SNL features Peanut the Squirrel's widow discussing his controversial death

On Saturday Night Live, Sarah Sherman portrayed Peanut the Squirrel's widow, Mrs. Hazel Nut, discussing the challenges she faced after her husband's death. She humorously recounted the police raid and the circumstances of Peanut's euthanasia. Peanut was taken by authorities on October 30 due to complaints about rabies. He was later euthanized, and it was revealed that he was decapitated for testing, although he tested negative for rabies. The skit highlighted the controversy surrounding Peanut's death, which became a topic of discussion leading up to the November 5 election. Peanut was a well-known internet personality, owned by Mark Lango for seven years.
