\n\tFollowing a clunky cold open<\/a>, host Shane Gillis\u2019s flop of a monologue<\/a> and the comic dropping an accidental F-bomb during a Dr. Seuss sketch<\/a>, audiences were treated to another edition of \u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u2019s\u201d Weekend Update<\/a>, featuring Colin Jost<\/a> and Michael Che<\/a>. And things kicked off with Jost needling one of his favorite targets, President Trump.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUnfortunately, we have to start tonight with a tragic developing story involving President Trump (no, not that): It\u2019s that President Trump has sadly not won the Nobel Peace Prize<\/a>. I know, I know. But don\u2019t worry, I think he\u2019s taking it all in stride.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJost then threw to a clip of Trump at a rally whining about not being awarded the Nobel, declaring, \u201cThe Nobel Prize was given out today by a liberal person who works at the United Nations who nobody has ever heard of!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYes, that\u2019s right: Navi Pillay, a South African human rights advocate, was awarded this year\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize. According to CNN, Pillay \u201cwas integral to the anti-apartheid movement, served as a judge on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and recently led the UN commission that concluded Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.\u201d The decision has also drawn criticism from Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s genuinely angry that he didn\u2019t win the Peace Prize!\u201d exclaimed Jost. \u201cTrump kidnapped Venezuela\u2019s president, then he did so much war that we\u2019re running out of missiles, and he still thought, \u2018This is my year!\u2019 It\u2019s truly like if I thought I might win an Oscar for \u2018Tom & Jerry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThen Che joined in on the fun. \u201cNavi Pillay, who learned she won the Nobel Peace Prize at a conference in Germany, joked with the crowd that if they clap a little more, she may share this prize with Trump \u2014 which is a harmless little joke that may make Trump bomb whatever country he thinks she\u2019s from.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following a clunky cold open, host Shane Gillis\u2019s flop of a monologue and the comic dropping an accidental…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":928917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,28367,1376,75,28370,43648,28371,13062,34566,28372],"class_list":["post-928916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-colin-jost","tag-donald-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-michael-che","tag-nobel-peace-prize","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-shane-gillis","tag-snl","tag-weekend-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928916","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=928916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/928917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=928916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=928916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=928916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
