Poehler offered that the baby \u201cwas so big that he slapped the doctor on his ass,\u201d and Fey said that the baby was so huge \u201cbecause it\u2019s Tennessee, and the baby was also pregnant.\u201d Jost fired back that the baby\u2019s nickname is Magician \u201cbecause he basically sawed his mother in half.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Poehler took home the top prize, though, by joking that the woman giving birth actually broke a record \u201cfor loosest vagina, and it was previously held\u2026 by me!\u201d Ding-ding-ding, we have a winner!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Press PLAY above to watch the joke-off in full, and tell us what you thought of this week\u2019s SNL in the comments. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.tvline.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TVLine&#039;s Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TVLine&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
