‘SNL’ Weekend Update Jokes About Louvre Heist, Prince Andrew Losing Title

Bowen Yang appeared as former U.S. Congressman George Santos during “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live,” the place he spoke with co-host Colin Jost about what he’s been as much as following his jail release.

During the phase, Jost referenced the upcoming New York City marathon occurring before reluctantly introducing Santos as “the world’s number one marathoner.”

“Can you believe I just finished the marathon?” Yang’s Santos said, to which Jost replied, “The marathon is tomorrow.”

“Yeah, well, it’s a record. I already won!” Yang’s Santos said.

In October, President Donald Trump commuted the jail sentence of Santos, who had been sentenced to over seven years for wire fraud and aggravated id theft. Since his release, the disgraced ex-politician has launched into a media comeback tour.

“I’m going on all these shows to tell the truth about what it’s like in prison,” Yang said as Santos.

“Well, wasn’t your prison only, like, minimum security?” Jost requested.

“That’s right, I was in jail with other white-collar criminals — even though I’m Black,” Yang’s Santos said.

“You’re not Black,” Jost told him.

“Are you accusing me of lying about my race, like Rachel Dolezal, that horrible woman who lied about being Black? Remember her?” Yang’s Santos requested. “‘Cause that was me.”

Later during their dialog, Yang’s Santos said that he’s wealthy now because he “just took a trip to the Louvre.” He then unzipped his top to disclose a large necklace.

“Did you steal that?” Jost requested.

“Stole it back, you mean,” Yang’s Santos replied. “Because it belonged to my ancestors — the Zales.”

Elsewhere during the “Weekend Update” phase, co-host Michael Che talked about that King Charles had stripped his brother, Prince Andrew, of his royal title resulting from his connections to convicted intercourse offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

“Prince Andrew has been stripped of his royal title of ‘Prince’ due to his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, and Andrew says he can only become a prince again if he gets a kiss from a young princess,” Che joked.

The latest “Weekend Update” also poked enjoyable at Trump’s White House lavatory mannequin, Texas suing Tylenol over an alleged hyperlink to autism, and Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, saying that she is nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Responding to Takaichi’s nomination, Che quipped, “I can’t believe I get to say this, but thank God nobody listens to women.”
