\n\tIt was old home week on SNL<\/a>\u2018s Weekend Update desk as Amy Poehler<\/a> was joined by Tina Fey<\/a> and Seth Meyers<\/a> to trade yuks with Colin Jost and Michael Che. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the joke-off, everyone had to find new, knee-slapping ways to make fun of a real-life headline about a <\/a>Tennessee woman who broke a hospital record by giving birth to a 13 pound baby. Poehler started the competition by saying how the baby was so big, \u201che slapped the doctor on his ass.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFey followed with \u201ca woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby and and the new baby\u2019s name is AHHHHH.\u201d Meyers picked up the baton by joking, \u201ca woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby. Damn, did she give birth to it? Or did it drive out?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was Che\u2019s turn next. \u201cHere\u2019s a fun fact. The second the baby was out, the woman zipped around the room like a deflated balloon.\u201d Fey followed up with, \u201ca woman in Tennessee gave birth to a 13 pound baby because it\u2019s Tennessee and the baby was also pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother highlight from the jam-packed session behind the Update desk was Che making an AI joke at the expense of Jost. He talked about the infamous Sora app and how it allows \u201cusers to create cameos of themselves in videos, and they\u2019re pretty realistic. I mean, I made this one before the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReplied Jost, \u201creally excited for that to be out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
