Shy Ronnie Surprise Appearance at Santigold Concert, Best of Lonely Island Live

Andy Samberg may have left Saturday Night Live, but that doesn't mean his characters are gone for good.  A few weeks ago (I think it was on May 14, a few days before his final SNL episode), Andy's Shy Ronnie character made a surprise appearance at a free Santigold concert in New York.  (Santigold was featured on the song "After Party" on The Lonely Island's second album Incredibad.)  Check out the clip below.  As usual, Ronnie is quite shy at first, but eventually (around the 3:30 mark) starts laying down the raps.

This isn't the first time Andy has made a surprise concert appearance to reprise one of his Digital Short characters.  See more after the jump!

Rihanna Returns to SNL Tonight!

UPDATE Shy Ronnie did not appear on the show tonight.

Superbowl-winning NY Giants quarterback Eli Manning is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight with musical guest Rihanna.  And while most are excited to see the football star make his SNL debut, we're actually more excited to see Rihanna back on the show, in hopes that she and Andy Samberg team up for another Shy Ronnie Digital Short.  Rihanna has been a musical guest on SNL twice so far, once in 2009 and then again in 2010, and each time she and Andy made a hilarious Shy Ronnie short.  In the shorts, Rihanna plays herself and Andy plays the titular Shy Ronnie, a rapper who is too shy to rap in front of Rihanna, but as soon as she leaves the room he raps really well.   Check out the two Shy Ronnie shorts below, and  be sure to tune in tonight to see if they'll be a Shy Ronnie 3!
