Ep 26. Andy Samberg/St. Vincent

In the 26th episode of the 39th season of Saturday Night Live, Andy Samberg hosted and was joined by musical guest St. Vincent. The episode opened with a sketch featuring a parody of Fox and Friends, with the hosts discussing current events and making outrageous claims. Samberg's monologue included a comedic rap about how long it had been since he left the show, complete with references to his Lonely Island days.

One of the standout sketches of the night featured a fake commercial for a new brand of birth control called NuvaBling, which featured tiny diamonds embedded in each pill. The sketch poked fun at both the pharmaceutical industry and the trend of "luxury" versions of everyday products.

Another notable sketch involved a group of friends playing a game of "Ex Porn Star," where they tried to guess the former profession of a person based on their current job. Samberg played a character who had appeared in an adult film, which led to some uncomfortable moments for the other players.

The musical performance by St. Vincent featured her unique blend of indie rock and avant-garde pop. She performed her hit single "Digital Witness" and the song "Birth in Reverse" from her album "St. Vincent."

Overall, the episode was filled with clever sketches and strong performances from the cast and guest host. Saturday Night Live continued to showcase why it has remained a beloved institution of American comedy for several decades.
