Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco shared his positive take on Marcello Hernandez's spot-on impersonation of him during the November 15 episode of Saturday Night Live. He called it "pretty good" on The Drew Barrymore Show, though he quipped about the wig being "a bit too white." Maniscalco felt truly honored by the sketch and praised Hernandez's capture of his signature moves, like the walk, hand gestures, and Superman back kick.

Sketch Details

In the bit, host Glen Powell plays a groom inviting Maniscalco (portrayed by Hernandez) to his bachelor party. Hernandez nails the physical comedy, showing up in a sharkskin suit and black turtleneck amid others in Hawaiian shirts.

"He did a fantastic job. I was genuinely honored that they did that."

Hernandez even invited Maniscalco for a cameo, but he couldn't due to a gig in Palm Springs.

Hosting Ambitions

Maniscalco, who hasn't hosted SNL yet, used the moment to pitch himself, joking with Barrymore—who's hosted six times—about her taking all the slots. She endorsed him fully: "You would be fantastic on that show."

His latest special, It Ain't Right, streams on Hulu now.
