As a long-time fan of “Saturday Night Live” and a connoisseur of sharp political satire, I must say that Michael Che‘s latest “Weekend Update” segment was nothing short of brilliant. His unique perspective, honed from growing up in New York City and navigating the complexities of race and politics in America, shines through in his comedy.
During his initial “Weekend Update” segment after Donald Trump’s win on Tuesday, co-host Michael Che seemed to have drawn from his home bar for a drink or two.
I find myself questioning how I could have been swayed into believing that a rural Pennsylvania town would elect a Jamaican Indian woman,” I mused, reaching for a glass of amber liquid. “Apparently, my immersion in the company of white liberals and their idealistic views has clouded my judgment. The outcome was never in doubt. At one point, Trump’s lead was so substantial they even brought in Bronny – LeBron James Jr., current teammate of the Los Angeles Lakers,” I concluded, using a familiar basketball reference to emphasize my disbelief.
Colin Jost, who often shares comedic moments with Che, took some jabs at the newly elected president, poking fun at Trump’s pledge of a golden era for America (“Things become golden as the sun sets on them”), and drawing parallels between Vice President-elect JD Vance’s life as an adult Catholic convert and his own past as a teenage altar boy. However, it was Che who delivered the most thought-provoking remarks of the night when he brought up R&B artist and convicted sexual offender R. Kelly.
Are we really going to allow a man with 34 felony convictions to take charge of the world’s freedom and become the President of the United States? Well, that’s just made me decide to start listening to R. Kelly again once more.” Che jested, still using his drink as an accessory. “I’ve been doing it already, but I won’t hide it anymore. If they can vote for their felon, then I can groove to mine.
Che concluded the discussion focused on the topic by highlighting Trump’s enduring popularity among working-class voters, and then revealing that the world’s ten wealthiest individuals gained approximately $60 billion in wealth following the election. “Indeed, the wealthy became even wealthier. Rest assured, your share is on its way, Earl!
