‘Saturday Night Live’ host Woody Harrelson takes swipe at government, media response to pandemic

Actor Woody Harrelson used his opening monologue on 'Saturday Night Live' to jab the government, the media and the medical industry over how they responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Toward the end of Mr. Harrelson’s monologue, he mentioned the “craziest script” he read recently that pitched a movie about drug cartels forcing people to take their substances in order to earn their freedom.

“I threw the script away,” he said afterward. “I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day.”
