Marlee Matlin is not happy about the sketch “Saturday Night Live” used to open their show last week. The sketch included two over-enthusiastic signers in a which mocked Mayor Bloomberg’s Hurricane Sandy press conferences and his interpreter Lydia Callis, who has become a viral hit. Matlin - who is legally deaf - called the bit “childish and insulting”. Matlin says she doesn’t mind when people poke fun at her, but as a language that millions use, it was
insulting and wonders if they would do the same with the Spanish language or Japanese? Matlin says deaf people HAVE a sense of humor, but faking signs that we use isn’t the same. ‘That stuff was just dumb.’

Terry Bradshaw is “really upset” he’s being accused of racism after comparing a Reggie Bush Touch Down run to someone chasing a “bucket of chicken” . Unfortunately for viewers, the comment was an inside joke because Jimmy Johnson is a freak for fried chicken!

Bradshaw says Johnson “won’t share it with anybody” … and everyone on set gives him grief about it. Bradshaw says he’s having a hard time with the haters because that’s not him saying “I never put those two things together because I don’t think like that.” Johnson is sure there was no racist intent and added, “I love fried chicken. A lot of people love fried chicken, so what’s the big deal?”

The episode is tentatively scheduled to air December 17th.
