Woody Harrelson, who has a history of spreading COVID-19 conspiracy theories, has drawn criticism for appearing to denounce pandemic safety measures and vaccines during his "Saturday Night Live" monologue this weekend.
At the top of Saturday's show, the self-identified "redneck hippie" delivered a rambling stand-up routine that touched on politics, exalted cannabis, promoted his new movie "Champions" — and seemingly likened pharmaceutical companies manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines to "drug cartels" forcing people "to do drugs."
While hosting the latest episode of "SNL" with musical guest Jack White, Harrelson launched into a long-winded story about a film "script" he received in 2019.
