“Saturday Night Live”'s cold open featured a parody of crime critic Nancy Grace and the public's reaction to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO.
of The skit has started Comedian Sarah Sherman shared her impressions of Grace, noting that the headline story was “Masked CEO shooter exposed.”
“And of course, everyone online praised the hard work of law enforcement in apprehending this dangerous criminal,” said Sherman, who echoed Grace. “Just kidding, you psychotics made him a sex symbol.”
“Yes, medical assassin Luigi Mangione excites and annoys women and gay men alike,” she continued.
Mangione was arrested and charged last week in Manhattan with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Biran Thompson. He was taken into custody after an employee at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania tipped off police.
Thompson's murder and the suspect's flea sparked a multi-day investigation. Mr. Mangione has been indicted on five counts in Pennsylvania, and prosecutors are considering extraditing him to New York. However, his lawyers dispute this, saying they have not seen any evidence that Mangione is the murderer.
Amid the outpouring of online support for Mangione, several businesses, including McDonald's in Pennsylvania, are battling negative publicity. He's garnered sympathy and support online, perhaps thanks to the large number of people with problems in the medical industry.
During the SNL show, Sherman, who plays Grace, questioned why Americans are so obsessed with Mangione.
“This man is not a sex icon. This man is, I couldn't be more clear, a murderer,” she said incoherently.
Kenan Thompson's character participates in a Pennsylvania McDonald's skit where he is asked whether he thinks people are actually attracted to Mangione.
“Well, I mean, if you look at him, you can tell he's had sex,” Thompson said.
Grace wondered if the country's health care system was really that bad, and Thompson said her insurance plan was “hoping it would go away.”
