AceShowbiz - One of the highlights on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend was the "Weekend Update". Host Michael Che talked about Bill Cosby scandal amidst a flood of allegations that the "Bill Cosby Show" star sexually assaulted a number of women in Hollywood.
"Hey Bill Cosby, pull your damn pants up," Che deadpanned. "I've always wanted to say that." He went on to address that "TV Land pulled all re-runs of "The Cosby Show", before he added, "I don't know how to feel about that because I don't know Bill Cosby, but Cliff Huxtable practically raised me. I love that dude!"
"The only thing he ever tried to sneak when people were asleep was a Hoagie," Che said of Cosby's beloved character on the classic show. "So while I may never forgive Bill Cosby, hopefully someday I can forgive Dr. Huxtable. I mean, I know it's not the same thing but, I forgave Kramer," he added, referring to Michael Richards making racial slurs during a standup show in 2012.
The "SNL" was hosted by Cameron Diaz over the weekend. Her monologue contained answering weird questions from audience. She also appeared in a sketch that mocked her latest movie "Annie" and rapped with the "SNL" female cast about being a "Back Home Baller." It was her fourth time hosting the NBC variety show.
