Gritty cleared of assault charges, inspiring late-night jokes (Video)

Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty was cleared of assault charges by the Philadelphia police, inspiring more jokes on the late night talk show circuit.

Stephen Colbert referenced the story during his "Meanwhile..." segment on Wednesday night. The punchline: "This is truly historic. It is the first Philadelphia sports fan to be acquitted of assault."



Conan O'Brien dedicated a whole segment to the story on Tuesday night's episode of Conan. In the segment, a fake "Gritty" was relieved to be cleared of the charges, but then proceeded to beat up a stage manager and a teenage boy, raising the question of whether he had truly learned his lesson.

Derek Jeter, Gritty mocked on SNL Weekend Update

Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Derek Jeter and Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty were the subjects of jokes during the Weekend Update of this week's episode of Saturday Night Live.

Jeter was named to the Hall of Fame this week in his first time on the ballot, with the big controversy being that he came one vote shy of a unanimous decision by the Baseball Writers Association. The punchline, delivered by Colin Jost:

"In case you were wondering if Derek Jeter ever slept with a baseball writer's wife."

It is worth noting that Jost is now engaged to actress Scarlett Johansson, who is rumored to have dated Jeter during his bachelor days, so that may have provided motivation for the dig on Jeter.

A minute later, Jost brought up the latest news story about Gritty, who is accused of punching a 13-year-old boy in the back.

"I just can't picture Gritty doing something like that. I mean, look at him...He's more of a leap out of the shadows and stick you with a syringe kind of guy."

We are curious as to how the real Gritty story will play out. Maybe some video will leak soon?
