Getty Images "Saturday Night Live" welcomed the new decade with a duo of seasoned "SNL" vets, featuring basketball star Charles Barkley and R&B diva Alicia Keys in the show's first episode of 2010. Barkley, who last hosted the show in 1993 alongside musical guest Nirvana, had bit parts in "SNL" sketches new and old in Saturday's episode, the last since James Franco's December gig ended the 2009 "SNL" season. Perhaps Barkley's funniest turn was as Keys herself, as the 6?5? former NBA player donned a curly wig and tight dress to play the sultry chart-topper during a sketch that aired before the show, during NBC coverage of the NFL playoff game. Barkley took a turn poking fun at himself, starring in a skit about getting professional help to fix his golf swing and joking about getting "arrested," a nod to his Jan. 2009 drunk-driving bust. The ex-NBA star also quipped about the league's infamous womanizers, saying as he hit on an audience member: "I been in the NBA a long time, I know a freaky white girl when I see one."
