BREAKING: ‘SNL’ Weekend Update Has One Big Takeaway from T.r.u.m.p’s Kennedy Center Awards
Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update wondered if there was another reason for Donald Trump’s chosen winners of the Kennedy Center honors, while also jabbing the 79-year-old president about his health.
Trump, who installed himself as chairman of the once-dignified arts institution earlier this year, gave out Kennedy Center honors last Sunday to actor Sylvester Stallone, singer Gloria Gaynor and rock band KISS, among others. Trump also had the Village People perform “YMCA,” one of his favorite songs.
Co-anchor Michael Che said that slate raises a question: “Is Donald Trump a gay man from 1978?”
Colin Jost then addressed how the Trump administration seized a Venezuelan oil tanker this week, and has been increasing the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, in part through strikes on alleged drug boats. Trump even said in a recent interview that President Nicolas Maduro’s “days are numbered.”
“As opposed to Trump, whose days are lettered,” Jost joked, as a picture of a pill dispenser—marked with the first letter of each day of the week—showed on screen.
Che later reacted to how Trump has being saying that “affordability” is a “new word” created by Democrats to hurt him politically. Che wasn’t buying it.
“If Democrats were going to make up a word specifically to hurt Trump,” he said, “it would probably be ‘fatmentia.’”
Jost then turned to Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. At a congressional hearing this week, Noem was interrupted by a protester yelling out to her, “The power of Christ compels you!”—the line that the priest says to the possessed girl in The Exorcist.
“Noem mostly ignored them, but did take one quick look back,” Jost said, as Noem’s head was shown turning around—a full 360 degrees, like in the film.
