00:00Manson, Dahmer, Gacy. Maybe we misjudged them. For you see, here in America...

00:09We love murderers. We love them.

00:11We got Whitney Cummings out.

00:12I love Whitney Cummings.

00:13We had an interesting quick conversation with her about Luigi Mangione.

00:16We say, you know, do you think it's too soon to be making jokes?

00:19Chris Rock made jokes. Stephen Colbert makes jokes.

00:21No, it's never too soon to joke about anything. Ever.

00:25The guy killed someone. Why are we in trouble for making jokes?

00:28It's true. People are more angry at comedians than the guy who shot somebody in the back.

00:32That's a really good point.

00:35And then she kind of calls out, not just America, like our whole humanity.

00:38We are obsessed with murderers. This was the year that people behaved so poorly.

00:41We were like, we're the Menendez brothers so bad, should we let them out?

00:45We stand Gypsy Rose. We were like, murdering your mom is so brat.

00:49Oh my god.

00:51It is kind of how we've treated murderers this year.

00:53Perhaps none more so than alleged killer Luigi Mangione,

00:56who in a matter of days seemingly achieved a Robin Hood folk hero status amongst many Americans.

01:02This is different. Gypsy Rose, one of the reasons people are sympathetic

01:06is because what her mother did was beyond disgusting and awful.

01:10And the same thing with the Menendez.

01:12And the same thing with Luigi. People are saying that.

01:14People are saying it because of his abs.

01:17No.

01:18And because of those pictures.

01:19No.

01:20Yes, they are.

01:22And the day that the murder happened, people were so happy because people hated the healthcare system.

01:26Before they even saw his face.

01:28But when the picture came out, it exploded.

01:31The support for Luigi too is overblown. It's online, the support.

01:35It's a misconception. I saw a poll.

01:38You saw a poll? Where did you see it? Online?

01:43Great to see you, Whitney. You stay cool.
