The American late-night comedy show, Saturday Night Live (SNL) has a new incredible skit called Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals. The SNL skit features Andy Samberg talking to animals as Mark Wahlberg. The concept might sound a little strange but the skit is hysterical. Samberg is both the perfect sound and look alike to Mark Wahlberg.

Mark Wahlberg Hates This SNL Skit
Mark Wahlberg isn’t a big fan of the skit. He had this to say in a NY Post interview he did while promoting the movie Max Payne:
“Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn’t like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that’s for sure. And “Saturday Night Live” hasn’t been funny for a long time. They’ve asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don’t even know who’s on the show now.”
Wahlberg also threatened to slap Samberg when he was a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. But everything all worked out in the end. Wahlberg came on SNL to do his own version of Samberg’s imitation of himself a week later.
