It was old home week on SNL‘s Weekend Update desk as Amy Poehler was joined by Tina Fey and Seth Meyers to trade yuks with Colin Jost and Michael Che.
In the joke-off, everyone had to find new, knee-slapping ways to make fun of a real-life headline about a Tennessee woman who broke a hospital record by giving birth to a 13 pound baby. Poehler started the competition by saying how the baby was so big, “he slapped the doctor on his ass.”
Fey followed with “a woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby and and the new baby’s name is AHHHHH.” Meyers picked up the baton by joking, “a woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby. Damn, did she give birth to it? Or did it drive out?”
It was Che’s turn next. “Here’s a fun fact. The second the baby was out, the woman zipped around the room like a deflated balloon.” Fey followed up with, “a woman in Tennessee gave birth to a 13 pound baby because it’s Tennessee and the baby was also pregnant.”

Another highlight from the jam-packed session behind the Update desk was Che making an AI joke at the expense of Jost. He talked about the infamous Sora app and how it allows “users to create cameos of themselves in videos, and they’re pretty realistic. I mean, I made this one before the show.”
Replied Jost, “really excited for that to be out there.”
