The level of LSU women's basketball star Angel Reese's fame has gone all the way to 'Saturday Night Live,' where she was parodied on Weekend Update.
The comedic segment then ventured into NIL territory with Johnson pitching catchphrases for items like garden gnomes and eyelashes before celebrating the success of the tournament. Reese holds more NIL deals than any college basketball player, man or woman. And Sunday's NCAA Championship game drew 9.
Through being her authentic and unapologetic self, in her own words, Reese has come to signify cultural, social and even economic issues still being grappled with by people in this country. She's a lightning rod, and her level of national relevance has surged all the way to one of the longest-running shows in American television history.
