As at all times, Saturday Night time Stay’s “Weekend Replace” sketch on Saturday, October 15, riffed on the earlier seven days of world information… and what a very bizarre week it was.
For starters, Kanye West posted antisemitic tweets, which have been then condemned by organizations like Anti-Defamation League and the Black Jewish Leisure Alliance. “‘Black Jewish Leisure Alliance’? Simply say Lenny Kravitz,” Michael Che quipped on Saturday’s “Weekend Replace.”
Then “Weekend Replace” cohost Colin Jost talked about the Elon Musk tweet through which the Tesla CEO — and possible future proprietor of Twitter — stated that he “talked to Ye and expressed considerations about his latest tweet” and thought West took these considerations “to coronary heart.”
“Properly, that settles it,” Jost stated. “If there’s one factor we belief Elon with, it’s efficiently studying one other human being’s emotional cues.” (SNL devotees could keep in mind that the NBC present controversially had Musk host a Season 46 episode.)
The “Weekend Replace” duo additionally delved into the January sixth committee’s ongoing investigation — in addition to Donald Trump’s response to the committee subpoenaing him.
“Trump responded with a 14-page letter. 14 pages. OK, Unabomber,” Jost stated. “My favourite a part of Trump’s letter is the start as a result of it’s on very nice letterhead, [and] it begins ‘Expensive Chairman Thompson,’ after which the primary line is simply screaming. It’s like studying a Victorian love letter that claims, ‘My beloved Winifred, who the hell are you having intercourse with?’”
In different January sixth information, Che reported that the committee confirmed “a never-before-seen video … of a determined Nancy Pelosi talking on the telephone with Mike Pence, which to Pence counts as adultery.”
“Within the video, Pelosi stated that she wished to punch out Donald Trump and knew if she did, she’d go to jail and be pleased,” Che added. “I assume as a result of she owns inventory in personal prisons.”
And talking of Trump, Jost cited Mitch McConnell’s feedback that he’s not involved with Trump calling to have McConnell eliminated as Senate Minority Chief. “In actual fact, McConnell stated the threats make snort more durable than his favourite comedy present, Dahmer,” Jost added, referencing the controversial Netflix sequence.
