The monologue was interesting given that just this week, Mr. Hart had admitted on a New York radio show to cheating on his wife while she was pregnant. This week, “S.N.L.” took on the popular TNT basketball studio crew, featuring Charles Barkley (Kenan Thompson), Kenny Smith (Chris Redd), Ernie Johnson (Alex Moffat) and Mr. O’Neal being played by Mr. Hart. And while there were some digs at Mr. Barkley, the real butt of the sketch was Mr. O’Neal. Kudos to Mr. Hart here. His portrayal of Mr. O’Neal wasn’t spot on by any stretch, but it was funny.
