‘SNL’ Weekend Update: Tina Fey, Michael Che jab Andrew Cuomo, OJ Simpson, New York Jets on scaled-down show
Fox News
Former "Saturday Night Live" writer and cast member Tina Fey pitched in this weekend to help current "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che deliver the fake news after co-anchor Colin Jost and most of the cast were sent home amid a surge of coronavirus cases in New York City.
"So we thought we’d read these dumb jokes anyway and just see if we could make these guys laugh," Che said at the top of the segment while sitting with Fey on the "SNL" main stage rather than at the usual "Update" desk.
"It’s Christmas, so let’s start with some good news," Che said. "O.J. Simpson has been released from parole two months early because of good behavior. Said O.J., "I can’t believe I got out of parole early but I did it, I did it."
Fey joked that after an ethics panel ordered Cuomo to return the $500 million in profits he made from his book about his response to the coronavirus he said, "OK, but you got to reach down in my pocket and take it out yourself, sweetheart."
