Summary

Tom Hanks reprised his 2016 “MAGA” character, Doug, on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, sparking backlash from Trump supporters.

The sketch, Black Jeopardy!, featured Doug again hesitating to shake hands with a Black host.

Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive, calling it an unfair caricature of Trump voters.

    That was hilarious. I don’t usually care to watch a lot of videos online, but that was well worth it.

    And holy shit, Tom Hanks playing the least racist person ever to wear a MAGA hat. Not nearly offensive enough.

      That’s as evil as he could make it. Probably seemed cartoonishly evil to him.
