First it was “drunk Tom Brady.” Now, “Saturday Night Live” is skewering another Boston sports legend.
During “Weekend Update,” anchor Michael Che and cast member Punkie Johnson skewered Pierce for getting fired by ESPN on Monday shortly after posting a racy Instagram video featuring scantily clad women twerking and what appeared to be copious marijuana use.
Che played the straight man in the sketch while Johnson played a stripper who partied at Pierce’s house named “Pineapple.”
“Paul Pierce was fired from his job as an analyst for ESPN after filming a wild party on Instagram Live where he was surrounded by strippers,” Che said.
