On tonight’s episode of SNL, Weekend Update found a wide range of targets, from Jon Voight, Bono, Dwayne Johnson and the new Lord of the Rings seriess, to cast members Colin Jost and Pete Davidson themselves.
Anchor Michael Che noted that Voight recently released a video claiming that Abraham Lincoln’s spirit was guiding Donald Trump. “Hopefully,” he said, “not to a theater.”
Jost then aimed at Bono, who said in a new interview that he never really liked the band name U2—”adding, ‘I also kind of hate Ireland!’
He then called out Johnson, who said the skull of a t-rex seen behind him in a recent interview was a replica, rather than the real thing. “Johnson also said it’s just a coincidence that his diet calls for 1000 pounds of dinosaur meet a day,” said Jost.
Jost would later address the fact that Amazon has unveiled a title for its new Lord of the Rings series—that of course being Rings of Power. “I’m personally more excited,” he said, “for the spin-off, Gollum in Paris.”
Before long, the anchor would become the butt of the joke himself, when conversation turned toward his and Davidson’s recent purchase of a Staten Island ferry boat, which they’re looking to turn into an entertainment venue. The bit in which Davidson also featured came about after Jost invited Alex Moffat’s popular character “Guy Who Just Bought a Boat” to sit down for conversation on the NFL playoffs.
After making his way through his usual string of innuendos, Moffat’s character introduced Davidson to the desk as “Guy Who Just Bought A Ferry.”
“We’re boat people now, Colin,” said Davidson. “I mean, you always were. You look like you own the yacht they rent out for rap videos.”
“It’s very exciting,” deadpanned Jost. “We thought the whole thing through.”
