The real Mark Zuckerberg stepped forward on last night's Saturday Night Live, alongside the guy who played him in The Social Network and the guy who plays him on SNL. "Awkward!" cried Andy Samberg, skipping off when Zuckerberg came out. Left alone, Jesse Eisenberg asks Zuck what he thought of the, uh, movie? "Interesting," Zuckerberg allows. Catch some of the show's highlights in the gallery.

"For a guy who's not an actor, Mark did an OK job of saying his lines," writes the San Francisco Chronicle. "Look, he was stilted, OK. A bit robotic, to say the least. But give him credit—major props—for coming on the show and making it a memorable classic." (More Mark Zuckerberg stories.)
