They were actually going to have the sketches available to view on NBC.com, but they quickly decided it'd be too much work/too expensive to film real skits as well as the show.

I'm trying to remember what comedy it was where one of the writers or produces said they ended up doing exactly that for one of the comedians on it, as they would just come up with some far better line on the spot anyway, so like why bother waste the writers time trying to think up something that's never going to be used.

This specific anecdote comes from Donald Glover and Community, iirc. But as other posters noted it’s a common occurrence in sitcoms if you cast talented people
