National security breach... and Paddington bear
SNL's Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che
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!’
