SNL cold open questions why the internet finds Luigi Mangione so hot

by

Saturday Night Live’s latest cold open took aim at the latest viral sensation: internet thirst for Luigi Mangione, the middle-aged Staten Island “meatball man.” The sketch poked fun at the bizarre phenomenon, with cast member Bowen Yang portraying Mangione as a clueless and oblivious charmer.

The sketch highlighted the contrast between Mangione’s unimpressive demeanor and the over-the-top reactions he elicits online. “What is it about Luigi that makes everyone lose their minds?” Yang mused. “Is it his receding hairline? His dad jokes? His unexplained ability to make meatballs levitate?”

The sketch’s humor lies in its skewering of the internet’s seemingly irrational infatuation with the “meatball man,” leaving viewers to ponder the true nature of viral thirst.
