Woody Harrelson SNL Covid monologue: Drug cartels, media and government colluded

Elon Musk says he was spot on

Newsroom February 28 05:21

Woody Harrelson’s opening monologue during “Saturday Night Live,” where he referenced the COVID-19 pandemic and collaboration between the medical industry and the government to push vaccines, has sparked backlash online. And Twitter CEO Elon Musk chimed in on the discussion.

Closing out the segment, Harrelson talks about a film pitch that included one of the “craziest script” he’s read, which included the “biggest drug cartels” forcing people to remain in their homes unless they agreed to take and keep taking their drugs.

“So the movie goes like this,” the actor explained. “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 then joked: “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.”
