"Not many people know this, but one of the most common side effects of Tourette's is cannibalism. Tourette's isn't just blurting out an offensive word. It can be years-long obsession with something like trans life."
Saturday Night Live aired a cut-for-time sketch parodying celebrities attributing their problematic actions to Tourette's syndrome. The sketch featured portrayals of Mel Gibson, Armie Hammer, Bill Cosby, J.K. Rowling, Louis C.K., and Kanye West, each making absurd claims about how the condition caused their controversial behavior. Hammer's character joked that cannibalism is a common Tourette's side effect, while Rowling's character claimed the syndrome caused years-long obsessions with specific topics. The sketch referenced the previous week's BAFTA Awards incident where Tourette's advocate John Davidson involuntarily shouted a racial slur during a presentation by Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan.
