Saturday Night Live is in hot water for its “Tourette’s” sketch.
The N-word incident at last weekend’s BAFTA Awards unsurprisingly caught the attention of the late-night comedy show, but its angle on the controversy has drawn fierce criticism from the charity organization Tourettes Action.
“This is not acceptable,” the organization’s CEO, Emma McNally, told Deadline on Monday in response to the sketch. “Mocking a disability is never acceptable. It would not be tolerated for any other condition, and it should not be tolerated by people with Tourette’s.”
