“Well guys, barring a reverse Christmas miracle, this is the last Weekend Update with Donald Trump still in office.”
Colin Jost kicked off the latest Weekend Update sketch with a Green Day-accompanied photo montage of some laugh-worthy moments from Trump’s time in office. Though as with all things Trump, the humor only goes so far as you quickly remember the families his administration tore apart, the acts of hate he personally cheered on, and of course, the unnecessary thousands of extra deaths prompted by the federal government’s quarter-assed response to the coronavirus pandmic.
Nice job, Colin.
Bad jokes define this Weekend Update with an especially cringe-worthy comment about Jill Biden not being a medical doctor, but often serving as President Joe’s nurse. The studio audience immediately groaned. Honestly, Colin’s pained reaction to this total absence of laughter almost makes this whole sketch worth it.
