Saturday Night Live – Jeremy Lin Skit.
The past two weeks Jeremy Lin has been the talk of the NBA with his Cinderella performance. Over the weekend headlines changed from ‘Lin-Sanity’ to ‘Lin-Sensitive’ after an ESPN headline and Saturday Night Live made jokes about the rising athlete. An ESPN writer was fired and an anchor suspended after releasing a story on the athlete with the headline ‘Chink in the Armor‘ after the New York Knicks finally lost a game after winning 7 straight. Saturday Night Live quickly picked up Lin’s play on words and is now one of the most watched videos from the weekend.
