Saturday Night Live Host Jim Parsons Portrays Figure Skater Johnny Weir in Opener: Watch Here! by nevel
As if Johnny Weir and Tara Lapinski's Olympics commentary wasn't funny enough, the legendary figure skater was spoofed on the March 1 episode of Saturday Night Live. Host Jim Parsons portrayed Weir, 29, in the show's opening skit where he was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Stepping out in skin-tight leather pants, a pink jacket, and a bedazzled necklace, Parsons joked about Weir's trip to Sochi, Russia where his over-the-top outfits definitely stood out.
"I feel like every time I see you, you're wearing something new and crazy," SNL star Kate McKinnon who played DeGeneres said to Weir.
The camera then cut to Parsons adding on a series of eccentric pieces including a rainbow-colored fur coat and a headdress.
And the real-life Johnny Weir didn't seem to take offense to the skit. In fact, he just had one request for the NBC show.
