Sketch about dying wife who wants her husband never have sex after her?

I've been trying to remember where I saw this particular sketch on television, I thought it was Key & Peele but I certainly might be wrong. The premise is that a wife is on her deathbed with her husband there (both of them look mid-30s-ish), and her dying wish is that following a respectable grief period... the husband should never ever have sex with another woman.
She insists on it because she wants to know that when they are reunited in Heaven, he'll have remained faithful to her his entire life. He hems and haws about and tries to mealy-mouth his way around it, and create a little wiggle room for himself. I don't remember how it actually ended, if there was a final punchline or if something else jumped in the way Monty Python sketches would always cut off the previous one's ending.
Anyway, if anyone has recollections about the skit, or a link to a video, I'd appreciate it, thank you!

Best answer: Alternative link if you get a "not available in your country" message.

Was it curb your enthusiasm? Cheryl and Larry argue about until death do us part? Or something along those lines.

Response by poster: Thank you everyone! I had thought it was a K&P skit, I guess the fact that they had Rashida Jones as the wife and not just one of them dressing in drag is what muddled my recollection. I also might be conflating this sketch with a similar premise from somewhere else, possibly the Curb example?
Anyway, I'm definitely going to keep "Your request.. has been filed" in my pocket from now on.
