Amy Adams says she refused a “graphic” sketch idea while hosting “Saturday Night Live” in 2008, according to remarks she makes in an interview with Seth Meyers on “Late Night.” Adams recounts that Andy Samberg proposed a sketch she described as involving explicit sexual content. She says her decision was aimed at protecting younger viewers who were watching her 2007 film “Enchanted,” which had released in theaters about four months earlier.
Adams explains that she did not want to portray a princess character in a way that would be inappropriate for the audience the film reached, particularly “young girls that were watching” “Enchanted.” In her telling, she provides only a general gist of what was proposed rather than details. The account is presented as a behind-the-scenes example of Adams setting boundaries on material she considered unsuitable for her role and the expectations created by her family-oriented movie. The interview frames the rejection as a choice she made at the time of the “SNL” episode.
