After the week we’ve had in Trump’s America, this weekend’s Saturday Night Live episode was highly anticipated, to say the least!
All week, we’ve been wondering just what in the world Alec Baldwin would do with the material he was handed on a golden platter, and he did not disappoint!

But not to be outdone by Baldwin’s cold open, Michael Che and Colin Jost did a phenomenal job on Saturday’s “Weekend Update,” hilariously delivering the news of the week. Of course, starting off with the easiest target — Trump’s disaster of a news conference this past Wednesday, Jost quipped:
“Like a golden shower, it was a mess that covered everything. Trump only spoke for 8 minutes, but he somehow covered 4,000 topics.”
Then, after showing a clip of Trump going bat-shit crazy on CNN reporter, Jim Acosta, Che shook his head and joked, “I know I’m not supposed to like that guy, but damn that was funny,” adding:
“The President-Elect just called CNN fake news LIVE on CNN. He hasn’t even been sworn in yet and he’s already made enemies with the CIA, FBI and the national media — that’s ballsy!”
The two go on to discuss a number of subjects surrounding us at the moment, including the confirmation hearing of Jeff Sessions and the ridiculous news that Steve Harvey may soon be assisting Ben Carson in the Housing Department. Che and Jost manage to do all of this in their own special comedic way that helps us find a way to laugh about what is surely the worst time in recent American history. Let’s hope they continue to do this for us for the next 4 years, if we are stuck with Trump for that long.
