<p>The audience at NBC&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/saturday-night-live" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221;</a> cheered upon hearing the name of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/luigi-mangione" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luigi Mangione</a>, the man who is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/luigi-mangione-indicted-for-murder-in-new-york-faces-terrorism-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged with</a> murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City earlier this month.</p>
<p>It happened when &#8220;Weekend Update&#8221; anchor Colin Jost began to talk about Mangione being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/luigi-mangione-waives-extradition-taken-into-nypd-custody" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transported</a> back to New York City by authorities after he was captured in Pennsylvania. Jost barely managed to mention Mangione&#8217;s name before the audience cheered and he stopped mid-joke to acknowledge the elation in the room.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">SNL Weekend Update mentions CEO kiIIer Luigi Mangione and the crowd applauds &amp; cheers <a href="https://t.co/Hn6k2kTBp2">pic.twitter.com/Hn6k2kTBp2</a></p>
<p>&mdash; End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) <a href="https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1870707787157959091?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 22, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Yea. Yea. Definitely, &#8216;Woo!'&#8221; Jost quipped, looking around the room and eliciting a round of laughter. &#8220;You&#8217;re wooing for justice right?&#8221;</p>
<p>Jost then returned to his joke.</p>
<p>&#8220;Luigi Mangione dropped his extradition fight and was flown from Pennsylvania to New York to face multiple charges. In related news, Bumble exploded,&#8221; he said, referring to a dating app.</p>
<p>The popular &#8220;End Wokeness&#8221; account shared a clip of the moment on X, prompting some criticism.</p>
<p>&#8220;Revolting. Sickening. Vile,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/StephenM/status/1870822869946843344" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Stephen Miller, senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;So disgusting… and Colin Jost just smirks away as if it’s all one big giggle. Shameful moment for SNL,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/piersmorgan/status/1870836817433600356" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> British broadcaster Piers Morgan.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yup,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/Timcast/status/1870835079800594746" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> podcast host Tim Pool. &#8220;This was always the left.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Too many leftists are sick, evil monsters,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/mrddmia/status/1870717645731098728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Mike Davis, a former Senate staffer who now leads the Article III Project. &#8220;They only respect power. Power is their god. So we must use power to crush them. Legally, financially, and politically. No mercy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mangione, 26, faces a bevy of state and federal counts for murder and other crimes that could lead to prison time or even the death penalty if there are convictions. A lawyer for Mangione has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/luigi-mangione-healthcare-ceo-shooting-what-we-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicated</a> his client plans to fight the charges.</p>
<p>Some people have come to idolize Mangione in part for his physical appearance and because of frustration with the health insurance industry.</p>
<p>The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/16/us-news/fans-of-ceo-slay-suspect-luigi-mangione-are-actually-tattooing-his-face-to-their-bodies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> instances of people getting his face tattooed on their bodies. And a group of Mangione&#8217;s supporters even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/luigi-mangione-waives-extradition-taken-into-nypd-custody" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed up</a> to a courthouse in Pennsylvania last week when he waived his extradition to New York.</p>
<p>NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch chided those who celebrated Thompson&#8217;s killing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let me say this plainly, there is no heroism in what Mangione did. This was a senseless act of violence. It was a cold and calculated crime that stole a life and put New Yorkers at risk,&#8221; Tisch said. &#8220;We don’t celebrate murders and we don’t lionize the killing of anyone. And any attempt to rationalize this is vile, wreckless, and offensive to our deeply held principles of justice.&#8221;</p>
