Weekend Update tackled the home late night of the Covid aid package as well as CPAC, United States Frasier revival and the new Potato Head on the latest installment of Saturday Night Live.
‘Like me when I’m drunk, Congress decided to spend a lot of money at 2:30 in the morning. They spent a $ 1.9 billion bill, and Republicans call it a “liberal wish list,” said co-anchor Colin Jost.
“I do not know, I think a liberal wish list is an avocado toast with Chrissy Teigen, free college for pets, and a hip-hop musical about Anderson Cooper starring Lin-Manuel Miranda.”
One of the key components of the stimulus bill – a minimum wage of $ 15 – did not achieve the reduction, much to the delight of Senators Lindsey Graham and John Thune, the latter boasting of earning $ 6 an hour at a restaurant as ‘Child’ 40 years and a lot of inflation ago.
“That’s why Democrats never get things done: you keep voting and take ‘No’ for an answer,” said co-anchor Michael Che. “When Republicans lose a vote, they storm the Capitol. Why can you not go so crazy? Say what you like about a guy in a Viking helmet crashing into Nancy Pelosi’s desk, but he will not be ignored. ‘
The anchors also cover this weekend’s CPAC meeting – including Ted Cruz’s own speech – as well as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the impact of the coronavirus on life expectancy and the Frasier revival. ‘For those who are too young to remember, Frasier was the show made Friends looks black, ”jost joked.
Weekend Update also welcomes their new favorite targets, representative Marjorie Taylor Greene – played by Cicely Strong – who caused a stir again this week by hanging an anti-trans sign outside her office:
“Science teaches us that there are two generations because our bodies are made by God in a certain way, okay?” said the U.S. representative.
‘For women it’ is milk, milk, lemonade, around the corner fudge is made. ‘And for boys it’s’ Big hairy coffins, just like King Kong, crack in the butt, two balls, ding-dong. This is science. ”
Greene also made an exception to the announcement of the genderless potato head. ‘All I’m saying is that if Mr. Potato head is allowed to mingle with another mr. To marry Potato Head, I will kill myself. Is it so crazy? ”
