Tom Hanks’ SNL Skit Angers Trump Supporters
Tom Hanks stirred controversy during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special by playing a MAGA-hat-wearing character named Doug in a “Black Jeopardy” skit. In the sketch, Hanks’ character initially refused to shake host Kenan Thompson’s hand, joking later about creating a “White Jeopardy” show.
Many Trump supporters criticized the skit online, accusing Hanks and SNL of mocking them as “racist rednecks.”
