Saturday Night Live continues to churn out new episodes for Season 48, and the regular occurrence of Weekend Update remains the most consistent segment on the sketch comedy show. The latest episode featuring host Amy Schumer and musical guest Steve Lacy was no different as Michael Che and Colin Jost continue their brand of humor skewering the latest headlines in the news. But it was fan-favorite cast member Cecily Strong who stole the show this week with her desperate plea ahead of the midterm elections in the United States. The show started out slamming Elon Musk’s antics after purchasing Twitter, as well as a joke about NASA’s photo of a “smiling” sun, and running down the latest controversies of Kanye West and NBA athlete Kyrie Irving.
Strong then joined the segment, touching on the importance of women’s right during the upcoming midterm elections while under the guise of a cross-country truck driver. Like last week’s segment, this week’s was also cut short, with Strong being the only guest compared to the bit’s usual two-guest minimum. Keep scrolling to see what people are saying!
