Faecbook's Zuckerberg meets with Jesse Eisenberg on Saturday Night Live

The founder of the popular social networking website Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, appeared on Saturday Night Live, meeting for the first time Oscar-nominated Jesse Eisenberg, who portrayed him in The Social Network, People magazine reported on Sunday.

During Eisenberg's opening monologue, broadcast standout Andy Samberg reportedly came onstage wearing Zuckerberg's trademark hoodie and a curly-haired wig.

Cameras then cut to the Facebook founder backstage with executive producer Lorne Michaels. "Why can't I go in there? I'm the real Mark Zuckerberg!" he asked. "Come on. I invented Poking!"

Michaels replied: "Yeah, and I'm pretty sure at least one of those guys is the real Mark Zuckerberg. You're better off backstage."

But soon all three "Zuckerbergs" were together in front of the cheering audience. "Wait. Have you two not met?" asked Samberg. "Awkward!"

Eisenberg, who is nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the tech billionaire, then asked, "Did you ever end up seeing the film ... What did you think?"

"It was interesting," was Zuckerberg's reply.
