Bobby Moynihan wears being attacked by Danny DeVito as a badge of honour.
Moynihan portrayed DeVito on two separate skits on Global’s “Saturday Night Live” in November 2015: one revolving around a “Star Wars” audition and the other for a Nespresso parody. Visiting his “SNL” alum Seth Meyers on “Late Night”, Moynihan revealed he ran into DeVito that same evening.

“Right after I played him on the show — that night, directly after the show, I had two of my buddies Mike and Rob, from high school with me. And I get them to the party and we pull up to the party and it’s the coolest,” Moynihan said, via EW. “And I walk past a car and get, like, yanked.”
DeVito playfully attacked Moynihan; however, for a brief moment the “SNL” star thought he was really being assaulted.
“You think it’s funny playing me?!” DeVito teased before adding, “I love ya, kid.”
