SNL: Why Did Rudy Giuliani Show Up At 'Four Seasons' Landscaping?

SNL: Why Did Rudy Giuliani Show Up At 'Four Seasons' Landscaping?

We can always depend on Rudy Giuliani, the Count Chocula of right-wing paranoia, to provide comic relief at moments of great political tension. Or at least we could until now, when the booze-addled former New York City mayor may finally be going to the sanatorium he deserves.

But we will never forget Kate McKinnon's impressions of Rudy, even if we must give up the habit someday soon. In this episode of Weekend Update she plays off the skilled straight man Colin Jost with all her mad brilliance. Don't miss the naughty allusion to Borat 2.

#EndorseThis: SNL’s Elizabeth Warren Runs On ‘A Crackpot Idea’

If you admire Elizabeth Warren — the super-smart policy expert who “has a plan for that” — you will love Kate McKinnon’s affectionately amusing sendup of her on Weekend Update. The SNL star not only resembles the senator from Massachusetts but does a remarkable voice impression too.

Warren doesn’t suffer fools gladly, as we know from her caustic comments about Donald Trump. So what does she make of her fellow Democratic presidential aspirants, especially the men? You’ll laugh.

#EndorseThis: SNL’s Pete Davidson Explains Why “The NFL Isn’t Really Screwing” Colin Kaepernick

Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson appeared on the standalone summer edition of Weekend Update to monologize about the controversy surrounding unsigned free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to kneel for the national anthem.

“The NFL isn’t really screwing him because he’s controversial,” Davidson explained. “It’s because, to them, he’s not good enough to be controversial. If you’re in the top 20, they let you get away with anything.”

#EndorseThis: Bill Hader Returns To SNL As ‘The Mooch’

Weekend Update, the Saturday Night Live tentpole, returned from hiatus on Thursday for its Summer Edition.

Co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che caught up on some of the highest profile political stories from the past two-or-so months — namely, “minor staffing changes” at the White House that saw the premature departures of Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer, and Anthony Scaramucci.

Scaramucci, Jost said, “was like Hanukkah in July, ’cause he was around for about a week and it was a miracle he lasted that long.”

Later, former cast member Bill Hader made a cameo as “The Mooch.”
