Timothée Chalamet was back at the helm of the legendary show on Saturday Night Live on NBC, this Friday, November 11, 2023. If overall, his performance was rather good according to viewers, one of his sketches nevertheless created controversy. Indeed, the one who will play Willy Wonka in the prequel to Charlie and the chocolate factory made a tasteless joke related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Facing the group of New York comedians Please Don’t Destroy, Kylie Jenner’s darling played a suicidal singer about to throw himself from a building. One of the members of the group then asks him what matters most to him in life and the distressed man replies: “I guess it’s my music. Yes, it’s my music“. He begins to play for the stars, but the comedians are not at all excited. He still asks them to share it on Instagram. The three men ask him his name and the musician replies: “C’est Hamas, H-A-M-A-S“. “No, man. I’m not going to share a Hamas song on Instagram“, reacts one of the members of the group.
