Trump, Musk, Vance, Rubio - and Big Balls - are going to hate it.

Zelensky will love it.


EDITING to add that host Shane Gillis, with.his RW sympathies, is bombing. He can't stop laughing at his own jokes, but there isn't as much laughing from the audience.


Full video (thanks, Rhiannon12866!):

[leftieNanner]

1. Mike Meyers as Musk! Nt

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Shane Gillis is just plain awful

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. So good to know that I'm not the only one.

That racist, sexist crap was supposed to be funny?

[Tess49]

19. I actually changed the channel. He was awful. Not funny

at all.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. I figured that it would be over soon because the monologues don't last that long.

Fortunately, Weekend Update lived up to expectations.

[highplainsdem]

6. Yep. I edited my OP to mention that he bombed.

[bluesbassman]

7. Beyond awful.

Racist jokes are so 1955.

[TommyT139]

9. And Biden jokes, really?

Orange shitgibbon will be pleased, I guess.

[bluesbassman]

13. Hackneyed, shopworn drivel.

The audience wasn’t having any of it either.

[Cha]

16. Why does SNL let him do that? TY

[nolabear]

8. Painful.

[nolabear]

3. I didn't think they could do it, but they did.

[SheltieLover]

4. Excellent!

Ty for sharing!

[yellow dahlia]

10. Agreed. Shane Gillis was a bad juxtaposition.

[Tadams01KC]

11. Amateur move

Giggling at your own jokes (the host monologue)

[highplainsdem]

12. Giggling nonstop, when very few others were laughing.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Shane Gillis, if it were biologically possible, could be the love child of . . . .

. . . . Dennis Miller and Andrew Dice Clay.

[highplainsdem]

15. I've added partial video to the OP.

[Cha]

17. Lol... That was funny... the guy who was Zelensky

didn't get much to say... he sure did look the part... and handsome like Z!

TY, hpd!

20. Thanks! I edited the OP to add the video and thank you.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. I usually post the Cold Open and Weekend Update which tend to be the funniest parts of the show

[highplainsdem]

23. I'm glad you do that. Again, thanks!
