Saturday Night Live addressed the ongoing controversy at Cornell University with a joke — and it not-so-surprisingly left viewers divided.
Weekend Update co-host Michael Che started his segment on a serious note during Saturday’s episode as he addressed the civil lawsuit alleging that a woman was gang raped by seven students at a Cornell fraternity house in 2024 as “one of the big stories in the news this week.” No criminal charges have been filed in connection to the case, but after the civil suit and national attention, prosecutors are again looking at the facts.
