Colin Jost and Michael Che from “Saturday Night Live” took aim at Donald Trump and Elon Musk in their latest “Weekend Update” segment. Jost joked about Trump’s AI-generated portrait in holy garb, calling it disrespectful as a Catholic, while Che added a witty remark about Trump’s timing being off. They also poked fun at Elon Musk stepping back from duties at the DOGE federal agency, with Che quipping that he pulled out a little too late.
The ongoing Diddy saga was not spared either, with Che mentioning the upcoming sex trafficking trial of Sean Combs in New York. Che humorously stated that he’s only going to watch the trial, just like he would attend one of Diddy’s parties. Jost also criticized Trump’s financial policies, not because of their impact on the American people, but because it may mean kids getting only two dolls for Christmas instead of 30.
Jost humorously ranted about the horror of waking up on Christmas morning to find only two dolls, threatening to lose his mind over the situation. He joked about cutting social security for the elderly and children being deported, saying they need to grow up sometime. Che added a jab at Kanye West’s malpractice lawsuit against his dentist, quipping about the dentist not realizing the tank was set to “nazi.”
Che closed out the Update with a joke about Uber offering free rides to teens attending prom, suggesting that users might expect Matt Gaetz as their driver. The “Weekend Update” segment was filled with sharp humor and witty commentary on current events, as Jost and Che entertained viewers with their unique take on the news.
