'I would've gave her such a smack.'
"There was an incident on the show last week. Sinead O'Connor tore up a picture of the Pope. I thought that was wrong, so I asked somebody to paste it back together."
Holding up the image, as the audience applauded, Pesci continued:"There. I think that's a lot better. Okay. Case closed. I mean, why should I let it bother me, right? It wasn't my show, it was Tim Robbins' show. "But I'll tell you one thing, she was very lucky it wasn't my show. Cos if it was my show, I would've gave her such a smack."As the audience laugh and cheer, Pesci went on:"I would've grabbed her by her... eyebrows.
At the time of writing, the Joe Pesci episode is uploaded to the official Saturday Night Live YouTube account, but the Sinead O'Connor performance is not.
