A remake of the sketch (where a coach tries to motivate a losing swim team) appeared on the Michael Phelps/Lil Wayne episode as part of the closing credits of the SNL special, SNL Sports Extra '09 (a clip show special featuring many memorable sketches and segments from episodes hosted by and featuring sports stars, such as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, LeBron James, and Michael Phelps).
