Chris then noted that everyone in the country is fixated on Mangione’s good looks before delivering the punchline… “If he looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care.” They had already given him the chair – he would be dead. .”
Ouch!
Chris then got serious for a moment, reminding the audience that Thompson was a “real person” and a father with children, while also sending his condolences to the CEO’s family.
But then Chris joked, “You also have to say, ‘You know, sometimes drug dealers get shot.'”
