Former ‘Saturday Night Live’ writer Kevin Brennan slammed by fans after mocking Matthew Perry’s death

Former Saturday Night Live writer Kevin Brennan sparked backlash after mocking Matthew Perry’s death in multiple social media posts.

News of Perry’s sudden death at age 54 broke on Saturday. The Los Angeles Times reported that the actor was found unresponsive in a hot tub when law enforcement officials responded to a call at Perry’s home. The L.A. coroner’s office later confirmed his death on Sunday, October 29. Brennan was an SNL writer during season 25 from 1999 to 2000 and briefly appeared on “Weekend Update.” While he was in the running to become the “Weekend Update” anchor for the following season, Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon ultimately secured the gig. Brennan chose not to return as a writer.

“U just suck is all,” one social media user hit back. Another added, “Imagine trying to get relevant by mocking someone’s death and their struggles with addiction. We collectively feel so sorry for you.”
