‘SNL’ Weekend Update’s Tucker Carlson Shades Summer Box Office Hits: ‘Spider-They, Spider-Them’

During the "Weekend Update" segment on Saturday Night Live's Season 52 premiere, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson took aim at this summer's blockbuster films. When asked if he had seen Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," Carlson responded sarcastically, "Oh yes. 'The Odyssey' in IMAX 70mm. That's right. The Hollywood cabal shoots its filth with 'millimeters,' or as I like to call it, 'The Gay Inch.'"

Turning his attention to the biggest movie of the summer, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," Carlson mocked the film's title, joking, "Everybody loves 'Spider-Man: Brand New Gender.' Spider-They, Spider-Them, uses whatever bathroom it feels like." When Jost commented on the recent marriage of Holland and Zendaya, Carlson playfully asked about Zendaya's last name, saying, "But where did it go?

And who took it? And why? Sorry, kids, you don't get two names anymore! You only get one name! Like a dog!" The segment also criticized this summer's biggest surprise hit, "Obsession," calling it left-wing propaganda. Carlson joked about a woman being forced into a heterosexual relationship, questioning the film's message and the audience's reaction.

He jokingly admitted his train of thought had gone astray, only to continue questioning the film's purpose. Finally, Carlson mentioned a "big summer" for "Minions & Monsters," but clarified he was referring to the Trump cabinet, stating, "That's right. I've turned on Trump. I'm so brave!"
