Here’s how DeVito told the SNL star what he thought of the comedian’s work.
Although he couldn’t remember which sketch his story occurred after, he does remember the incident pretty clearly.
“And I walk past a car and get, like, yanked.”

Moynihan said his first thought was that he was being assaulted.
Nope it was DeVito, who yelled “You think it’s funny playing me?!
Moynihan, for his part, called the exchange one of his greatest moments.

“I just got attacked by Danny DeVito in front of my high school buddies!
I made it!”
We should all aspire to Danny DeVito playfully yelling at us and then saying he loves us.
