Mark Wahlberg Does Not Want to Be the Next Christopher Walken

www.jossip.com - 13th Oct 2008

Mark Wahlberg: Besides the Tina Fey as Sarah Palin run, the funniest thing on SNL this season was last week's "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals" sketch, where Andy Samberg hams up the Boston actors mannerisms for a deceptively simple plot of…talking to farm animals. It's already become a meme, in part because the impression of Wahlberg is not a dead likeness: in fact, it would be hard-pressed for someone before this sketch to nail down exactly what Marky Mark sounds like. But now with the ultimate soundbite of "say hello to your mudda for me!" teens across the nation are repeating the lines ad nauseum, just in time for the release of the Wahlberg-vehicle, The Happening. So is the three-nipped gent happy about this gentl Read full story at www.jossip.com

Did you happen to catch the Saturday Night Live skit called "Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals" that aired on October 4th?

Mark Wahlberg does not enjoy parody
Mark Wahlberg has his panties in a bunch over a Saturday Night Live sketch from last week called "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals." It features Andy Samberg playing Mark as he introduces himself to barnyard animals. Unfortunately, Marky Mark hated it so much that not only does he never want to host SNL, but he wishes Joe Piscopo was still on it. Whoa! Jesus. Let's not say things we can't take back.

Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals
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. Seems like someone doesn’t like it when people poke fun at him. It’s good if you can laugh at yourself once in a while. It&rsqu

Mark Wahlberg Thinks 'SNL' And Their Stupid Impression Of Him Can Suck It [Mockery]
newVideoPlayer("/markw_def.flv", 506, 423,""); While we found Andy Samberg's SNL impression of Mark Wahlberg as a sort of less-successful Dr. Doolittle overly preoccupied with sending his regards to farm animals' mothers to be flat out hilarious, not everyone was as amused. For starters, there was Wahlberg himself, who was asked about the sketch several times on the Max Payne interview circuit. In the audio clip above, set to a series of modeling shots and film stills by Defamer videographer Molly McAleer,

Mark Wahlberg not happy about Saturday Night Live parody skit
Saturday Night Live did a parody last weekend of the show Mark Wahlberg produces, Entourage, featuring Andy Samberg talking to a bunch of animals in the style of the characters on the HBO series. Samberg did a near perfect imitation of Wahlberg asking the animals how they were doing and telling them to say hi to their mothers for him. It was pretty funny for the first few animals, and kind of a surreal concept, but they dragged it out for just a little too long as is typical on SNL. Wahlberg had a Q&A

Wahlberg says Aronofsky's Fighter on the ropes
Mark Wahlberg has been talking about his continuing preparation for Darren Aronofsky's film The Fighter, a film that was to co-star Brad Pitt. I say was because today the news comes that Brad Pitt has backed out of the film too. The film has struggled for a lead, Matt Damon was originally up for the role and departed, and this is now the second time that Pitt has backed out of an Aronofsky film. Things aren't looking good, especially when you hear how Wahlberg is talking about the production.
