An SNL Digital Short is one in a series of comedic and often musical video shorts created for airing on NBC's Saturday Night Live, generally produced and written by The Lonely Island (Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer and Andy Samberg), though originated by Adam McKay, in collaboration with SNL hosts, writers, and cast members. The segments were originally recorded with consumer grade digital video cameras and edited on personal computers. It is usual for the episode's hosts and musical guests (the latter on rarer occasions) to take part in the episode's short, and several shorts have included celebrity cameos.
SNL Digital Shorts (Season 12)
Natalie's Rap 2 0.0
Air date: 2018-02-03
Runtime: 3 min
Overview: A sequel to the original Natalie's Rap from Season 31, Natalie Portman is interviewed by Beck Bennett, to which she responds with a rap about motherhood and the Star Wars prequels (holding Alex Moffat at gunpoint while dressed as her character Padme Amidala). At the end, she impales Bennett's head with a Time's Up pin and throws him out of the window. Andy Samberg appears as his character, Carl, from the first short (with his scenes filmed in Los Angeles outside the ArcLight Hollywood). The day after the episode aired, The Lonely Island confirmed that they wrote the sketch.
