'SNL' Brings Hank Williams Jr. Back On 'Fox & Friends' To Apologize, Sort Of (VIDEO)

For once it was not Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson or Brian Kilmeade who made contentious remarks about President Obama on "Fox And Friends" this week. Instead, country music star and face of "Monday Night Football" Hank Williams Jr. took care of it, comparing Obama to Hitler on last Monday's show.

While Williams Jr. has since explained his remarks, he hasn't apologized. But that's where "Saturday Night Live" comes in.

On this weekend's show, "SNL" pulled out their "Fox And Friends" set, dolled Jason Sudeikis up like Williams Jr. and had he and his "Media Representative" (played by Ben Stiller) attempt to set things right.

As you might expect, Williams Jr. was not about to take back what he said. So watch the sketch below and "let's get ready" for some even more ridiculous Obama/Hitler remarks than the ones you heard earlier this week.

In the corrections at the end of the clip, it states "General Tso did not win the Civil War for the Confederacy". We all knew that. It says plainly on every Chinese restaurant menu "General Tso's Chicken". If he were such a chicken, how could he have won the Civil War? Duh!

The best was about 1/2 hour later before going into a commercial sudekis came out with the SNL band once again dressed as HW Jr. and sang "are you ready for some commercials?"

Gretchen Carlson said to Williams, "You used the name of one of the most hated people in all of the world to describe, I think, the president.­­" Williams replied, "Well, that is true. But I'm telling you like it is."

Anyone with a 9th grade education can tell you that the 1st Amendment of the Constitution with regard to "freedom of speech" protects us from censorship in the public square from censorship by the government. Hank Williams Jr. is free to express himself all he wants in the public square. ESPN is not obligated to give him a private platform. Furthermore the right of free speech does not absolve us of taking responsibility for the things we say. But if you want to ignorantly claim that the 1st Amendment somehow applies here, then you also have to concede that the management of ESPN is guaranteed the right of freedom of association and is within their right to disassociate themselves from Mr. Williams.

Jr needs to talk to Tiger in order to find out why he got dumped.

yes, and ESPN, as a corporation AND as an individual (according to this rightwing SCOTUS), has the right to free speech as well.

and their speech was: "we don't want hank to do our opening song anymore."

Hitler was a charismatic figure that fostered rabid nationalism and ended up killed people that he found to be a threat to the heritage of his people and their way of life. There is no way that a world power would be allowed to do such a thing again.

Fox deserves every bit of ridicule thrown their way.
