Late night host George Lopez made a joke this week implying that instant Dancing with the Stars favorite Kirstie Alley is a pig. It didn’t go over too well.
On Tuesday’s Lopez Tonight, he said, “She did a nice job,” after showing a clip of Kirstie and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. “Her little hooves tapping away.”
He then did a play on the classic nursery rhyme, This Little Piggy Goes to Market, before playing a clip of a pig squealing “wheeeee” riding in a car.
Having thought better of it, Lopez apologized last night on Twitter:
Not sure how one misjudges a joke in which one calls a woman a pig – not something they typically take kindly too – but it appears no harm was done.
Alley struck back at Lopez, writing: “lol…a drunk pig…hehe” and later, this:
“Don’t worry about George’s comments… just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk wolf… falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs.”
Good one. This isn’t the first such incident for Lopez, who made weight-related cracks about Bristol Palin ballooning on DWTS last season, too.
Here’s Kirstie’s strong debut performance from Monday night …
