What if the Buddha had actually been a secret jerk? That was the premise in a sketch last night on SNL, where Andy Samberg played a version of the Enlightened One who made fun of his followers and ogled their boobs and said things like “I think my little Buddha just reached full consciousness.” Oh, and evening host Lindsay Lohan was in there somewhere too.

On last week’s episode of Happy Endings, Max (played by Adam Pally) had a shirtless scene. Since the show features a healthy amount of sex, that wasn’t unusual. But what was unusual was the discovery that Max and his portrayer have a chest tattoo. A Hebrew tattoo that reads “Asher.” In an interview with Craig Ferguson, Pally talked about the tattoo and said that Asher is his Hebrew name.
