Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update reunited Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Seth Meyers last night.
The trio – who have all previously co-hosted the section – joined in to make a series of jokes about a 13-pound baby, such as: 'The baby was so big he slapped the doctor on his ass.'
Poehler was the episode’s host, and Fey separate appearance playing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
Earlier in the segments regular hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che make jokes about Donald Trump losing the Nobel Peace Prize and RFK Jr's bizarre obsession with autism.
And in a demonstration of AI, Che introduced a deepfake of Jost into real footage of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein.
