WATCH: Hilarious parody sketch mocks Jussie Smollett's hoax: 'The performance of the year'
February 23, 2019
Worthy of an Oscar
Less than a month ago, Jussie Smollett was a lead actor on the hit FOX show "Empire."
Now, after his arrest this week for allegedly orchestrating a fake hate crime against himself (he was techincally arrested for filing a false police report), Smollett was relegated to mockery at the behest of "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah.
In a parody sketch released Friday, "The Daily Show" mocked the actor and the "story of a lie that rocked the nation."
