During this episode, the cast spoofed a Minneapolis morning news show to discuss the trial over George Floyd’s death in custody.
“Sounds like we all agree there’s no way Derek Chauvin walks away from this,” Kate McKinnon said.
Two black cast members, Keenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim, immediately began to express doubt.
McKinnon goes on to discuss how the defense has been arguing that Floyd’s cause of death was actually the fatal amount of drugs in his system.
“And there’s no way the jury is gonna fall for that,” McKinnon says.
The black actors continue to express doubt that a white officer will be convicted.
Midway through the skit, a white cast member playing an anchor disavows violence and property damage.
“I think we can all agree that no matter how bad things are, destroying property is never the answer,” he says.
The two black actors respond with “I wouldn’t say that,” before adding “there’s insurance” and it’s “just property.”
“I just think protests should be non-violent,” the anchor responds, drawing ire from the black cast members who begin downplaying his opinion for being white.

Call me crazy, but comedy should actually be funny.
“ Its called comedy”
Isn’t it supposed to be funny?
L
In this case, it is not funny.
Twould be terrible if their skit ends up in their neighborhood
And it’s not even about politics, I mean Bill Hicks, as lefty as he was, could actually make me laugh.
The battle lines are clearly draw, just need then spark to ignite it.
Unlike most of this forum, I just watched it. Loren Micheals needs to retire.
As did I. It was cringe worthy.
I wonder how SNL actors and crew would feel if a riot prevented getting to the taping of their useless show? or even their grocery store?
Agreed. They suck very badly
Agreed
They are the worst in the history of the show and that’s sayin something.
Just another day at SNL, since 1975....
Especially at wherever the current cast and writers at SNL live! Especially Lorne Michaels!!!! 45 YEARS overdue for HIM to suffer!!!!
Just as “In Living Color” ,and “Mad TV”, would have, if they were still on.
If NORM were still there, he might ‘ve lead off “Weekend Update” with “Murdering Whites and destroying White-owned property is now legal in the United States”.
