Earlier this week on Lopez Tonight, George Lopez mocked Kirstie Alley’s performance on Dancing With the Stars, saying, “She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away. Before the show, she went to the market, and then she had roast beef and this is her going all the way home!” Then he cut to the squealing pig in the GEICO commercial. Alley brushed off the insult, tweeting: “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.” Now Lopez has apologized via Twitter, saying, “I misjudged the joke. No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie.” How about you beg for forgiveness on your TV show?
