Tourette’s

Saturday Night Live cut-for-time sketch


Saturday Night Live planned to tackle the controversy at the Bafta awards on last night's NBC show, but the sketch was cut for time.

Nonetheless it was uploaded to YouTube.

Last week Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson make an involuntary racial slur because of his neurological disorder, with the BBC under fire for not editing out from the later broadcast.

In the SNL skit,  a host of celebrities, including JK Rowling, Mel Gibson and Louis CK claim they suffer from Tourette’s to explain their actions.
