Chris Rock Delivers Hilarious Take on "Luigi the Assassin" During SNL Christmas Monologue

Chris Rock kicked off SNL’s Christmas episode with a scorching monologue, taking aim at America’s latest viral fixation: UnitedHealthcare CEO-turned-fugitive “Luigi the Assassin.” Rock wasted no time poking fun at the absurdity of the situation, joking about the collective obsession with the fugitive’s good looks. “If this guy looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care,” Rock quipped, drawing uproarious laughter from the live audience.

The bizarre saga of “Luigi” has dominated headlines, social media, and even SNL’s Weekend Update. Anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che kept the laughs rolling, dissecting America’s fascination with the corporate assassin. They took jabs at the ongoing debate over who would play Luigi in a Netflix series, a casting discussion that’s overshadowed the actual legal drama.

SNL fans are applauding Rock’s comedic timing and the show’s knack for turning strange news into sharp satire. Whether Luigi ends up in a courtroom or a Netflix mini-series, one thing is clear: SNL is here to keep America laughing at its wildest stories.
