During an appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyers, Moynihan said he knew he “made it” when DeVito jokingly “attacked” him in 2015 for parodying him onSaturday Night Live.
“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, 45, said. “And I walk past a car and get, like, yanked. And I’m like, ‘I’m being assaulted.'”
But the person yanking Moynihan was none other than theIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphiaactor. “He’s like, ‘You think it’s funny playing me?'” the comedic actor recalled.
