Backlash continues to build against NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) over its recent sketch that parodied the testimony by three presidents of the nation’s top universities regarding alleged anti-Semitism on their campuses.

The sketch, which was broadcast on Dec. 9, featured the testimony of Claudine Gay, Sally Kornbluth, and Liz Magill—the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania—as they were questioned during a House hearing on anti-Semitism.
