Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update” co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost had a lot of material to play with after Donald Trump’s first week back in the Oval Office.

Jost kicked things off, lobbing a jab at Trump for not putting his hand on the swearing-in Bible, the same one that was used during Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration.

“I wish those two could talk to each other: Lincoln could teach Trump a lot about the importance of preserving our union, and Trump could teach Lincoln how to turn your head at the exact right moment,” he said.

Speaking on Trump’s immediate pardon of the Jan. 6 rioters, Che quipped: “President Trump defended his pardon of the January 6 attackers, saying that these are just people who love their country; you know, like how O.J. [Simpson] loved Nicole.”

He continued, referencing Tesla CEO Elon Musk‘s Nazi-like salute following the inauguration, which Musk has since joked about and which Germans have since decried: “Elon Musk was criticized for his speech at a rally after the inauguration in which he appears to give the Nazi salute. But c’mon, Elon Musk is not a Nazi; the Nazis made nice cars.”

Responding to the entertainment news headlines of the week, Che also commented on the Academy Award nominations announcement, made in part by colleague Bowen Yang (along with Rachel Sennott): “The Oscar nominations were announced with the musical Emilia Pérez leading the pack with 13 … total viewers.”

Meanwhile, Jost cautioned viewers about repeating a certain type of behavior on his own game show Pop Culture Jeopardy! “During an episode of Wheel of Fortune this week, a contestant who had just won $40,000 accidentally tackled host Ryan Seacrest. Well I dare you to try on Pop Culture Jeopardy!” he said while wielding a prop gun and sending both himself and Che into a fit of giggles.

Elsewhere on the segment, Ego Nwodim appeared as Giselle, a “concerned businesswoman” who voted for Trump and cautioned all Black women to secure wigs before Trump launched a trade war.

“Black women … it is time to act, and buy all the hair and extensions you need before those tariffs kick in. You heard me. We not getting no more Malaysian hair, no Peruvian hair, Indian or Brazilian. We not even gonna be getting no Irish. We about to be in a pickle, a bald-headed pickle,” she urged.

Andrew Dismukes also appeared alongside his “puppet dad,” who christened Dismukes the “17th most famous” cast member on SNL and Jost as the “16th most famous.”
