Andy Samberg won an Emmy for his "Dick in the Box" skit with Justin Timberlake. So naturally he had to start the season off right with not only a funny rap skit, but the usual surprise guest appearances in the amateur music video. This time the song was about the notoriously homophobic Iranian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Samberg flipped the script on him by writing a love song about how they could be together. Adam Levine from Maroon 5 sings the chorus, Fred Armisen dons a beard to impersonate Mahmoud, and Jake Gyllenhaal makes a split second appearance to point at his equally thick beard and note the resemblance. If only for the homophobic-jab, this skit is the best of Samberg's that I've seen yet.
This is way better than watching that pathetic display on Letterman with Paris Hilton.
