1. Thanks, as always Rhiannon.

2. You're more than welcome, at least they have to bring up politics in Weekend Update!

[Fritz Walter]

4. Yeah, but...

...Must they make so much fun of the occasional verbal gaffe from President Joe Biden? A minor slip-of-the-tongue gets broadcast around the world, and leaves a bad impression.

Case in point: a friend from Europe is visiting here, and he told me how the perception in that part of the world is that Biden is senile. As opposed to the former guy?!?

If this is what an average citizen see and believes, does that apply to government leaders as well?


Thanks for posting these!

5. The opening was so bad I never stuck around for Weekend Update.

[Basic LA]

10. Same here

I always get fooled by expecting SNL to have a 'left' point of view.

8. Unfortunately as I have aged,

I have begun to hit the rack earlier and earlier. By the time I hit 70 I will be going to bed by 7. As a consequence I don't stay up late enough now to watch Colbert or SNL. So thank you Rhiannon

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Then you're exactly who I post both for since I know many don't stay up as late as I do

Colbert brings us the news in a way we can tolerate - with humor - and makes us feel less alone. As for SNL, good news or bad, it's a tradition.

9. Thank you for posting these

Clue for SNL writers: there's more--much more--to Joe Biden than your stupid, ageist non-jokes.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. If you think about it, comedians have always targeted presidents, good or bad, but with Biden

They really have to reach to find something... He has no "quirks," no cringeworthy gaffes, the only meme Colbert can find is the aviator glasses...

13. I always hope that WU will make me laugh. And I really like the new guy!

He had me laughing so loud that I woke up my fur baby.

Thanks, Rhi. ❤️

14. Oh, good! IMO, these days, Weekend Update is often the high point of the show!

Of course they cover political news, but with humor!
