President Donald Trump will stop at nothing to get his hands on the Nobel Peace Prize he believes he is owed. <\/p>\n

In SNL\u2018s latest \u201cWeekend Update\u201d segment, Michael Che skewered Trump for accepting the Nobel Peace Prize<\/a> from Venezuelan politician Mar\u00eda Corina Machado, who was named the newest recipient in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of psycho would actually accept someone else\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize?\u201d Che asked. \u201cShe just won it. It\u2019s like if someone says, \u2018Help yourself to anything in the kitchen,\u2019 and you bang his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Che added, \u201cMachado gave Trump her Nobel Peace Prize in the hopes of getting his help to become the next leader of Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cUpdate\u201d co-anchor joked, \u201cAnd if that bribe actually works, I bet Trump\u2019s about to get a whole bunch of Grammys.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Che said this, he showed a picture of Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, who is currently serving a four-year prison sentence<\/a>\u2014and has very publicly appealed to the president for a pardon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Che drew both groans and applause for the Diddy reference, but he provoked the audience even further with a later joke: <\/p>\n

\u201cRobert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized<\/a> President Trump\u2019s diet, saying, \u2018I don\u2019t know how he is alive,\u2019\u201d Che said. <\/p>\n

Che added simply, \u201cA slight breeze.\u201d<\/p>\n

The joke was accompanied by a picture of Trump\u2019s near-assassination<\/a> during his 2024 presidential campaign, where his ear was grazed by a bullet. <\/p>\n

Co-anchor Colin Jost, meanwhile, got in his boldest joke of the night at ICE\u2019s expense. <\/p>\n

\u201cA judge on Friday ordered ICE agents in Minnesota not to retaliate against peaceful protesters,\u201d Jost said. \u201cBut if ICE agents listen to judges, then their ex-wives would be getting those checks for child support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jost also joked, \u201cPresident Trump defended the actions of ICE agents in Minneapolis, adding that the day of \u2018reckoning and retribution<\/a>‘ is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Showing a picture of the Grim Reaper, Jost said Trump\u2019s line was \u201ca phrase he stole from that guy who\u2019s always pointing at him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump will stop at nothing to get his hands on the Nobel Peace Prize he believes…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":524719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[30],"tags":[43326,77,171,15467,69821,1747,1933,399,173,67,132,68,69822],"class_list":["post-524718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-colin-jost","tag-donald-j-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-late-night","tag-michael-che","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-snl","tag-television","tag-tv","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-weekend-update"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115915146355665482","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
