Michael Che addressed multiple current events during Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update segment, including jokes about Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, and President Donald Trump's relationship with CNN.
Che pivoted to serious territory when discussing an ongoing sexual assault case at Cornell University. The segment also covered Ryan Murphy's decision to revive Glee, the musical comedy series that originally ran on Fox.
The Weekend Update segment balanced topical humor with commentary on serious institutional issues and entertainment industry developments. SNL's news-focused sketch continues to tackle a mix of political figures, university controversies, and Hollywood announcements in real time.
According to Deadline, the segment featured Che's characteristic blend of sharp political commentary and pop culture references. The inclusion of both the Cornell controversy and Murphy's Glee revival announcement reflects the show's approach to mixing hard news with entertainment industry stories during its satirical news desk segment.
