The audience at Studio 8H erupted with excitement during a Weekend Update segment on SNL when host Colin Jost mentioned accused killer Luigi Mangione, illustrating the troubling acceptance of violence in humor.
Michael Che humorously stated, 'Luigi Mangione has been placed in the same federal prison as Sean Combs. Said Combs, Mmm Christmas came early,' prompting further cheers and laughter from the audience.
Colin Jost sarcastically responded to the audience's approval of the mention of Mangione by saying, 'Yeah, definitely, woo! You're wooing for justice, right?' highlighting the surreal celebration of a serious crime.
The reaction of the crowd at SNL aligns with a recent Emerson College poll indicating that 41 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 found the killing of Brian Thompson acceptable.
