Chris Rock's SNL Monologue Sparks Mixed Reactions

Chris Rock hosted 'Saturday Night Live' and delivered a monologue touching on various news topics, including the arrest of Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Rock humorously noted the public's fascination with Mangione's looks, quipping that if he resembled Jonah Hill, he would have faced a harsher fate. The episode also featured a cold open with Sarah Sherman as Nancy Grace, who criticized the internet's transformation of Mangione into a 'sex symbol' despite his serious charges. Rock's monologue extended to other figures, such as Elon Musk, President-elect Donald Trump, and Jake Paul, drawing laughter with sharp jabs. Despite the comedic approach, Rock expressed genuine sympathy for Thompson's family, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.
