Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) advertises his God Bless the USA bible.With luck and hard work by his opponents, we won't have Donald Trump in power and possibly even the news next Easter. If we do, we'll have worse things to worry about than an SNL Easter skit with Trump as Pontius Pilate or the equivalent.
Mocking of TFG selling Bibles resumed in Weekend Update: Trump Selling $60 Bibles, Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses.
Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week's biggest news, like former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama attending a fundraiser for President Joe Biden in New York City.Wow, it was a busy news week! At least the SNL writers found time for Boeing's current problems, including Boeing’s embattled CEO being poised to walk away with millions. Nothing like a golden parachute for jumping out of a malfunctioning airplane!
Weekend Update continued with Robotic Police Dog Shot, Oppenheimer Premiers in Japan.
Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week’s biggest news, like a famous Washington D.C. cherry blossom tree getting chopped down.The Oscar-winning Oppenheimer opening in Japan makes today's post worthy of being the Sunday entertainment feature. A robotic police "dog" being shot reminds us that we live in science fiction times complete with 21st Century crime scenes. Also, pour one out for poor Stumpy, although the tree's genes will live on.
Follow over the jump for the rest of Weekend Update, two Ramadan skits, and a recap of last year's top SNL posts.
Speaking of 21st Century crime scenes, watch TikToker Piper Dunster on Kate Middleton Conspiracy Theories.
TikToker Piper Dunster (Chloe Fineman) stops by Weekend Update to discuss her questionable posts.Look on the bright side of TikTok potentially being banned in the U.S. Stupid takes like these will disappear, at least inside the country. Canadians will still be able to see them, at least on private devices; Canada banned the app from government-issued ones. By the way, I'm not optimistic about the Senate passing the divestiture bill, because that would be messing with Americans' entertainment. That almost never goes well.
Weekend Update closed with Flaco the Owl's Widow On Her Husband's Death and Autopsy, following up on the report of his death in 'SNL' mocks 'Biden is old' in 'Inside Politics' cold open.
Flaco the Owl's widow (Sarah Sherman) stops by Weekend Update to discuss her late husband's recent passing and autopsy results.Sarah Sherman is having entirely too much fun with her owl impression and I'm there for it.
It's also Ramadan, which was one of the subjects of host Ramy Youssef's Monologue.
Host Ramy Youssef performs stand-up about the holy month of Ramadan, getting a call from the Biden campaign and prayer.Ramadan mubarak.
Youssef had a more irreverent take on the holy month in Ozempic for Ramadan.
A commercial rebrands Ozempic for use during Ramadan fasting.As an Ozempic user, I thought this was hilarious. As I last wrote in The real Nikki Haley crashes the fake Trump town hall plus Weekend Update mocks Taylor Swift conspiracy theories on 'SNL', "This clip serves as another demonstration of the commercial...parodies being one of the best parts of 'SNL.' When they're on, they're on, and this one was ON!"
Normally, I'd stop here, but I'm using this post as a opportunity for a retrospectives of the top posts featuring SNL during the 13th year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News.
The second most read SNL post during the 13th year of this blog was 'SNL' satirizes Jim Jordan's losing bid for Speaker posted October 22, 2023. I shared it at the Coffee Party USA/Citizen Connect Facebook page, helping it earn 845 default and 849 raw page views to rank third overall and second among posts written during the month.

Pete Davidson hosts as 'Saturday Night Live' returns posted on October 15, 2023, didn't look that impressive in October 2023, as it earned 292 default and 334 raw page views after being shared at the Coffee Party USA/Citizen Connect Facebook page. That was enough to place it 10th overall by default page views that month, ninth overall by raw page views, and eighth among entries posted that month.

I shared James Austin Johnson's 'Trump' hijacks the Last Supper on 'SNL' for Easter posted April 9, 2023 to the Coffee Party USA/Citizen Connect Facebook page. That helped it earn 340 default and 353 raw page views, ranking it tenth overall by both measures and eighth among entries posted that month.
