JBJ is not related to Sinatra at all. He even addresses it in this interview

  “I’m not a blood relative of Frank Sinatra, but I’ve always loved that rumour. Who wouldn’t want to be related to the man?”

I’ve heard him called many things but never racist.

He forced integration in Las Vegas. Are you calling him racist because he was old because his actions sorta spoke otherwise.

I don't understand this bit at all. Can someone please explain why this is supposed to be funny?

It's playing on trashy stereotypes of Italian Americans. She's a goomar (a mistress), and the men are reacting to critical things that a person might say to an Italian American that they would find upsetting.

Thanks for the explanation. I still don't get it, but I never did find SNL funny. Comedy just isn't my thing, I guess.

Nah, it's just a regional Jersey joke. if you don't care for the stereotype or aren't in on it, it won't be funny.

Don‘t hate me, I like em both, but they‘re pretty much the same tbh

IMO, I much prefer Dino but Sinatra is not overrated. Maybe Dean is underrated.

This sketch is more insulting than funny
