The opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics were no laughing matter to “Saturday Night Live” alumnus Rob Schneider.

The actor-comedian has become the latest conservative to dump the games over an Opening Ceremony widely derided as blasphemous.

“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 on social media this week.

The former “Saturday Night Live” star joined a growing backlash against a drag-queen scene during the parade that the committee had said was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” a famous painting of Jesus and His apostles.

In a true knife twist, Mr. Schneider wished on the Olympics the same level of interest as budgetary-markup hearings of the House Ways and Means Committee.

“I sincerely hope THESE @Olympics get the same amount of viewers as @cspan,” he wrote.

In a separate post, Mr. Schneider went into comedian mode and mocked a moment in the tableaux in which a near-naked male, with his body painted blue, clambered onto a table in front of the drag queens during a dance that included child performers.

“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,” he wrote.
