    Jack Doherty’s viral McLaren crash that got him banned from Kick has made its way into a Saturday Night Live sketch.

    On October 5, 2024, Jack Doherty was driving his McLaren on the highway in the rain when he lost control of the expensive supercar and crashed it into the guardrail.

    The accident left his cameraman bloodied and Jack’s channel was almost immediately banned from Kick. It was later revealed to be a permanent suspension and the accident sparked widespread reactions from high-profile influencers.

    The Kick xQc star called the situation “evil” and slammed the “brain dead” influencer, while others, like 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot, said Jack deserved a prison sentence. jail after realizing he was on his phone when the accident happened.

    On October 12, Saturday Night Live mocked the influencer’s viral mishap in its current affairs sketch “Weekend Update” with comedians Colin Jost and Michael Che.

    “YouTube star totaled his McLaren $200,000 after live-streaming text messages to himself while driving in the rain. Even more tragic, he survived,” said comedian Colin Jost.

    The clip quickly made the rounds on social media, where many shared their thoughts on the SNL host’s comments.

    “This is the first funny thing to come out of SNL,” one user commented.

    “I’m glad they didn’t say his name,” said another.

    “Actually they went further than I thought,” replied a third.

    Since the accident and Kick’s ban, Jack Doherty has found himself streaming on Twitch. At the time of writing, Jack’s streams averaged 132 viewers and lasted less than five minutes at a time.

    It’s unclear if Kick will ever consider letting the influencer return to the platform, but Adin Ross said he would if Doherty paid him $300,000.
