“Saturday Night Live” is facing backlash for parodying a Try Guys video that addressed Ned Fulmer’s cheating scandal — but arguably missed the point.
In the original now-viral clip, YouTube stars Eugene Lee Yang, Zach Kornfeld and Keith Habersbergerafter discovering he was having a workplace affair with video producer Alexandria Herring, a junior employee.
