Actress Victoria Jackson, an alum of Saturday Night Live (SNL), has called out comedian Tom Hanks for his recent sketch at the show’s 50th anniversary special. In a TMZ interview, Jackson criticized the “Black Jeopardy” sketch, claiming it was “stupid” and accused SNL of not making fun of Kamala Harris supporters.
Jackson pointed to an X post from political commentator Link Lauren, who called out the show for perpetuating a racist trope associated with MAGA hats. Meghan McCain also took issue with Hanks’ portrayal, stating he pretends to be a likable everyman but is actually “hate mongering” towards regular Americans.
The sketch drew criticism from Trump supporters online and comes as SNL faces declining ratings.
