The clip shows other titans of tech, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Andy Samberg), Huffington Post Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington (Nasim Pedrad), Netflix CEO Reed Hastings (Jason Sudeikis), and News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch (Fred Armisen) in an interview with Charlie Rose (Bill Hader).

Rose asks the high-profile characters what Jobs taught them.

“He had great ideas, he worked incredibly hard and he never compromised. He set an annoyingly high standard of integrity,” says Hastings.

“We suck right now,” said Hastings. “Comparing Apple to Netflix is like comparing apples to oranges. Especially if the oranges made so many mistakes that people stopped eating oranges and went back to Blockbuster.”
