and eat him for dinner. Which would have been a sight to see AND to savor.

When he was just a guest at that one WHCD awhile back where we saw sour-faced reaction shots from him every time somebody onstage poked fun at him, I’d guess that’s why he was a no-show throughout his “term”.

As far as I can remember, EVERY President has attended, survived being the butt of jokes, and even laughed along with it. But not “Donald the Delicate”.

Tells you a LOT.

He does an excellent job with the Weekend Update segment each week and I expect him to be as good if not better tonight.

She’s come a long way recently. I was actually concerned for her a couple years ago.

Hairdo was intriguing, nice dress, lost weight…

Opinions always vary in this regard.

Must be the placement of the microphones or something because it sounds like a constant din in the room.

No cafeteria-looks. Tuxes and lots of fancy skin-baring gowns.
