LOS ANGELES, July 4 — What do you do when you’re down with the flu and have a talk show appearance to attend that you don’t want to cancel?

Andy Samberg came up with a novel solution: Appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in a plastic bubble that will keep the virus from spreading.

While Jimmy Kimmel tried to suggest it was ABC execs who wanted to protect the crew and audience from contracting the virus, Samberg told his show host he had other suspicions as to the origin of the Bubble Boy suit request.

“I talked to a couple of ABC execs and they said you wanted it,” Samberg said, admitting all the medication he’s on is making him feel a little fuzzy.
