Watch Marcello Hernandez channel this famous comic on SNL: ‘Hilarious’
We love Marcello Hernandez on “Saturday Night Live” as his lothario character Domingo, and he kills it as the clueless usher/film critic, “The Movie Guy” and “Weekend Update’s” dating expert, Grant. He’s also done some spot-on impressions of Bad Bunny, Desi Arnaz and “Sabado Gigante” star Don Francisco.
But last weekend, the Miami native blew our socks off with his take on Sebastian Maniscalco. Hernandez did such an amazing job channeling the popular comedian he even managed to steal the skit away from host Glen Powell.
The “Anyone But You” hunk plays Dave, who invites Maniscalco, an old camp buddy, to his bachelor party. While the groom’s friends just want to drink and relax, Hernandez — sporting a pompadour wig, flashy red jacket and perfect posture — arrives late and takes over the room.
The Belen Jesuit grad mimics Maniscalco’s manic, acrobatic mannerisms, hilariously random observations and Chicago-meets-Italian accent to a tee.
“I’m driving my car, and I got the stick shift goin’,” he explains, acting out being behind the wheel. “The traffic was on another level! And then a genius cuts me off! And I’m like, Why would you dooo thatttt?!!!”
Hernandez then pivots, launching into a tirade about the game of Twister, bending himself in every direction on another man’s lap. The rest of the actors, including Powell, couldn’t help but crack up.
So what did the real Maniscalco think? The “Is It Me?” star, who’s currently on his It Ain’t Right tour, weighed in on the performance on his socials.
“You gotta be kidding me,” the 52-year-old joked on Instagram, sharing a clip to his 2.2 million followers.
On X, formerly Twitter, Maniscalco wrote: ”I know where Marcello gets it from...” then posted clips of his signature wild gesticulations and pretzel-like moves.
Commenters agreed that Hernandez, 28, nailed it:
“The first funny thing SNL has done in decades!”
“This was phenomenal.”
“Hilarious.”
“I see a father & son skit in the future.”
