Sebastian Maniscalco reacts to trending ‘SNL’ sketch about him

Sabastian Maniscalco, known for his stand up shows and sold out comedy tours, was left amazed by spot on impersonation of him by Saturday Night Live star, Marcello Hernandez.

In the latest episode of the show, starring Glen Powell, Hernandez parodied Maniscalco as the long-time friend of Powell’s character, Dave.

Hernandez, perfectly captured the comedian’s signature mannerisms and voice, along with a grey wig to top off the look.

In the sketch, Powell played groom-to-be celebrating his bachelor party and claims to be old friends with the famous comedian. His friends are sceptical, until Hernandez as Maniscalco bursts into the room and launches into exaggerated stories about everyday problems and obstacles.

Meanwhile, the other characters in sketch attempt to carry on the party, but Hernandez keeps on interrupting with ad-libs making other frustrated.

His hilarious imitation quickly grabbed attention of many including Maniscalco himself.

The Irishman star took to his Instagram sharing the clip from SNL and praised the 28-year-old Latin American, writing, "You gotta be kidding me @marcellohdz @nbcsnl."

Other commenters also couldn’t help but express how on point Hernandez’s mimicry was.

"Love Marcello! Best skit of the night!" one wrote.

Another added, "His impression is PERFECT."

"FINALLY AN HILARIOUS SKIT," said a third user.
