During the February 24 episode of "Saturday Night Live," a politically charged segment took aim at Tom Sandoval from "Vanderpump Rules," who recently found himself embroiled in a cheating scandal with a fellow cast member. The sketch, which tackled the controversial decision by the Alabama Supreme Court regarding frozen embryos, featured a fictional frozen embryo character from Alabama on Weekend Update.
The humor turned to Sandoval when the embryo joked, "I'm like Tom Sandoval - I don't got a brain, I don't got a heart." The comment drew attention to Sandoval's recent gaffe in an interview with The New York Times Magazine, where he compared the fallout from his scandal to media coverage of O.J. Simpson and George Floyd. After receiving backlash, Sandoval issued an apology for his comments, calling the comparison "inappropriate and ignorant."
The SNL segment added to the whirlwind week for Sandoval, who found himself in the spotlight once again for all the wrong reasons. Despite the controversy, the comedic sketch drew applause from the audience and added a humorous touch to the ongoing drama surrounding Sandoval.
The humorous take on Sandoval's recent missteps and the Alabama Supreme Court ruling provided viewers with a comical commentary on the events that have unfolded in popular culture in recent days.
