"There was was a bit of giggling, but we were really reaching for those '90s R&B videos with full sincerity. And then when we got anything on the air, I was surprised." Rudolph, meanwhile, calls the digital short the "gift that keeps on giving" and remembers the "palpable joy" they took in filming it. Like when we got hired at SNL, I was surprised. Looking back, Samberg says he remains surprised that "D*ck in a Box" was actually shown on television. Of course, the uncensored version was later released online, although Timberlake maintains that the bleeped version is funnier. In a 2020 interview, Timberlake revealed that the FCC tried to stop the video from airing, and only gave them the go-ahead when SNL producers agreed to bleep the "D" word.

A dead-on parody of early '90s R&B tunes, the song and its accompanying video became an instant internet sensation and led to multiple skits featuring Samberg and Timberlake's mustachioed alter egos. That's when he and his Lonely Island cohorts, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, debuted their immortal digital short, " D*ck in a Box," which also starred Rudolph, Kristen Wiig and that week's host, Justin Timberlake. It makes you feel good about yourself, and then I don't do it again for like four or five years."įifteen years ago, Samberg baked up something very different - and very special - for SNL's 2006 Christmas episode. I do like to make a pie sometimes from scratch. "Holiday times I get in the kitchen, but it makes me cranky. "I like to bake every once in a while," Rudolph says. The hosts could use some time in cooking school themselves: Both say that holiday baking isn't exactly a family pastime in their respective households. But it's that summer camp kind of intensity where it's just this group for a bit of a stretch, and you don't want to go back to school."Įnter a serious competition kitchen on Peacock's Baking It. you get deeply invested right away and you have some of your favorites and then sometimes people surprise you." Adds Samberg, "As it got deeper and deeper in, it became more of, 'I don't want them to go!' It gets a little more emotional and intense than you would expect. "We fell in love with everybody pretty quickly - much faster than anticipated," Rudolph reveals. But they are the ones who have to ask the losing teams to leave the baking premises, and both admit to finding it difficult to say goodbye to their personal favorites.
It should be noted that the choice of who to chop isn't ultimately up to them: Instead a quartet of kindly - but ruthless - baking grandmothers get to declare the winners and losers of every round.

Of course, hosting a reality series isn't all singing and dancing - Rudolph and Samberg also have to give the hook to seven of the eight teams of two hoping to win the $50,000 cash prize and title of Baking It champion. Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg are the hosts of the new Peacock series Baking It. As a baker, I'm probably like a one out of ten." "I would say Nick is a ten out of ten for master crafting. But Samberg adds they'd be at a loss if their inter-show competition involved any kind of power tools or, for that matter, cooking utensils. "Andy is a recording artist and Nick is not, so I think we're good," Rudolph says of how they'd fare in a singing showdown with their crafty rivals. Rudolph and Samberg's musical skills set them apart from Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, the co-hosts of NBC's Making It series that Baking It is spun-off from. (Watch them trade verses in our video interview above.) "There is quite a bit of singing," Rudolph admits to Yahoo Entertainment, right before she and Samberg demonstrate their musical bonafides. As the hosts of Peacock's new holiday-themed competitive reality series, Baking It, the duo frequently burst out into impromptu - and entirely improvised - songs. Strike up the band, because former Saturday Night Live castmates Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg are back together again.
