‘SNL’ Weekend Update: Tucker Carlson Gets Triggered by Oscars Nominees

On Saturday Night Live, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson blasted Sunday’s Oscars nominees and the supposed left-wing agenda on display at the annual awards show.

Carlson (Jeremy Culhane) spoke with Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost about several films.

“Let’s all go to the movies. Huh. Really? Yes, why don’t we grab some popcorn and watch American culture collapse. What are we doing? What’s going on?” he said, in what was the first iteration of those favorite questions of his.

“Why don’t we talk about Sinners. That’s right, Sinners. Because of course, leftist woke America’s favorite movie this year is about sinning. Huh. Really?” he continued. “Why does that not surprise me? No, sorry kids, we don’t go to church anymore. We go to Sinners. That’s the rule. That’s the goal now. What are we doing? What’s going on?”

As for Hamnet, Carlson claimed that title itself was politically correct.

“Oh, Hamnet, because we’re not allowed to say ‘Hamlet‘ anymore,” he complained. “They took the ‘L’ and gave it to the ‘GBTQ.’ What are we doing? What’s going on?”

“Hamnet—a boy who shows interest in theater dies. I actually liked that part,” he added, throwing in several “excuse me’s” to Jost, who wasn’t interrupting.

Turning to Bugonia, Carlson was beside himself: “I guess heterosexual women aren’t allowed to have hair anymore.”

“Whatever happend to the great American film?” he wondered, citing Gone With the Wind and “the first 20 minutes of Forrest Gump.”
