    watch SNL anymore” (Maclean par.4). Leguizamo wants nothing to do with anything that is associated with Trump because of something Trump said that he didn’t agree with. Maclean goes on to say that “Leguizamo told Yahoo News that he found it hurtful and insulting that SNL and NBC would have Trump on the show” (Maclean par. 3).
