The delivery of “I produce Entourage” was impeccable, the amount of pride lol

For Mark to get immediately involved like this likely means he saw that sketch and was just rollin with laughter.

What's even funnier is that all week, Wahlberg was on talk shows pretending to angry and insulted by the impression. Then, before this skit he just popped up in the cold open asking where Andy Samberg was. Wasn't even the host.

[@briansilva3344]

I have a feeling Wahlberg reached out to Lorne the day after and pushed to do this.

[@eddietat95]

What's that all about, huh? Ok, say hi to your mother for me.

[@romxxii]

@@briansilva3344 Makes sense, he had a movie to promote that year (Max Payne)

[@jag5014]

According to Samberg, he was genuinely annoyed by it. He basically came on to act like he's in on the joke instead of the punchline while also nipping it in the bud and putting Samberg in his place. Even the crowd could sense an awkward tension when he reared back like he was going to punch Samberg.

[@Reggie2000]

Thr real story: Mark had been asked to host SNL several times and turned them down. Claims he hadn't watched since 90s, but was a Will Ferrell fan. Mark had met Andy once, in Canada when Andy was filming Hot Rod. He said he liked the flick do he knew Andy was funny. But... He felt the sketch could have been a lot funnier. But that all comes out years latter around 2010 when talking about it again in interviews. At the time, in 2008, he was genuinely upset, and said: "Wahlberg told Kimmel, "When I see that kid, I'm going to crack that big f***** nose of his. Then I'm going to tell him, 'say hi to your mother for me'.... I'm going to go down to '30 Rock'.. and I'm going to slap him in the nose... I guaran-f*****-tee you." Andy is Jewish, and the big nose comments got him major flack. So how do you, if your Mark, regroup? Go on SNL and make fun of yourself. This is why Andy pretends yo be scared of him. Because in between the sketches, they were not cool at all. FACTS.

[@ZachClossin]

When Andy has to play himself he turns into a cartoon character.

[@DrRockso0]

I think after I first saw this sketch years ago, for multiple years after, I would say “say hi to your mother for me “ . I could not stop laughing about it.

[@farooqyousaf9516]

I was waiting for Mark to fit in 'what's that all about' in a sentence 😂. It gets funnier if you watch both videos together... And then realise that Mark was actually doing Andy's impression of him 😂😂

[@spaceforfocus]

Walhberg’s final response should have been to say thank you and that he WOULD say hi to his mother for him. Culminated in him asking Andy to also say to his mother for him.

When pregnant Amy Pohler came in I thought Mark was gonna lean down, hands on knees and talk to the fetus inside of her belly, be like "Hey fetus. So, you're not even born yet. What's that all about? OK, say hi to your mother for me." and then she'd be like "I'm right here. Hi."
