Saturday Night Live doesn’t often do that well with sports heroes in the hosting gig, so why not a cameo from the antithesis of sports heroes?
Dennis Rodman showed up to ‘make fun of’ his friendship with Kim Jong-un on ‘Saturday Night Live’
“Live, from New York, it’s Dennis Rodman.”
During a sort of rambling, pieced together sketch mocking Kim Jong-un (played in the sketch by Bobby Moynihan), former NBA star and current best friend of the North Korean dictator, Dennis Rodman, came to... well, we’re not really sure what he came to do. See below.
I’m not really sure what the point of Rodman’s appearance is. Is he satirizing his recent standing as a buddy of North Korea’s Supreme Leader, pointing out that he’s paid to hang out with a dictator? What’s the joke here? I wonder if he’s in on the joke or not, to be honest. Anyway, he gets a reaction from the crowd and gets to deliver the “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday night!” line. A very baffling appearance, to say the least.
SNL continued on a sports theme a little bit later, with host Melissa McCarthy taking on a more violent version of Rutgers coach Mike Rice. This, however, will be the one that everyone is talking about tomorrow morning, I reckon.
