Comedian Rob Schneider is the latest public figure to slam the 2024 Paris Olympic Games' opening ceremony for allegedly "celebrating Satan" with a performance that many interpreted as mocking the iconic Leonardo da Vinci painting of Jesus and his disciples during "The Last Supper." The comedian and former "Saturday Night Live" star tore into the spectacle on X this Sunday, two days after the performance caught attention across the globe. "I am sorry to say to all the world’s greatest athletes, I wish you all the best, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan," he wrote in a post. "I sincerely hope these Olympics get the same amount of viewers as CSPAN," he added.

The spectacle featured a performer wearing a silvery headdress with drag artists and dancers to the right and left. A scantily-clad singer, painted blue, also appeared on the table during the performance.

Later Sunday, an outraged Schneider shared an image of the blue-painted performer on X, captioning the post, "Guys with their genitalia hanging out in front of children?!

Drag Queens?! I wasn’t sure if I was watching the Olympics, or if I was watching a school board meeting…" Backlash ensued online following the opening ceremony, with notable figures like Elon Musk, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, actress Candace Cameron Bure, fitness guru Jillian Michaels and former President Donald Trump condemning the performance.
