SNL 50 : During the fiftieth day of remembrance event , MAGA folks went into nuclear meltdown mode over SNL ’s " pitch-dark Jeopardy ! " sketch and Tom Hanks ' Doug .
If you got a chance to check outSNL50 : The Anniversary Specialon Sunday night , then you have it away that NBC’sSaturday Night Livewent above any beyond to extend an anniversary show suitable of the milestone moment . One of the sketches that really hit home was " Black Jeopardy ! , " which sawKenan Thompson , Eddie Murphy , Tracy Morgan , Leslie Jones , andChris Rocktwisting the comedic tongue by calling out SNL ’s less - than - telling track record when it came to hiring Black writers and cast phallus – with Murphy dropping an amazing impression of Morgan . But what ’s gotDonald Trump ’s MAGA fad clutching their pearls and fan themselves was the return ofTom Hanks ' MAGA hat - wearing Doug – but for this go - around , Doug does n’t seem too concerned in ramp up bridges any longer .
At one decimal point in the vignette , Thompson ’s game show host , Darnell Hayes , go over to shake Doug ’s hand – but Doug backs off , realise it cleared that he ’s not into that . " Do n’t care that , whoa , whoa , whoa , " Doug responds , hands in the air . finally , he and Hayes shake work force – but the days of biotic community and bringing everyone together are clear over for Doug . " Maybe I ’ll take up a show for you to come on and we ’ll call it ' White Jeopardy , ' " Doug throws out – before Hayes take a hard pass . Well , you could only conceive of how a whole lot of fragile - as - snowflakes " MAGA - tiers " would be upset about being labeled a racist – specially those with allied flag on exhibit in their societal medium . And it ’s not just SNL that they ’re pissed at – when it comes to Hanks , they ’ve decided to take their box of cocoa and go home , claiming to be done with the actor ( untilForrest Gump 2 : Even Gumpiercomes out , that is ) .
