The Lonely Island Make Surprise Return to ‘SNL’ With New Rap Song ‘Sushi Glory Hole’: Watch

The Lonely Island returned to "Saturday Night Live" on Oct. 5 with the SNL Digital Short "Sushi Glory Hole." Watch the rap sketch here.

In the trio’s first song on the long-running show since 2018, group members Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer (minus Jorma Taccone, who is credited as a writer) reunited for a SNL Digital Short titled “Sushi Glory Hole,” in which the two sharply-dressed comedians pitch skeptical investors (played by Maya Rudolph, Bowen Yang and Kenan Thompson) on a fishy business idea: “Sushi being fed through a hole in the wall.” Samberg and Schaffer, donning 1980s-looking business suits, then play a cassette and begin rapping about their seemingly brilliant idea, as the scene cuts to SNL cast member James Austin Johnson dropping to his knees in a bathroom stall to receive a piece of raw fish on rice through a small hole. The pitch ultimately fails and Yang’s character is seen getting into his car, only to be surprised by Samberg and Schaffer, who are waiting for him in the back seat as a creepy last-ditch effort.
