‘SNL’ trusts Biden for recent mistakes – literal or not

This weekend’s Saturday Night Live scoffed at President Biden – about his stumbling on the stairs that lead to Air Force One and last week’s first press conference since taking office.

“This week I felt like Biden on those stairs,” Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost joked about recent events while showing a photo of Biden stumbling on the stairs at Andrews Joint Base in Maryland before a flight to Atlanta.

Jost also applauded Biden for “how well he danced break”, while a repeated fall video played the 1990s song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”.

The other co-host Michael Che gave a “message to Fixodent” after noting that Biden’s press conference lasted more than an hour.

“At the press conference, President Biden was asked if he plans to run for re-election in 2024,” said Che, “which is probably the best way to ask if he plans to be alive in three years.”

The program also repeatedly joked about the “glue sheets” that Biden was seen wearing during his presentation to reporters, first with a graphic on the Weekend Update that showed a notecard that said “You = Joe Biden”.

The “SNL” also cannot fail to recall some of the infamous notes of former President Trump’s speech, such as the one that said “I want nothing, I want nothing, I don’t want quid pro quo”, related to his first impeachment, which Jost said it sounded like a rap lyric from “Legally Blonde: The Musical.”

“Such a fun and solvable problem.”

– Kamala Harris (played by Maya Rudolph), talking about the border crisis

Previously, in a draft in which the president participated in an Easter Seder organized by Vice President Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph) and her husband Doug Emhoff (Martin Short), Biden (Alex Moffat) spoke about critics who did not think he he was “mentally prepared enough” for the press conference.

“I think I proved that everyone was wrong,” he read slowly in a notebook.

Harris also thanked Biden in the draft for the opportunity to head the new government’s response to the crisis on the United States’ border with Mexico.

“Such a fun and solvable problem,” she said unconvincingly.
