NBC Yanks a Trump Promo
According to The Hollywood Reporter, SNL posted a few Trump promos late last night and then a few hours pulled it to remove a line where Trump calls rival Presidential candidate Ben Carson “complete and total loser.” The YouTube video was reposted hours later with the other promos, minus the bit that mentioned Carson.
The eliminated promo said “Because of equal time rules for television, Mr. Trump can only speak for four seconds in this promo,” SNL castmember Cecily Strong said in the original promo. “So let me just say this,” Trump chimed in. “Ben Carson is a complete and total loser.”
Saturday Night Live is under fire by multiple groups for their decision to invite Donald Trump to host the show. “Dump Trump” protests are being planned for later this week by various Hispanic and civil rights organizations.
Here are the remaining promos that haven’t been pulled.
