Mark Zuckerberg Makes Surprise SNL Cameo

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the looked-just-like-andy-samberg dept.

theodp writes "Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a surprise cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live during host Jesse Eisenberg's monologue. The real Zuckerberg appeared on stage with both his movie (The Social Network's Eisenberg) and TV (SNL's Andy Samberg) counterparts. The Social Network received 8 Oscar nominations last week, although the Academy snubbed KDE 3's performance."

    What's "Saturday Live?"

    Saturday Live was a UK TV series that ran from 1985 to 1987 on Channel 4. It appears that Mr. Zuckerberg has himself a time machine. The case is afoot, can he be stopped before his time traveling makes Facebook the most powerful entity on the planet?! (sure explains how we've gotten to where we're at)

      People have been saying that exact same thing since about December, 1975. But somehow, the show is still on the air.

      Why is that? I think that it's because the episodes seem better with age. When they think about the "good old days", they remember the 5% of sketches that were truly funny. When they see new episodes, they focus on the 95% that are mediocre or worse. So, people always think that the show is "going down the tubes".

      However, just like always, there is enough good stuff sprinkled in there to keep an audience, and they'll still be able to glean enough material from old seasons to put out more "Best of $RETIRED_CAST_MEMBER" DVDs.

    Actually this was news Friday morning... And it is not really a "surprising cameo" when SNL was trying to get him to come and we knew about it beforehand...
    That said, it is a shame that SNL has lost its mojo, it used to be an amazing show.
