Actor Tom Hanks played a racist Trump supporter in a Saturday Night Live bit for the sketch show’s 50th anniversary on Sunday.
The sketch resurrected the character Doug, who first made an appearance in 2016 for the Black Jeopardy! sketch. Per USA Today:
Hosted as usual by Kenan Thompson’s Darnell, this version of “Black Jeopardy!” featured Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan and Eddie Murphy, who was showing off a Tracy Morgan impression that was almost better than the real thing. Or actually one of the best bits Murphy’s done in the last decade.
Tom Hanks made an appearance as Doug, the MAGA-hat wearing white guy whose first “Black Jeopardy!” appearance found him agreeing with his fellow contestants about everything, except “lives that matter.” This time he suggests that he make his own show, “White Jeopardy!”, so Darnell can join him. No, “we don’t need it. We don’t need it,” Thompson’s Darnell said.

Make America Gump Again, eh Tommy?
May they all go bankrupt and spend their final days in penury.
The original ski was one of the best ever. A classic.
A pedophile portraying a racist? That’s a good one.
They really can’t. Even as they are swirling down the drain like old bath water they can’t stop.
What a tool!
Guess the Hitler thing didn’t work.
Why is that SNL crap still on , does it get it’s money from USAID ?
And future President-Elect Vance smiles through it all for the next 4 years ....
Didn’t see the skit but, Hanks is one of the most overrated actors ever in Hollywood. I’m sure there are many ‘ways’ to become successful in that environment.
I thought he was leaving? Why is he still here?
Wasn’t Tom a visitor to Epstein’s island?
Was there ever any doubt? Which is exactly why I was not tempted to watch it, I knew they would ruin it. The Mutual Admiration Society of leftist, holier-than-thou, self righteous nut jobs. Pass.
I am so old I remember when Saturday Night live was a funny comedy show and not a sour grapes left wing political policy show.
Wife and I tried to watch the show, hoping it would be a collage of old and funny skits. Instead we found ourselves watching and waiting for something funny to occur and tuned out prior to this skit. Reality seems to be they’ve lost it and just can’t get it back.
I allowed myself to think that the show was going to be a retrospective of the things that made the show funny.
Instead, we got the leftist filth that has doomed the show forever.
I turned-it-off after the opening monologue!
The character isn’t racist. Breitbart is clickbait.
T9m hanks the man who was saved by hydroxychloriquine, and who then turnpned around and told the world that they could not have it because it was “dangerous”
No use for tom! He is as hypocritical as they come, and suffers from severe tds
You’d almost think we wasn’t involved with Epstein. Maybe he’s aware that the evidence no longer exists, or soon won’t. I don’t trust the Epstein files in the hands of the FBI.
