Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update covered the fallout from the attack on Paul Pelosi, Kyrie Irving’s latest self-inflicted wounds, and Dr. Oz not even obtaining the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey.
“Nancy Pelosi’s husband wasattacked in their home by a guywith a hammer, and instead ofbasic sympathy, Republicans werelike, ‘We heard he gay!’” co-anchor Colin Jost said, referencing right-wing conspiracy theories.
“Donald Trump Jr. mocked theattack on Pelosi’s husband by posting an image of a hammer and apair of underpants with the message, ‘Gotmy Paul Pelosi halloween costumeready.’ And I would agree that Don Jr.is probably the expert ofgetting hammered in your underwear,” he joked.
“Also,” Jost continued, addressing the former president’s eldest son. “Is that your underwear, man? Why is it so dirty and stretched out? Like you were trying to burn PaulPelosi, but now I’m just wondering ifyou wear your dad’s oldunderwear.”
From there, Michael Che addressed Kyrie Irving’s recent promotion of antisemitic tropes.
After a meeting with the Anti-Defamation League, Che said, the basketball player “announced that fromnow on, he will pretend to notbe anti-Semitic.”
Irving “was suspended after he tweeted a link to the anti-semitic film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up BlackAmerica,” Che continued. “You know, ‘Hebrews to ‘Negroes’ was alsothe name of my favorite R&B group inthe ’90s.”
Jost then turned his attention to Dr. Oz, who appeared regularly as a guest on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the 2000s and whose own show was helped off the ground by Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions.
“Isn’t it crazy that Oprah gaveDr. Oz his career and even she’sturned against him?It’s like if Robin ran for mayorof Gotham, and Batman was like, ‘Ifully endorse Penguin.’”
