BLOODLUST Hanley, Samberg, Dratch, Poehler

Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, and several others all made it out to the Ziegfeld Theater Monday night in support of the upcoming release of Paul Thomas Anderson's hotly anticipated There Will Be Blood. When toothy-yet-scrumptious Andy Samberg and rubber-faced Bill Hader, sauntered by, Radar hoped for a follow up to Samberg's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad serenade or else his famously wrapped package routine. So, Andy, are you enjoying your time off from the show? "I like it if it allows me to see this movie." Boring. Well, what are you doing with all of your free time? "We're putting together a dessert shop. Bill and I are making confections."

As we pondered whether he might get Chris Parnell to join and make it a cupcake-baking, Chronicles of Narnia-watching threesome, Samberg wistfully added, "The secret ingredient is tears."

Cue Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch, both trying desperately to avoid eye contact. "Sorry, I'm not doing press," singsonged Poehler. "I'm here as a moviegoer!" Amy, please make the strike end! We need jokes. We're sick of how NBC fills up SNL's air time with dead-on-arrival reruns.

P.T. Anderson, you'll remember, is Rudolph's baby daddy, and though the comedienne managed to avoid the press line, she did so with many sweet apologies. Not like SNL Grand Poobah Lorne Michaels.

As the film's gifted star, Daniel Day Lewis, dutifully fielded questions from reporters on the red carpet, Michaels lurked off to the side, trying—and failing—to blend in with the publicists and various hangers-on clogging the causeway. He was all business, with his cell phone soldered to his ear—but, really, who could he be conversing with? Maybe instead of there being someone else on the other end, it was just the freeze-dried laugh track that's been coming from Studio 8H ever since the walkout?
