The last half hour of SNL is normally full of the dregs of sketch comedy. But sometimes it knocks one out of the park. I would never think that Sandberg could pull off a Marky Mark impression, but he nails it — the voice, the swagger, the seriousness — and then throws a bunch of absurdity on top to make it comedy gold.
The last half hour usually contains some of my favorite stuff due to a mix of the absolute weirdness they allow to populate the end of the show and my overwhelming exhaustion.
I haven’t had a chance to watch this yet but Wahlberg’s whiney response has me excited:

true exhaustion does play a part…dozing off and coming back in on a sketch (Sprockets) can certainly make it better…also, did MarkyM really ref Joe Pispcipo in that rant? Whatta maroon…
and now Marky Mark threates to bop Samberg on the beak: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/17/mark-wahlberg-disses-snl_n_135531.html
wow, that’s so great…no sense of humor on Marky M, like a schoolyard bully…I bet a., Sandberg is laughing his ass off at getting so deep under MM’s skin…and b., they will poke even more fun at MM on this weekend’s show…
