Piers Morgan Calls ‘SNL’ Audience ‘So Disgusting’ After They Cheered for Luigi Mangione: ‘Shameful Moment for ‘SNL’’
Piers Morgan is speaking out against the controversial audience response to a “Weekend Update” joke about Luigi Mangione.
During last night’s “Weekend Update” segment, when host Colin Jost mentioned Mangione, the prime suspect charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the crowd immediately erupted into cheers, prompting figures like Morgan to criticize the show.
While Jost looked uncomfortable at the crowd’s reaction, unable to finish his sentence, he reacted sarcastically by saying: “You’re wooing for justice, right?”
Morgan wrote on X: “So disgusting… and Colin Jost just smirks away as if it’s all one big giggle. Shameful moment for SNL.”
