He knew he was taking some chances in hitting below the belt a few times creating some groans of disbelief and shame. I loved how he embraced the present state of how everything is upside down but there is still truth in the message making the messanger so very important. Excellent job dude...most excellent. You stand on the right side of good but can play the game on their court as well. Bravo.

[@chrissmall1246]

On the contrary. He did not bomb, he shone like a bright light. The truth is what journalism is supposed to embody. He was balanced in his criticism but took the truth to where it is required the most. It was quiet because most in the audience recognized the truth in satire...rather than being duped by opinion based television shows that claim to support journalism when the truth is that their lack of data driven journalism is honestly just propaganda. If you cannot clearly identify the difference then I regret to inform you that you are just not able to think objectively. Again, just an opinion but after I got a handle on his approach I absolutely heard the message. He didn't hide in fear like most he easily revealed, rather he pushed forward to complete on a message that is in my opinion heard by mostly logical and intelligent people. The rest obviously just wont get it...right over their heads. Again, Bravo to Colin Jost.

​@@jameskerr7828 The federal budget is up nearly 50% from 2019. The labor participation rate still hasn't recovered from the pandemic. Inflation over the last four years has outpaced wages. Much of our domestic and foreign policy is broken. When government fails as hard as it has the people in office deserve to be voted out. The shame is there isn't anyone better than Trump as a Republican candidate, but it was inevitable given the political motivation to bringing Trump's court cases (not saying he's innocent).

It just seems broken

[@monochromaticspider]

@@grben9959 How do you expect the government to work when the Republican side doesn't want it to and people like yourself reward them with votes for doing their best to sabotage it? You mention inflation. A big source of that inflation is that the EU kneecapped itself on energy politics by taking a stand against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. That raised demand on non-Russian oil and gas, which raised the price of American oil and gas, and no president, red or blue, has the tools to do anything about that. The MAGA nonsense about drilling more does nothing to fix that problem. You mention the pandemic. How do you reckon Trump handled the pandemic? Because from where I'm sitting, the US casualties per capita were significantly higher than the best in class countries like Norway and Finland. Even common sense precautions were failed utterly. And hundreds of thousands of people died that probably didn't have to. Lastly, the political motivation to bringing Trump's court cases? What are you on about? He's been allowed to drag those out for ages. Ordinary people doing his documents stunt would've been behind bars right away. Ordinary people violating gag orders as much as Trump does would've been held in contempt and compelled to reconsider their behavior from inside a jail cell. I don't know how the RICO case or the Jan 6 case will turn out, but the hush money case looks a bit hard for him to squirm out of, and he looks so DOA in the documents case. He retained classified documents that he had no legal right to retain, he stored them unsecurely, and he has admitted this voluntarily on camera in Fox interviews. An election win or SCOTUS help seems like the only way he's going to avoid conviction in that one.

👏👏👏💜

[@Mostdefinitelynotabot]

You should call up your local news around his birthday and mention it to them. That’s awesome..

[@lisab9541]

Contact the white house directly.

[@libbyworkman3459]

He very much deserved that standing ovation.

[@juantellez7037]

Him:"High-speed rail" Her: " Wooo thass good!" Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@Omni0404]

That was a tough crowd. Especially when he jokes about their media dying

[@WokeOne75]

Truth is uncomfortable.

[@denniszenanywhere]

The AI joke? Well, that's how AI is learning -- using all sorts of media created by people. Every sort of media is being harvested by AI, from print media to TV broadcasting to images to songs, you name it. So that's really uncomfortable for everyone in that room.

[@ricobhi]

It's like they didn't get the memo about why they were there in the first place. You're supposed to laugh at the very funny jokes about you, news people!

[@denniszenanywhere]

​@@ricobhi It's not a unique joke. Media people joke about it every single day already.

[@Omni0404]

@@denniszenanywhere I use GPT 4.0 and various versions of Claude every day, and they spit out writing that looks like it was done by a professional writer and a publishing company. I turn to it more often than search engines. Crazy times.

Love me an extra 20 minutes of Weekend Update mid-week!

[@peacockfilletsteak]

The jokes that were met with silence or "oooohhhh"s were the best ones, if only for the reactions making them funnier. lol

[@TommyChardonneret]

"Decency" certainly warranted that standing ovation, Colin!

[@toddr2265]

They all stood, except the fox news croud

[@TommyChardonneret]

@@toddr2265 That's Fox "News" for ya, for sure. By the way, I admire your avatar tribute to the Tsar Vlad invaded and oppressed nation and the people of Ukraine!

[@lostagain7292]

yea super "decent" of them all to be wholeheartedly complicit of genocide and gaslighting anyone that rightfully challenges their narrative. Fine people on both sides in that room. This is some real 1984 ish...

[@TommyChardonneret]

@@lostagain7292 Perhaps you might study the works of Orwell, each and every one of them thoroughly before you come down with simpleton "both sides" pettifoggery? There were PLENTY more than merely two sides in that room. Yet they still feel compelled to pay homage (even if it's only lip service, or maybe "hand and feet" service with standing applause?) to the concept of decency. Why not try getting off your lazy derriere and waiting in comment threads to throw cheap shots with fragmentary half-thoughts. And you need not quote that New York City real estate conman's fragmentary half-truths to show fake disgust. It only makes you resemble that kind of inanity. And finally with you forevermore, I'm completely against the Israeli national military occupying the land and taking 10's of 1,000's of innocent Palestinian lives in one of the worst bloodbaths of this 21st century, you frivolous armchair puny pundit.

[@lindas.7083]

Colin and Michael Che are a great team, Weekend Update is my favorite part of SNL. That Matt Gaetz joke. 🤣

[@Penelopesyoutube]

SNL is the joke along with these traitors. SNL died when Gilda Radner , John Belushi , Eddie Murphy , & all the greats left. It's not funny & they deserve to be in there with the worst people on the planet

[@Opno]

This was actually really good lmao "Obama got Bin Laden... You got OJ"

[@dainbramage9508]

There's been one generation running politics in America for 3 generations

[@DeborahLandau-gp2fo]

Love this man and his lovely wife

[@incasolja1]

I swear when he started with “and in closing…and finally..” i thought he was gonna end with “and liiiiveeee from new york its saturday night!” 😂😂😂

[@CalLadyQED]

I really hope this is this coming Sat's cold open

[@luzangel9844]

President Biden is a great sport and an even better president! 🙏❤️🤍💙🙏 #Fourmoreyears 🌊🌊
