VIDEO: ‘Saturday Night Live’ spoofs Stephen A. Smith on college hoops
For this kooky sports analyst, it’s all about the relationships
Saturday Night Live trotted out one of our favorite bits last night when during Weekend Update, coanchor Colin Jost introduced sports analyst Stephen A. Smith. (OK, it's Jay Pharoah doing his hilariously unhinged imitation of the former Inquirer sports columnist, but it's a riot every time.)
Jost (who looks a little like CBS's basketball guy Seth Davis) wanted to get Smith's insights into March Madness. The responses were abysmally uninformed. Smith had, for instance, Michigan State going out in the first round and Wichita State taking the whole thing.
But that didn't matter, because as is customary, Smith had to preface each remark with a strange, self-aggrandizing commentary about how easy person on the court — coach or player — is a close, close personal friend of his.
That lead to some rather remarkable claims about Kentucky super freshman Julian Randle.
Enjoy.
