Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg took a profanity-filled turn as White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel last night in a segment referred to as “An Even Tempered Apology.” It was, predictably, anything but, as Samberg’s Emanuel unleashed on a tirade of f-bombs and insults.

Here’s a status update: Grow the f*ck up.”

Something tells me the uncensored version of this skit will do well on Hulu. In the meantime, here’s the clip as it aired on Saturday:
