Colin Jost has some thoughts to share about cries of “woke Disney.”
The company’s sudden flip from half-assedly opposing Florida’s dystopian “Don’t Say Gay” bill to cutting off GOP politicians who supported said bill has prompted backlash from the political right. But as Jost sharply points out during this Saturday Night Live Weekend Update segment, there’s 90 years of sometimes-questionable cartoon history from the company that undermines any suggestion of Disney suddenly becoming radically progressive.
It was a busy news week, so there’s plenty as well about Vladimir Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, along with high gas prices, a new and overdue hate crime law in the U.S., and antics from Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Trump-y governor.
