"Do a silly one!": "Saturday Night Live" roasts Gaetz on "Weekend Update"

Salon  

"Saturday Night Live" had plenty to say about Donald Trump's Cabinet picks this week, but they saved their most cutting material for "Weekend Update," where anchor Colin Jost unloaded on former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. Gaetz went on to say that the would-be attorney general was an unholy amalgam of Dracula and Frankenstein and that he only got the job because "Trump's original pick" Jeffrey Epstein "was found dead in a jail cell." “Elon Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency posted a job listing saying that they are looking for people willing to work 80 plus hours a week for no money,” co-host Michael Che said. “But you can’t be surprised that the white African guy’s first idea is slavery.” Jost went on to roast potential Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying his skin is cooked to a "perfect medium rare" and asking viewers to give the vaccine skeptic "a shot" over the image of a needle entering an arm.
