SNL Weekend Update covers CEO assassin and Hunter Bidens pardon

After a week of absolutely insane headlines, Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che had no shortage of material to dig into.

Leading the charge was the massive social media frenzy over the shooting of UHC CEO Brian Thomas — and, more specifically, how some factions of the internet can’t stop thirsting over the alleged shooter, who many are calling "kinda hot."

Other topics tackled by the duo included President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter, Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s plea for confirmation (and his promise to quit drinking if approved), and how Sprint users should count their blessings as hacker group saltTyphoon targets every other cell carrier but them.
