“The Last Dance” came along last summer, as sports were on pause and we were adjusting to pandemic living. Its nostalgia-laced look at the career of Michael Jordan hit perfectly, as did those bourbon-fueled sit-down interviews with MJ that immediately launched a dozen memes.
Here we are all these many months later — creeping ever-so-close to normalcy — and “The Last Dance” still has enough currency that it’s being mocked by Saturday Night Life.
Host Keegan-Michael Key played Jordan Saturday night, but the performance that makes this work is Heidi Gardner as John Michael Wozniak, Jordan’s bodyguard.
We got the shrug. We got “And I took that personally.” It’s all here, and there’s even Charles Barkley.
“Bet your pants, then.”
