\n\tAmong the topics Saturday Night Live<\/a>\u2018s Weekend Update<\/a> took on were Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s latest unscientific comments and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a>\u2018s odd attempt to blame Democrats for the government shutdown. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHealth\u00a0secretary RFK Jr.<\/a>, seen here\u00a0trying to cure cancer with his\u00a0mind, said this week that men who were\u00a0circumcised are more likely to\u00a0be autistic,\u201d co-anchor Colin Jost<\/a> said of the proponent<\/a> of vaccine misinformation<\/a>, who has claimed<\/a> that Tylenol is linked to autism<\/a>. \u201c\u2014Which isn\u2019t surprising coming\u00a0from a man who looks like he\u2019s\u00a0made out of foreskin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJost then addressed how Noem is subjecting<\/a> airline passengers in line at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints to a video of her insisting that the government shutdown, which is occurring under a GOP-controlled Senate, House and a Republican president, is actually all Democrats\u2019 fault. <\/p>\n

\n\tJost then played a portion of the video\u2014which turned out to be the first line of fictional serial killer Jigsaw\u2019s videotaped message to his tortured victims: \u201cI want to play a game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWeekend Update also addressed a recent development\u2014of questionable legality<\/a>\u2014in the U.S. Treasury.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat department, Michael Che<\/a> announced, \u201cis planning to\u00a0release a silver dollar with\u00a0President Trump\u2019s face on it. And then on the other side, he\u00a0has Harriet Tubman in a head\u00a0lock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTubman, the abolitionist and slave rescuer, would replace Andrew Jackson on the $20, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said way back in 2016. But it\u2019s looking like that may not come about until at least<\/a> 2030.<\/p>\n

\n\tJost also called out Trump for proclaiming an end to Indigenous People\u2019s Day and labeling Christopher Columbus \u201coriginal American hero.\u201d <\/p>\n

\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo while Trump is rounding up\u00a0people with ICE, he is\u00a0praising Columbus, a guy who\u00a0literally brought boat loads of\u00a0Hispanics to America,\u201d Jost said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWeekend Update concluded with a joke off between Jost, Che, and former anchors Tina Fey<\/a>, Seth Meyers<\/a> and Amy Poehler<\/a>, who was SNL<\/a>\u2018s host Saturday<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Among the topics Saturday Night Live\u2018s Weekend Update took on were Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49201,49,48,28367,75,13165,7180,28370,4509,28371,13398,34566,101033,348,28372],"class_list":["post-208064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-amy-poehler","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-colin-jost","tag-entertainment","tag-kristi-noem","tag-late-night-tv","tag-michael-che","tag-rfk-jr","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-seth-meyers","tag-snl","tag-tina-fey","tag-tv","tag-weekend-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
