Deep in the recesses of Saturday Night Live's 34th season premiere came another "Digital Short" from Andy "Dick in a Box" Samberg.
It attracted possibly one zillionth the notice on a night when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler stole the show from the top with their dead-on sendups of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.
Still, Samberg's bizarro musical turn as emperor of the 3022 "Space Olympics" from Zargon gets the silver medal from this judge. The visuals are out of this world and the idea alone at least is out of the box. Watch and listen if you'd like on this crystal clear, "wide-screen" reprise.
