In a recent segment on The Daily Show, correspondent Ronny Chieng tackled the perplexing case of the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder, offering his signature blend of sharp wit and social commentary.
Chieng highlighted the bizarre detail of bullet casings found at the crime scene, each bearing the inscription “UnitedHealthcare.” “Apparently,” Chieng quipped, ”the shooter wanted to make sure we knew which ones were his.”
“It looks like it’s either a criticism of the health insurance industry,or this guy was just trying to solve the Wordle on his bullets,” Chieng added,drawing laughter from the audience.
Chieng went on to suggest a humorous solution to America’s declining literacy rates: “Honestly, I think all bullets should probably say stuff on them. I mean how else are we going to get Americans to read again, right? We should load up a machine gun with A Tale of Two Cities written in it.”
Expressing skepticism about the police investigation, Chieng joked, “The cops just need to narrow down their list of suspects to anyone in America who hates their healthcare plan and has access to guns,” adding sarcastically: “Should be solved in no time.”
Chieng also referenced a news report suggesting the killer may have stopped at a Starbucks before the murder. (CBS News) (The Daily Beast)
“You stopped at a Starbucks on your way to your assassination?” Chieng asked rhetorically.“‘You know me, I can’t even think about murdering until I’ve had my coffee.‘”
Chieng concluded with a wry observation: “this is helpful though, because the guy went to the Starbucks. So we now know he’s either a tourist or a local who really needed to take a s–t.”
