Occasionally on Late Night, Seth Meyers resuscitates one of the sketches cut from Saturday Night Live while he was a writer there. "Some are cut unfairly, and some, like tonight's, were cut for cause," he said in introducing "Wanna Come With?" — a skit that centers on the awkwardness of after-work drinks, "featuring the Second Chance Players, special guests Kenan Thompson and Greta Gerwig, and starring Andy Samberg's hair from 2006."

Samberg will make you laugh — he certainly made Meyers break character — but yeah, you can see why it didn't make the cut. Watch below. Peter Weber
