SNL Weekend Update Targets Donald Trump’s Time Cover

Because Donald Trump is the gift that keeps on giving SNIWeekend Update’s Colin Jost took the requisite swipe at the recent Time cover of the president-elect on the grounds that “no one on earth has taken more of our goddamn time.”

Michael Che then took the baton by saying how Amazon plans to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration because “Amazon and Trump want to ship things as quickly as possible.”

“Trump also said Friday that he would try to end Daylight Savings Time by challenging the sun to a staring contest,” Jost replied, as a humiliating shot of Trump watching the sun was flashed in the corner.

Here are some other political bon mots from behind the desk Saturday:

“It was announced that Matt Gaetz will host a new talk show on One American News Network called The Matt Gaetz Show,” said Che. “She’ll cover everything from quinceañeras to prom night jitters.”

“A lawyer working with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has petitioned the government to withdraw its approval of the polio vaccine,” began Jost. “Because it wouldn’t be Christmas without some Tiny Tim.”

“Elon Musk gave more than $20 million to the mysterious RBG pact, which claimed that Trump and Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed on the issue of abortion,” said Che. “Wow, I never knew Trump was pregnant with her.”

“Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made her Broadway debut in a one-night stand in & Juliet,” says Jost, “while Clarence Thomas blew everyone off the stage in Kinky Boots.”
