Mark Zuckerberg & Jesse Eisenberg come face-to-face on SNL

Last night, Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg was the host of Saturday Night Live. Jesse is now famous for playing Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, and SNL decided to have fun with it with the real Mark Zuckerberg. Oh, and Andy Samberg was there too, doing his surprisingly good Zuck impression. I have to admit – once all three Zuckerbergs were side-by-side, I kind of thought Andy was nailing the Zuck-muppet voice more than Jesse ever did in The Social Network.

It was cute. It was a good pop culture moment to have Jesse and Mark standing up there together. It was good to see that they are roughly the same height and that they do look similar – I always assumed Jesse was much shorter than the real Zuck, so that part surprised me.

Also: how big of a dork is Mark Zuckerberg? I mean, it’s kind of charming and cute, but he’s definitely not a “celebrity” and you can tell. And yes, I know he could buy and sell me. Like, a billion times over. Still, he’s a dork. Dork Power!

As far as the rest of the show… eh. I only stayed up for like ten more minutes. I liked the balloon sketch!
