About

“Lettuce” is the first SNL Digital Shorts ever aired.

The video, which eventually appears to be a commercial for the vegetable, features two friends (played by Will Forte and Andy Samberg) who grieve the loss of an unnamed friend while casually munching on a couple of large iceberg lettuces.

[Dissolve to the exterior, apartment building. Pan down to stoop, where Andy sits glumly until Will appears from right and sits beside him]

WILL: Hey.

ANDY: Hey.

WILL: I got your message. I'm so sorry.

ANDY: Thanks. I just keep trying to tell myself he's in a better place, you know?

WILL: Hey, you know, it's all right to feel sad. But the pain goes away. [Holds up a head of lettuce and takes a bite]

ANDY: Yeah. I just wish there was a way to make it go away faster. [Also holds up a lettuce and takes a bite]

WILL: I wish it would, too, bro. I wish it would, too. [Bites into his lettuce]

ANDY: Every time the phone rings, I keep thinking it's going to be him, you know? And then I remember. [Bites into his lettuce]

WILL: It's okay. Lеt it out. [Bites into his lettuce ]

ANDY: [His mouth full of lеttuce as he speaks] I must look like such an idiot.

WILL: Why? Because you care about something, and you're not afraid to show it? That's not an idiot. That's a hero.

ANDY: What did I do to deserve you? [Bites into his lettuce]

WILL: [Bites into his lettuce] You treated me like a friend.

ANDY: I don't know what to say. [Bites into his lettuce]

WILL: Sometimes, you don't need to say anything.

[They continue to bite into their heads of lettuce together, as a stranger walks past from the left, also biting into a head of lettuce]

ANNOUNCER: Through good times and bad–lettuce.

What was the pitching process like?

We knew if we had to pitch it and go through the table and get a budget, we weren’t going to be allowed to do it because we were so new. It would have cost a lot of money and been a big deal, so we just decided to skip all that. And a few weeks later it got on air. But it was like, “Well, you handed...

How did the shorts come to be?

The producers, Higgins and Shoemaker, told us they were always looking for pretape material to change over the sets and costumes. We went out with Will Forte and did the first digital short, which was “Lettuce,” basically a very dramatic conversation conducted while really vigorously eating giant he...
