Breaking News: SNL's Weekend Update Scores Big with Scathing Jabs at KPop Demon Hunters, Golden Globe Noms, and Stranger Things Cast In a hilarious and biting episode of Saturday Night Live, Weekend Update anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost delivered a series of scorching one-liners that left audiences in stitches. The Dec. 13 episode saw the duo tackle a range of topics, including the latest news from the world of entertainment. The Weekend Update segment began with a series of jokes about President Trump's recent Kennedy Center events, where he hosted an award ceremony for Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, and rock band KISS, as well as a musical performance by The Village People. Che and Jost poked fun at Trump's perceived nostalgia for the 1970s, with Che quipping, "Is Donald Trump a gay man from 1978?" The segment also touched on Trump's comments about the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Brothers Discovery, with Jost joking, "Maybe he's just trying to get in on the streaming action." The duo also took aim at the KPop Demon Hunters, a group of fans who have been accused of harassment and intimidation towards KPop idols. Che and Jost skewered the group's behavior, with Che saying, "They're like the Avengers, but instead of saving the world, they're just saving their favorite KPop group from themselves." The segment also included a series of jokes about the Golden Globe nominations, with Jost quipping, "I'm not saying the Golden Globes are rigged, but I heard the envelopes were printed on recycled paper from the Oscars' dumpster." The Weekend Update segment also featured a series of jokes about the Stranger Things cast, who appeared on the show in a pre-recorded sketch. Che and Jost poked fun at the show's nostalgic value, with Jost saying, "Stranger Things is like the ultimate time capsule – it's like someone took all the bad fashion from the 80s and 90s and put it in a blender and hit puree." The Dec. 13 episode of SNL was a standout performance for Che and Jost, who have been anchoring the Weekend Update segment since 2014. The episode marked a return to form for the show, which has been struggling to find its footing in recent seasons. As the entertainment world continues to evolve, one thing is clear: SNL's Weekend Update is still the go-to destination for biting commentary and hilarious one-liners. With Che and Jost at the helm, audiences can expect more of the same in the coming weeks.
