SNL Weekend Update pokes fun at new Pope and Trumps Alcatraz plans

Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update leaned into sharp punchlines this week, with Colin Jost and Michael Che delivering joke after joke about the kind of news that makes you forget this segment is supposed to be satire.

This time, the duo took aim at the new American Pope, Leo XIV, who, according to Jost, is clearly from South Side Chicago since “his hands are always up.”

Then there’s Che, roasting President Biden’s recent stop on The View, where Biden explained Kamala Harris didn’t win the 2024 election because, quote, “the only thing that surprises Biden are the words that come out of his own mouth.”

The real MVP of this segment is Mikey Day, who shows up as the “Guy who just walked into a spiderweb” to explain tariffs. Spoiler: He does not explain tariffs.
