High School Musical - Efron Mocks Teenage Fans On Saturday Night Live

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL star ZAC EFRON turned on his teenage fans during his guest host stint on U.S. comedy show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE at the weekend (11Apr09).

The 21-year old singer/actor has amassed a huge teenage following thanks to the hit Disney franchise.

But he poked fun at his underage devotees while presenting the popular late night show.

During his opening monologue, Efron said, "Tonight is very important to me because I get to reach out to a with new audience.

"But first, if you don't mind, I'd like to say something first to the fans who brought me here. Hey tweens, Zac Efron here. I just wanted to take a moment in the show to say hi to you guys. And by guys, I mean girls. Because let's face it, tweens, I owe you big time. If it weren't for you, I'd just be some random college student instead of a college-aged man pretending to be a high school student.

"Plus, I want to thank you for the financial support. True, your parents gave me that money. But you gave me something even more valuable: your attention. And if someone can keep a tween's attention for more than five minutes, parents will pay that person all of their disposable income. So thank you."
