Other than Tina Fey’s return to lampoon Sarah Palin last fall, there hasn’t been much to laugh at on “Saturday Night Live” in recent years. So I was surprised Saturday night when “SNL’s” Weekend Update did a surprisingly funny bit on former Phoenix Sun Charles Barkley and his recent arrest for driving under the influence in Scottsdale.
The best part comes when Barkley, played by cast member Kenan Thompson, dismisses the chances he could lose his lucrative TV gig: “C’mon, man. I work for TNT. You know who else works for TNT? No one you’ve ever heard of. TNT stands for ‘Technically Not even Television.”
In case you missed it, you can see it on the NBC website here (about 2 minutes into the segment).

Newsflash: Barkley HAS lost his TNT gig - at least temporarily. Not sure who made the decision.
Maybe Ms Barkley got tired of seeing hubby’s name linked with hooker-trash and ‘boys will be boys’ headlines and just lowered a hammer on his sorry head for a time.
Hey Chas…this is NOT the way to win the Alabama Governorship. Clean up your act cause there ain’t nothing more pitiful than an aging jock trying to keep up with the guys young enough to be your sons.
