Black Jeopardyis a parody of the long-running game showJeopardy!
Thompson, who played the parody shows host, agreed with Doug and walked towards him for a handshake.
But the MAGA-hat-wearing character appeared to recoil, saying, Dont like that, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We dont need it, Thompson replied.

It was rather disgusting, one wrote.
What a disgrace @nbcsnl to decide to exclude an audience of millions who grew up watching your programming.
Hanks portrayed himselfas an ignorant racistwho refused to shake a Black mans hand, read another fiery comment.

In that episode, too, Doug initially hesitated to shake the hosts hand.
Tucker revealed that Doug backing away from the hosts handshake was a completely in-the-moment idea that Hanks created himself.
When he did it, I laughed super-hard in my mind but played it off, Thompson recalled.
It was the most natural ad-lib Ive ever done.
