Chris Rock joked that “no one would care” about UnitedHealthcare CEO Luigi Mangione’s alleged assassin if he looked like Jonah Hill in his “Saturday Night Live” monologue.
“We have Luigi… you know. And that’s good. I’m really sorry for the family. I mean, everyone is obsessed with how good this guy is,” he said on the sketch comedy show on Saturday.
“If he looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care. They had already given him the chair. He would be dead, okay? » added the actor.
Rock, 59, said Mangione allegedly “killed a man” who had a family and children.
“I mean, I have my condolences…I have real condolences for the healthcare CEO. She’s a real person, you know? he continued.
“But you also have to say, ‘You know, sometimes drug dealers get shot.’ I mean, you’ve seen “The Wire,” right,” the actor said as the audience burst into laughter.
Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as he walked outside a Hilton hotel in New York on Dec. 4.
After police arrested the Ivy League graduate, photos of him went viral online, with many users thirsting over his appearance.
Mangione was charged with second-degree murder, several firearms-related charges, forgery, false identification to police and more.
Elsewhere in his opening monologue, Rock criticized Jake Paul for beating Mike Tyson in their high-profile boxing match last month.
“Who is this Jake Paul?” asked the “Everybody Hates Chris” alum.
“This 27-year-old punches a 60-year-old man in the face. Is this what the white man has been reduced to? Stop it! he added.
“Who will he fight next, Morgan Freeman? I hate Jake Paul. I have the owners’ hatred for him.
