I should have known you’d hear from the rest of the peanut gallery. All in fun. ---

Me, OP of that comment, wasn’t even going to bring it up! Jeeze 🙂 I make so many legit mistakes and reading comprehension errors that I cannot begin to critique others. ---

BTW, I didn’t get to see the show, but I have seen items discussing how Tom Hanks gave a performance that was some sort of vile insult to millions of Americans (presumably the ones who voted for the America-hating fuckstick). I also presume it involved a Black Jeopardy! sketch. But I haven’t been able to find a clip of the entire sketch, only the moment when his character shrinks back in fear at being offered a handshake. Can anyone link to the entire sketch? TIA ---

It was a reappearance of a character who had originally appeared a few years ago, in a widely praised episode of “Black Jeopardy,” so you may want to watch that first for background: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/O7VaXlMvAvk/maxresdefault.jpg "Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks - SNL") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7VaXlMvAvk) And here’s the sketch from the SNL 50th show: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/9qYM6bKl57A/maxresdefault.jpg "Black Jeopardy – SNL50") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qYM6bKl57A) IMHO the sketch overall was fun, especially Eddie Murphy’s impression of Tracy Jordan, but the Tom Hanks appearance fell flat because they didn’t really do anything new with him. ---

Okay, thanks. I was confused because the previews all showed Eddie Murphy, so I thought there might be another one. ETA: I didn’t see what was so insulting, though. What a bunch of snowflakes MAGAts are. ---

They need some seriously padded safe spaces to locate their fainting couches and smelling salts.
