Lady Gaga, Andy Samberg Perform “Dick in a Box” and More of The Lonely Island’s Songs for ‘SNL50’ Concert
Suddenly, it’s 2006 again.
Lady Gaga took the stage at SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Friday night to perform “Shallow” from Bradley Cooper’s 2018 film A Star Is Born. She was joined by SNL alum Andy Samberg, who was comically filling in for Cooper.

Gaga quickly interrupted Samberg and suggested they perform something more in his “vocal range.” Samberg mentioned: “There is one song, but Justin [Timberlake’s] not here to do his parts!” Gaga responded: “Andy, don’t be a bitch. I’ll do it with you.”
They then sang a slower version, with Gaga playing the piano, of “Dick in a Box,” a fan-favorite SNL sketch and The Lonely Island song that aired during a holiday episode of the comedy sketch series in 2006. The performance earned laughs from Colin Jost, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Jessica Parker and more in the audience. The original sketch starred the comedy duo, Justin Timberlake and Samberg.
Gaga and Samberg were joined by Chris Parnell, Bad Bunny, T-Pain and Jorma Taccone, who was a member of Samberg’s The Lonely Island to sing melodies of “Motherlover,” a follow-up sketch with Timberlake and Samberg which premiered in 2009 in addition to “I’m On A Boat,” “I Just Had Sex,” “Lazy Sunday,” TV Off” and “Jizz in My Pants.” All while a photo of Lorne Michaels appeared on the screen in the background to close the act.
Other memorable moments from the anniversary concert included Will Ferrell singing “Not Like Us,” Miley Cyrus shouting out Paul Rudd during her performance of “Flowers” and Jimmy Fallon opening the show as its host with a special number of “Blues Brothers.”
SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration will air on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC to keep the celebration going.
