Marcelo hernandez gay
– Marcello Hernandez is facing rumors that his fans are calling him transgender. He made a statement, saying he has lived as a woman for several years. Also, his appearance on SNL, where he played a sassy role, led people to believe he might be gay. However, the comedian has yet to make any statement regarding his sexuality. While photos of Marcello dancing with Kaia Gerber went viral in September , it’s unclear what Marcello’s current relationship status is.
Marcello often references his love of baseball on social media and, on occasion, SNL sketches. Marcello Andrés Hernández-Gonzáles (born August 19, ) [1][2] is an American comedian. He has been a cast member of the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live since the show's 48th season in [3] Hernández grew up in Miami, Florida, where he attended Belen Jesuit Preparatory School.

It seemed as if the pressure to hire non-white-passing cast members was so intense that the casting department was too afraid to take their time to find actors that were actually qualified for the position. The same standard seemed to be held for new white-passing hires, who lacked the talent and wit of previous cast members.
A good comedian, following in the path of the court jester, forces all audience members—of all different political persuasions—to laugh while simultaneously feeling uncomfortable, provoking them to see the nuances of said issues from a more human light. Born in Miami to a Cuban mother and Dominican father, he first garnered attention from a series of viral TikToks.
In addition to having excellent charisma, comedic timing, and a knack for physical humor, Hernandez has a way of making jokes about his ethnicities that is insightful and genuinely funny…thus deviating from the current status quo at SNL. Rather, it speaks of his rootedness in a rich cultural legacy. Unlike the flat, monolithic senses of humor of his castmates, Marcello is the type of comedian who can get deep belly laughs out of audiences while making them think deeply about cultural phenomena.
Hopefully he will set a new trend at SNL. I find Andy Cohen to be a thoroughly wretched human being…which is part of the reason I love him. Reality show creators like Cohen must be in touch with the tension between the sacred and the diabolical in order to create the shows they create. Take figures like Mark Burnette or himself, or Chris Beha who excellently depicts this tension in his novel Arts and Entertainments.
Andy Cohen has created an empire the celebrates the basest, most vulgar impulses of the human condition…and does so with wit, precision, and a deep understanding of the human psyche. This is why I admire him, despite finding him to be a morally atrocious person. Cohen is more victimizer than victim. He and his cohost Anderson Cooper—who perfectly fits the mold of the tame, bourgeois, WASPy gay—symbolized the conflict between pre- and post-Stonewall narratives of homosexuality.
Cohen refuses to cover the debaucherous, Dionysian impulse inherent to the archetype of the sodomite. Unlike Cooper, who symbolizes the Apollonian Anglo need to maintain a facade of normalcy and respectability, Cohen—tapping both into his sexual inversion and his Jewish cultural heritage—is a prophetic truth teller. In a world of Pete Buttegiegs and Anderson Coopers, Andy Cohen is one of the last vestiges of the traditional archetype of gay man as Dionysian deviant.
Comedians are called to be equal opportunity disturbers of the peace. Their routines should arouse discomfort and provoke deeper thought for all people, regardless of social class, political persuasion, and ethnic background. The trend for Netflix comedians who identify as minorities is to substitute insightful comedy with crude virtue signaling that reads off the standard neoliberal left script.
I cannot deny that Maniscalco has the potential to be funny. His Italian roots come out in his diction, mannerisms, and way of construing social interactions in his jokes. The bland safeness of his humor never risks to pierce public consciousness and arouse deep questioning that the great comedians have always done.
As a straight white male, he knows his place. His Italianness can only be a mere afterthought, sprinkled on top of his jokes like seasoning, but never really allowing it to act as a real foundation or source of inspiration to dig into the decidedly un-Mediterranean, suffocatingly Anglo-Saxon cultural norms du jour.
