Woody Harrelson delivered a monologue about vaccines Saturday on Saturday Night Live, stunning spectators.
The famous actor used his fifth-time hosting the late night show to deliver a description of a divided nation, defining himself as a “redneck hippie,” according to Daily Beast.
“You know, the red in me thinks you should be allowed to own guns,” Harrelson said. “The blue in me thinks – squirt guns. So, I’m red and blue which makes purple. I’m purple.”
Applause emerged as he extended his arms to receive his Five-Timers club jacket, which he did not receive during the segment.
“So the movie goes like this. The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians, and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes, and people can only come out if they keep taking the cartel’s drugs, and keep taking them over and over,” Harrelson said.

He said he threw the script away.
“Who was gonna believe that crazy idea? They enforced to do drugs?” Harrelson said, containing laughter, “I do that voluntarily all day long.”

His comments drew both praise and criticism over the comments.
“I just read Woody Harrelson’s monologue,” one person tweeted. “I guess I’m not a good sport, anymore because I don’t find anti-vax jokes funny while we lost a good chunk of America due to stupid people spreading it to others.”
Another agreed, writing, “Re Woody Harrelson and #SNL, whenever anyone spews anti-vax stupidity, I always think of the countless videos of traumatized/crying doctors, nurses and hospital workers who were climbing over bodies in Covid’s early days. So yeah, f– Woody Harrelson.”
“And we got called ‘conspiracy theorists’..” tweeted Graham Allen.
“Just made 2023 for me! Absolutely [100 emoji] awesome,” one user wrote.
