Since Donald Trump is the gift that keeps giving for SNL, Weekend Update’s Colin Jost took the requisite swipe at the president-elect’s recent Time cover by reasoning that “no person on earth has taken up more of our goddamn time.”
Michael Che then took the baton by saying how Amazon is planning to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration because “Amazon and Trump want to ship stuff out as fast as possible.”
“Trump also said Friday he would try to permanently end Daylight Savings Time by challenging the sun to a staring contest,” responded Jost, as the infamous shot of Trump looking up at the sun was flashed in the corner.
Here are some other political bon mots from behind the desk Saturday:

“It was announced that Matt Gaetz will host a new talk show on One American News Network called the Matt Gaetz Show,” said Che. “He’ll be covering everything from quinceañeras to prom night jitters.”
“A lawyer working with Robert F. Kennedy Jr has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine,” began Jost. “Because it ain’t Christmas without some Tiny Tims.”
“Elon Musk gave over $20 million to the mysterious RBG pact, which claimed that Trump and Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed on the issue of abortion,” said Che. “Wow, I never even knew Trump got her pregnant.”
“Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made her Broadway debut in a one night performance in & Juliet,” said Jost, “while Clarence Thomas blew everyone off the stage in Kinky Boots.”
