Weekend Update Slams Musk Leaving DOGE, Diddy’s Trial and Jost’s Dolls
In the latest installment of “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live,” Colin Jost and Michael Che did not hold back in poking fun at the latest antics of President Donald Trump and other notable figures in the news.
Jost began by addressing Trump’s recent actions, including a controversial AI-generated portrait of himself in holy garb following the death of the pope. Jost, a Catholic, found the post slightly disrespectful, while Che humorously likened it to a one-way ticket to hell.
Switching gears, Che turned his attention to Elon Musk, who announced his decision to step back from his duties as part of the DOGE federal agency. Che couldn’t resist making a quip about Musk pulling out a little too late, garnering laughs from the audience.
The ongoing Diddy saga also made an appearance, with Che teasing the upcoming sex trafficking trial of Sean Combs in New York. Che jokingly stated that he would be attending the trial just like he attends Diddy’s parties – purely for entertainment.
Jost then took a swipe at Trump’s financial policies, specifically his remarks about children receiving only two dolls for Christmas instead of 30. Jost humorously expressed his outrage at the thought of receiving only two dolls on Christmas morning, emphasizing that cutting social security and deporting children were minor concerns compared to the doll shortage.
Che wrapped up the segment with a joke about Uber offering free rides to teens attending prom, suggesting that users might be picked up by controversial figure Matt Gaetz.
