SNL saw an early appearance from musical guest Rihanna. In fact she was the first face to appear on the show after the host finished his opening monologue, as the show jumped directly into a digital short in which Rihanna sang her way through robbing a bank while holding a machine gun, as a ridiculously dressed Andy Samberg helped her with the heist and provided backing vocals.

At one Rihanna sang the improbable lyrics “Just imagine that everyone’s naked. Uh oh, boner alert.” – and then shot Samberg in the foot. Rihanna may have set a record for earliest appearance for a musical guest in a Saturday Night Live episode. Rihanna is still set to perform a pair of songs later in the episode. What the super-early debut of the Digital Short says about the prospects for the rest of the episode, well that’s another story.
