Arturo Castro's sketch comedy series will air next week's episode instead tonight after three people were killed and 15 injured at the Gilroy Garlic Festival on Sunday. According to The Wrap, the sketch that was pulled features Castro playing a Guatemalan immigrant who "is taking a 'Welcome to the United States”' class when his teacher cautions them about gun violence, including mass shootings. Castro’s character is in disbelief that shootings are so prevalent and seemingly random in the United States."
