellow pant suit, sings, “Now hold up, wait a minute/ Cuz I’m about to snitch like I invented it/ They gonna roll up, any minute/ I pay my motherf–kin’ taxes now I’m cashing in on everything,” leading to a sweet duet portion where the two serenade each other about how they show love by “calling the cops instead of sex.”
