NBC wouldn't show it on TV for some reason. Why? Was it too controversial? Defamer thinks so...
We'd like to take just a moment to officially append our 20 Fun Facts About Rahm Emanuel, Ari's power-broker brother who's expected to bring a little profane, alpha-male flair to the White House as Barack Obama's chief of staff. We'll call this Fun Fact #21: Was impersonated by Andy Samberg on Saturday Night Live in a skit eventually spiked by the show's producers, perhaps fearing it could overshadow any one of host Tim McGraw's own, more solemn stabs at comedy. OR for one of a couple of other reasons after the jump — where you'll find the clip as well.
Or maybe by the network, fearing the overindulgence of cursing, bleeped or not. Or maybe even by Samberg himself, fearing some Emanuelian turnabout for casting the Illinois representative as the boorish lout who would "strip [Joe Lieberman] naked and make you walk your McCain-loving-* back to Connecticut, you * turncoat." We'll likely never really know why the sketch was killed, but we favor the latter scenario, just for the potential for Emanuel to threaten to "crack that big * nose of his" while teasing an SNL guest appearance in the weeks ahead.

I am sure that the network wouldn't appreciate a skit that has to be censored that much. It is a funny skit, but best left for the web. FUNNY!
I think that it might have been cut because of all the censoring. That, or maybe because the laughs were slow in the beginning and the writers decided to cut it.
P.S.He sounds like Mark Wahlberg when he's yelling.
