'SNL' Weekend Update tackles AI Pope Trump, Elon stepping away from DOGE
Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost are thriving in Trump’s second term, with no shortage of absurd headlines to skewer.
They opened with the surreal news of Trump posting an AI-generated image of himself as the pope, barely two weeks after the actual death of Pope Francis. Jost joked that Trump apparently attended the funeral, walked past the open casket, and thought, “Oh, we should do a ‘who wore it best.’”
Che followed up with a dig at Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed the amount of fentanyl seized at the border was enough to prevent 75% of Americans from dying. “Don’t threaten us with a good time,” he joked.
The duo also poked fun at Elon Musk, who reportedly stepped back from his role at DOGE. "As always," Che quipped, "Elon pulled out a little too late."
