Colin Jost and Michael Che mocked the Signal group chat national security scandal on Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update last night.
But it wasn’t all politics, with Che taking a swipe at Will Smith‘s first album in two decades, joking: ‘Ironically the album doesn’t slap’.
Later on, Jost described Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Greenland as a ‘sad reboot of Veep’.
And Jost had an iconoclastic swipe at Paddington: after a British judge branded thieves who stole a statue of the bear as the ’antithesis of everything’ the character stands for,
He said: ‘Hear me out — Paddington’s a toxic bitch. He is an illegal immigrant, freeloading off a nice, gullible white family. His sticky little marmalade paws are just waiting to rip open that trench coat so he can flash our straight children. I can’t wait to call ICE on his Peruvian ass!’
