Piers Morgan Calls ‘SNL’ Audience ‘So Disgusting’ After They Cheered For Luigi Mangione: ‘Shameful Moment for ‘SNL’’


Piers Morgan criticized last night's "SNL" episode after the crowd cheered at host Colin Jost's mention of 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. Since being arrested, Mangione has gone viral, with many people taking interest in his Ivy League background and manifesto speaking out against the healthcare industry’s policies. During last week’s episode, Sarah Sherman joked: “Y’all psychos find him a sex symbol … He has women and gay guys hot and bothered.”
