Aubrie is always in character because I think that’s how she really is. She is hilarious.

Amy Poehler back in anchorwoman seat has me in tears of joy and nostalgia

[@tonioshea9870]

Indeed. High five!

Norm McDonald was the best.

[@Josh.WDW.]

SOOO so good. LOVED Parks & Rec, and Tina and Amy were one of my favorite Wknd Update pairings.

[@pterodactylptroll]

You actually cried? It was cool for sure, but I'm interested in how that invoked such a strong emotion in you.

[@SilvLocs]

I love that Colin always seems to not know what’s gonna be on his cue cards. When the im gorgeous thing came up he was like “oh wow I really gotta say this right now”

[@TheMackasaurous]

The writers sneak things in before showtime sometimes. And they have to read whatever it says on the cue cards. 😆

@@TheMackasaurous There's actually a verb for it--Mulaneying.

It’s entirely likely he didn’t see that line coming. They do things like that all the time. Always have.

[@ChaswellQuint]

Yes, it was the perfect breaking of the forth wall, while not directly acknowledging it.

[@S.Pociecha]

@@insectwarfare8681, John Mulaney used to rewrite bits for Bill Hader. Not "they", not "all the time" and not "always have". Stick with your first sentence, which seems fine.

[@TheBroncosguy]

The best part was seeing Aubry trying not to break when Amy starts talking.

[@jessemartinez2606]

Was that the best part?

[@stevenmeyer9674]

The best part was reading the embarrassing comments from the fanboys.

So you want a complete fraud in congress so an actor can pretend to be the fraud

[@MarkSchaub]

This really is the best one I've ever seen, hands down.

[@batgurrl]

Thanks for keeping up with your Monday tradition of posting Weekend Update in its entirety. The humor flows more smoothly. My favorite part is Bowen Yang as George Santos. Spot on insanity personified ❤️

[@robbiegarber898]

9:00 That's almost not even a joke. She was interviewed when she officially became the oldest person (after the last one died) and was quoted as saying "I feel I would be better off in heaven, but the good Lord doesn't want me yet.” She was itching to get out. RIP.

[@ShitHappensRLY]

She was so done with the madness the world spiraling into AGAIN. Two world wars, nazi occupation, multitude of world leaders, hope for finally getting a world peace falling apart.

10:43. The only thing missing during this segment was a surprise appearance of either Nick Offerman or Chris Pratt as their characters from Parks & Recreation that even Aubrey & Amy didn't know about.

[@piercepatterson9274]

There's always next year...
