This week’s Weekend Update segment from Saturday Night Live (SNL) tackled hot topics, including Donald Trump’s return to the international stage after his presidential inauguration. Trump made a trip to Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, where he rang the bell.
Pete Hegseth, nominated by Trump for Secretary of Defense, faced criticism after an email from his mother surfaced online. The email claimed Hegseth frequently belittled women and responded with “Bitch, shut up!” When asked about the confirmation process, SNL’s Colin Jost joked that if Hegseth weren’t confirmed, he should be warned.
The comedy duo also poked fun at President Joe Biden, joking about his Christmas theme for this year being “A season of Peace and Light.” Jost humorously said that with Biden always told not to go towards the light, the theme might be ironic. SNL’s Michael Che added that Biden recently visited Africa, claiming it was to visit his friend Barack Obama. The jokes lightheartedly aimed at Trump, Hegseth, and Biden made for an entertaining segment on Weekend Update.
