From markhdaniell: Woody Harrelson on 'SNL' COVID monologue backlash: 'It don't change my life one bit'
During his hosting stint in February, Harrelson, 61, seemingly took aim at COVID vaccine mandates when he tried to joke about the “craziest script” he’s ever read.
“So the movie goes like this: The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over,” Harrelson said.
“I threw the script away. I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day.” Harrleson’s wisecrack seemed to be a swipe at vaccine mandates and the 2020 lockdown, which was implemented to stop the spread of COVID-19.Article content“You know, the red in me thinks you should be allowed to own guns,” thestar said. “The blue in me thinks – squirt guns. So, I’m red and blue which makes purple. I’m purple.”
Predictably, Harrelson’s speech divided the keyboard crowd, with several venting their frustration with the actor’s attempt at humour.. “I guess I’m not a good sport, anymore because I don’t find anti-vax jokes funny while we lost a good chunk of America due to stupid people spreading it to others.”, “Whenever anyone spews anti-vax stupidity, I always think of the countless videos of traumatized/crying doctors, nurses and hospital workers who were climbing over bodies in Covid’s early days.
