mocked Elon Musk for inviting people to work for his Department of Government Efficiency more than 80 hours per week for no money and said it's no wonder that the white African guy's first idea is slavery. “You can’t be surprised that the white African guy’s first idea is slavery,” Weekend Update anchor Michael Che said. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's DOGE is looking for a few good super high IQ volunteers who need to work over 80 hours per week but there will be no payment. Their task is to reduce wasteful government expenditure. "Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies, & compensation is zero," Musk wrote. "What a great deal!" It's not clear whether he meant it as a joke.
"Trump nominated Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Gaetz said the same thing he says when he sees a teenage girl: I’ll do it,” co-anchor Colin Jost said. "Gaetz, who was created when Frankenstein raped Dracula, was chosen for attorney general after Trump remembered that his original pick was found in dead a jail cell."
Jost said RFK Jr the first brain worm survivor nominated to a cabinet-level position and said his skin is always cooked to a perfect medium rare. “Congratulations to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who became the first brain worm survivor nominated to a cabinet level position. Kennedy, whose skin is always cooked to a perfect medium rare, will lead the Department of Health and Human Services. I know he doesn’t have a lot of experience, but I say we give him a shot," Jost said referring to his anti-vaccine stance.
In the Cold Open sketch on Saturday Night, James Austin Johnson played Donald Trump introducing Dana Carvey's Joe Biden to his crazy cabinet. "It’s all about surrounding yourself with the best people. And I am very vastly picking the most epic cabinet of all time. They’re some of the most dynamic, free-thinking, animal-killing, sexually-criminal, medically-crazy people in the country."
And then Matt Gaetz was played by Sarah Sherman, RFK Jr by Alec Baldwin as Trump's cabinet picks appeared one by one. “Americans need someone to teach them how to be healthy, someone like me, a 70-year-old man with movie star looks and a worm in his brain,” Baldwin said in Kennedy's shaky voice. “I care deeply about a woman’s right to choose,” Baldwin’s RFK Jr. said, before clarifying, “To choose to give her child polio.”
