As an avid SNL fan with a penchant for pop culture and a soft spot for dark humor, I must say, this recent episode has been a roller coaster ride of intrigue, absurdity, and a dash of the macabre. The case of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has taken the nation by storm, and SNL has seized the moment to deliver some bitingly witty commentary that’s both hilarious and thought-provoking.
The case of the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has gotten the SNL treatment.
In the beginning of the December 14th episode on NBC’s comedy show, cast member Sarah Sherman imitated television personality Nancy Grace as they spoke about public reactions to the arrest of Luigi Mangione. Mangione was charged with murder on Dec 9 for the shooting death of a health insurance company executive outside a hotel in New York City following a five-day manhunt.
In tonight’s main feature, the enigmatic CEO disguised as a shooter has been identified. To my surprise, it turns out to be none other than Luigi himself! As I spoke, the iconic “game over” sound from the original Super Mario Bros. video game echoed, signaling the end of this unexpected revelation.
She added, “Indeed, people everywhere applauded the efforts of law enforcement for capturing this menacing criminal. But just to be clear, you all turned him into a heartthrob instead!
Later on, Sherman presented fellow Saturday Night Live actor Emil Wakim as a man who bears a striking resemblance to the character Luigi Mangione.
He expressed that this situation has been quite a roller coaster ride for him. While he continues to be pursued by bounty hunters, on the positive side, he’s received some of the most zealous direct messages (DMs) in his life. In fact, he hasn’t had to pay for a meal in Brooklyn for several days now.
Mangione, who’s anticipated to claim innocence in the case as stated by one of his lawyers, Thomas Dickey, was likewise brought up during the Weekend Update segment.
According to cohost Colin Jost, those who attended high school with the suspected shooter expressed shock at his transformation into an assassin, in contrast to his peers being amazed that he hadn’t achieved something significant, as a photo from his high school yearbook was shown on screen.
Episode guest host Chris Rock also referenced the murder suspect in his monologue.
The focus seems to be solely on his good looks. If he resembled someone like Jonah Hill, people wouldn’t give him a second glance, he quipped, implying that his success has been predetermined.
