Wahlberg on SNL: Say Hello to Your Mother for Me

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on October 19, 2008

I’m sure that many of you had a chance to see the Sarah Palin appearance on Saturday Night Live last night, but the Moose-hunting Vice Presidential candidate’s appearance was overshadowed by a special guest appearance from Mark Wahlberg, who came on to threaten to break Andy Samberg’s big, beautiful nose. Have a look at the clip below, courtesy of Hulu.

Also, no matter where you lean politically, Amy Poehler’s rap during Weekend Update was absolutely hysterical. You have to love the Eskimos.

And finally, I wanted to share a few other thoughts about last night’s episode of SNL. First of all, other than the two clips above, it was a mostly terrible episode. I feel very bad for Josh Brolin, who never really had a funny moment of his own. Was it just me, or did it feel like they only did two different Brolin-centric skits, they just did it 4 times a piece? As well, did anyone else watch all the way to the end? What happened to Josh Brolin at the end? There was no closing speech, just music and an awkward pause. It was about the most odd thing I’ve seen in a long time. That said, if you missed it, just watch the two clips above — that’s all that was worth watching anyway.
