Live from ... Chickie's & Pete's... It's "SNL"
The South Philly sports bar will host a segment on the show tonight.
Anheuser-Busch is sponsoring tonight's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, and the show will air spots from at least three sports bars around the country -- including a viewing party from Chickie's & Pete's on Packer Avenue in South Philly.
Details are mostly under wraps, but the skits (which will not involve the show cast) have a "Bud Light" meeting a "stalk of golden wheat" at a bar, falling in love, and creating a "baby": Budweiser's new Bud Light Golden Wheat beer.
Marisa Magnatta of WMMR's Preston & Steve show will wear a four-foot foam costume as the wheat, and her friend Paul Aspan will portray the Bud.
Magnatta said only her legs will be shown.
Owner Pete Ciarrocchi says he feels honored that Chickie's & Pete's was hosting. It's open to the public.
