In December, the trio, alongside player Chris Parnell, wrote and recorded "Lazy Sunday", a short rap song. Samberg and Parnell adopt the brash personas of hardcore rappers; the song follows their quest to achieve their "ultimate goal" of attending a matinee of the fantasy film "". It was recorded on a laptop in their offices at "SNL", and was shot across Manhattan the next day. In the moments preceding the show's live performance and broadcast, the team learned from Michaels that "Lazy Sunday" would be shown on that night's show. The three comedians were very worried about how the video would be received by the studio audience.
