Overall, it was a relatively apolitical episode of “SNL” this week — the show’s intent was broadcast pretty clearly with a cold open sketch in which members of the cast brought their moms on stage ahead of Mother’s Day, and they each complained (jokingly) about how political the show has gotten. But Weekend Update is still Weekend Update.
So, as they always do, co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost devoted the first chunk of Weekend Update to slinging zingers at Trump and friends, from Trump’s decision to violate the Iran nuclear deal to the ongoing situations with Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani.
