‘SNL’ Skit Causes Actor to Lash Out

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, October 13, 2008

With all the buzz around Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin impression, a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit involving Andy Samberg imitating Mark Wahlberg was highly overlooked a few weeks ago … but not by Wahlberg himself. Let’s just say he’s not very entertained with the spoof.

In an interview with the New York Post, Wahlberg talks about Samberg’s “Barky Bark and the Donkey Bunch,” in which Samberg does a stellar impression of the former rapper-turned-actor discussing life with a mule. Despite Wahlberg’s claims that “it wasn’t like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that’s for sure,” the impression is flawless in our eyes.

Wahlberg goes on to further slam ‘SNL,’ saying it “hasn’t been funny for a long time.” He even says that he’s been asked “to do the show a ton of times,” but turned the offers down.

“I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray,” he said. “I don’t even know who’s on the show now.”
