Following a clunky cold open, host Shane Gillis’s flop of a monologue and the comic dropping an accidental F-bomb during a Dr. Seuss sketch, audiences were treated to another edition of “Saturday Night Live’s” Weekend Update, featuring Colin Jost and Michael Che. And things kicked off with Jost needling one of his favorite targets, President Trump.

“Unfortunately, we have to start tonight with a tragic developing story involving President Trump (no, not that): It’s that President Trump has sadly not won the Nobel Peace Prize. I know, I know. But don’t worry, I think he’s taking it all in stride.”
