Saturday Night Live took time out this weekend to mock Joe Biden’s memory lapses and Donald Trump’s absence from Twitter.
Colin Jost kicked off the Super Bowl edition of the “Weekend Update” by mentioning President Biden’s stimulus plan and his habit of giving impromptu massages when he was VP.
“President Biden said Friday he will move ahead with his $1.9 trillion stimulus plan, with or without Republican support, because this economy needs a massage and Joe Biden isn’t waiting for permission,” Jost said to laughter.
He then took a shot at Biden’s memory. “An interview with Biden will air before tomorrow’s Super Bowl between the Bucs and the Chiefs,” he continued. “Incidentally, buc and chief are also what Biden calls his friends when he forgets their names.”

Jost and co-anchor Michael Che got in a few laughs at the expense of embattled Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, before turning their attention to Trump.
“Former social media influencer Donald Trump will not testify at his impeachment trial next week and I think I speak for all of us, when I say, come on, please?” Jost quipped. “Give us one last show, man. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, put in your [hair] extensions and burst into that trial like it is Maury Povich and you are NOT THE FATHER!”
Jost then admitted he misses Trump’s Twitter meltdowns after 45 was kicked off the social media platform. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg also booted Trump from that platform and sister site Instagram for using social media to “incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.”
Earlier during SNL, the NBC sketch series aired a segment on “White allies” hijacking Black History Month.
“It’s Black History Month and today we spotlight one group that is often overlooked — White people,” Kenan Thompson joked. “White allies have been part of the Black American struggle for centuries.”

Great to have a real President and First Lady, America gone without true leadership far to long! Trump been a disgrace!
Who watches SNL ?
Imagine thinking this president or the last president was on “your” side and will make things better for you.
That’s what you call a “real president”. We HAD a real president for the last four years. Biden is a disgrace!
The Commie Left like their puppets to be drooling empty heads. They don’t want any critical thinking intellect messing up their master plans. God help America.
Well I mean Pence did act as the President but he never did have the title. But I see your point.
Wait Trump was from the right. You know that the same side the hand you put over your heart to show loyalty to our country not a man….
your dude has dementia you stupid fool
Are you sure about that? He has control of house and senate and still signing executive orders. lol (check back in two years) But Yeah Orange Man Bad. lol
You mean like the bad orange man did the first 2 years of his presidency?
The same twits who think communists running the USA is a good thing
and your party came up with Jewish Space Lasers
So the Senile Pervert elists no humor from Scar Jo’s current lover, Colin Jost or head writer himself Michael Che?–cant think of anything the Dumbo as President has done in the last two weeks to poke at? No Hunter jokes? Come on bros,you got— crack and ho’s, and kids, and strippers, and “The Big Guy”? Nothing comes to anyone at those Writer Tables in the Writing room? Probably more like orders from the Gestapo head, Lorne Michaels himself…the little Ceasar controls everything and everyone over there at SNL–dont ever think that is free flowing, creative kind of comedy you’re seeing. Money talks, Politics talks and Jost and Che are the string puppets. btw Jost, ScarJo will drop you faster than Grande dropped Davidson, so dont go “falling in love” or anything.
Yes First Lady Dr Jill, who was promised to be so involved with our kids Education has remained quite silent on them being kept out of school. Everyone knows its because of Teachers Unions coming first, not the kids Education..and the Senile Pervert said “follow the Science”…has said it for a year–Science has said its now ok for the children to return to school—yet Senile pervert and the Dr, say nothing. They’re fruads folks—50 years of it with the Senile Pervert. Its showing now in real time. Do something Senile Pervert or Dr Jill.
Not me. It hasn’t been funny for years.
Did I miss it? Trying to figure out where they “skewered” Biden? Seemed like a non-stop right wing hit piece to me but maybe the fact they touted, in a positive way, Biden’s stimulus package was supposed to be “skewering” him.
