On Saturday, April 8, Louis C.K. hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the fourth time. In this hysterical musical sketch, Louis plays a social justice warrior wannabe named Scott, who is sarcastically thanked by a trio of singers and a rapper for his incessant virtue signalling. The performers are joined by back-up dancers, and the whole thing escalates very quickly.

It’s safe to say that Scott — who adds “Black Lives Matter” to his Twitter bio and constantly shares news articles to his Facebook while sitting on the toilet — is the epitome of slacktivism. And we love him for it.
The song is appropriately titled “Thank You, Scott,” and it’s one heck of an earworm.
We are all Scott these days. @nbcsnl #ThankYouScott #LouisCK
