SNL Takes On Super Bowl 50 Backlash w/ "The Day Beyoncé Turned Black"

Saturday Night Live Takes On Super Bowl 50 Backlash With "The Day Beyonc\u00e9 Turned Black."

Saturday Night Live officially sounds off on the backlash that arose after Beyoncé's Super Bowl 50 halftime performance with "The Day Beyoncé Turned Black."SNL's hilarious take on the matter follows Bey's surprise release of the video for "Formation" and her subsequent performance of the track at the Super Bowl. Outrage over the very black imagery accompanying the anthem has set political pundits on fire and prompted protests condemning Beyoncé's unapologetic statement of pride in such a public forum. Packed to the gills with mayhem and pandemonium, the sketch is a response to the ignorance that has ensued since "Formation" first broke the internet and sent a portion of white America reeling. Check the footage below to watch the "The Day Beyoncé Turned Black." Watch the video for "Formation" via Youtube. Get more on SNL via nbc.com.
