Yeah, "Weekend Update" did chime in about the Plaxico incident ... but as far as public service announcements go, it's no Peyton Manning pitch for the United Way.
Sad to say that "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" each did funnier takes ... but it's sadder to say that's par for the course on current events these days. Saddest to say is that that statement is not news. We cry so we may laugh. Keenan Thompson's final one-liner is pretty OK tho. Then again, it's always a good idea to have a doctor who takes cash on speed-dial.
P.S. Tonight at 7 p.m., NBC is airing an hourlong special called "Saturday Night Live: Sports Extra." If they want to impress me, they'll reair the 1983 sketch, "Bob Hope's Super Bowl Party", starring Dave Thomas as Bob Hope, Rick Moranis as Woody Allen and Frank Sinatra as Joe Piscopo. No wait, reverse that last one.
Original airdate: Dec. 6, 2008
SNL Sportsplex entry No. 39
