Charles Barkley may be the least endrogenous basketball star in the world, but that didn't stop him from playing a beautiful woman for the decade's first episode of "Saturday Night Live."
The hefty former NBA player, who stands a towering 6 foot 5, sported a curly ponytail and hoop earrings to play musical guest Alicia Keys in an "SNL" promo that aired on NBC during the NFL playoff game.
Barkley and Keys, who have been both featured on the NBC show in the past, headlined "SNL's" first episode since James Franco signed off in December.
During the one-hour show, Sir Charles made as much fun of himself as he did the Princess of Soul. In a skit referencing his DUI arrest last January, Barkley joked about getting "arrested."
He also riffed on the basketball league's numerous sex scandals by quipping: "I been in the NBA a long time, I know a freaky white girl when I see one."
Meanwhile, Keys, who previously performed on a 2001 episode hosted by Reese Witherspoon, alluded to her sexy stage persona in a skit with Andy Samberg. The gorgeous singer starred in "Booty Call," a digital short that had her seduce her effete and socially inept male co-star over the phone.
The Grammy winner also performed a couple of her hit songs during the show, most notably a version of "Empire State of Mind" to pay tribute to "SNL's" home of New York.
