As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for political satire and a soft spot for the absurd, I found this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live to be both entertaining and thought-provoking. The Weekend Update segment was particularly gripping, as it delved into the peculiarities of Donald Trump’s administration picks.
During the initial segment on “Saturday Night Live’s” Weekend Update desk, they took a playful jab at Donald Trump’s selections for his presidential administration team. Among those chosen is Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, who has been appointed to head the newly established Department of Government Efficiency taskforce. This department’s mission is to streamline government operations, reduce unnecessary regulations, minimize wasteful spending, and reorganize federal agencies as outlined by the President-elect.
During the Weekend Update segment, Michael Che pointed out that Elon Musk posted open positions for his latest team, specifying that the role would involve working more than 80 hours a week without any compensation.
“You can’t be surprised that the white African guy’s first idea is slavery,” Che said.
During the broadcast, Che’s co-host Colin Jost made some jabs too, starting the segment by poking fun at Matt Gaetz, who was previously involved in a sex trafficking investigation (that ultimately resulted in no charges) and now faces fresh allegations of having an inappropriate relationship with a minor. Gaetz stepped down from his position as a Congress member earlier this week following speculation about him joining Trump’s administration.
Trump proposed Matt Gaetz as a potential Attorney General, and Gaetz responded in a manner similar to how he reacts upon encountering a young girl: ‘I’m up for the task,'” Jost quipped, drawing some disapproving murmurs from the audience. He then added, “Gaetz, who seems to be the offspring of Frankenstein and Dracula, was chosen as Attorney General after Trump recalled that his initial pick was found deceased in a prison cell,” alluding to the officially determined suicide of convicted sex offender and New York financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a later discussion, Jost commended Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the first person known to have survived brain worms, for being nominated to a cabinet position. Kennedy, who is famously fond of medium rare steaks, will head the Department of Health and Human Services. Despite his lack of extensive experience, Jost expressed his support for giving him a chance, alluding to Kennedy’s well-known skepticism towards vaccinations.
