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

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.
