What Tom Hanks Really Said on SNL That Sparked Backlash

The Tom Hanks SNL controversy flared up after his sketch on the 50th anniversary show, especially among Republican viewers. The sketch featured Hanks reprising his “Black Jeopardy!” character, Doug, a Trump supporter who declines a handshake and suggests a “White Jeopardy!” version of the show.

This sparked outrage on social media, with some conservatives feeling mocked and calling for boycotts of Hanks’s films. Critics argued that it ridiculed millions of Americans, while others saw it as typical political satire. The controversy highlights the divisiveness of political humor today.
