Saturday Night Live (SNL) host Colin Jost was surprised by cheers from the audience when his name was mentioned alongside that of alleged murderer Luigi Mangione during the show’s final episode of 2024. Jost played along, saying “yeah, definitely ‘woo’ing for justice.” The segment also joked about Mangione being added to a prison populated by high-profile inmates like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Donald Trump.
Jost looked back at the past year, marveling at how Diddy landed in jail, Trump got re-elected as president, and Elon Musk declared himself co-president. He jokingly stated that all three would be attending SNL’s 50th anniversary celebration, referencing their previous roles as host or musical guest. The segment pokes fun at the often-unpredictable world of politics and celebrity, highlighting Mangione’s unexpected connection to Bumble and Combs’ dry response about getting released early.
