While this week’s “SNL” was largely scrapped due to COVID concerns, Weekend Update was still performed live – without Colin Jost.
Tom Hanks and Paul Rudd opened Saturday’s show by explaining the cast had been sent home and the show would be a mix of pre-recorded and classic sketches, with Hanks and surprise guest Tina Fey then inducting Rudd into the 5-Timers Club given that Saturday’s show marked his fifth time hosting.
But while the show then went on with some sketches that Rudd and the cast were able to pre-record this week in addition to some older sketches, Weekend Update was performed onstage by Fey and Michael Che.
