NEW YORK — Mark Zuckerberg finally came face-to-face with his two biggest impersonators when he dropped in on last night's SNL broadcast.
Guest host Jesse Eisenberg, who famously played the Facebook founder in The Social Network, was in the middle of his opening monologue when SNL star Andy Samberg joined him onstage wearing Zuckerberg's trademark hoodie.
Cameras then cut to the tech billionaire backstage with the show's executive producer, Lorne Michaels. "Why can't I go in there? I'm the real Mark Zuckerberg!" he asked. "Come on. I invented Poking!"
"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure at least one of those guys is the real Mark Zuckerberg," replied Michaels. "You're better off backstage."
Moments later, Zuckerberg strolled out to join his impersonators.
"Wait, have you two not met?" asked Samberg.
"No," they both replied.
"Awkward!" yelled Samberg, who quickly left the scene.
As the pair stood alone in an awkward silence, Eisenberg asked, "Did you ever end up seeing the film ... What did you think?"
"It was interesting," replied Zuckerberg.
