The sketch show’s latest instalment, which aired on Saturday, was hosted by Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny, and saw comedians Colin Jost and Michael Che address the US president’s response to the Israel-Hamas conflict. In the Weekend Update segment of SNL, Jost mocked Biden for his “strong warning to anyone thinking of attacking Israel”, which was compiled into a video montage of his repeated use of the word “don’t”. “I really like that Biden only needs one word to get his point across; he’s basically the Groot of presidents,” Jost said. Groot is a character from the Marvel franchise Guardians of the Galaxy, who is unable to say anything except the phrase: “I am Groot.” Jost added: “But to give you an idea how effective ‘don’t’ is, it’s the same thing Biden says to his dog right before it bites another Secret Service agent.” ‘SNL’ star Colin Jost mocks Joe Biden Biden’s decision to describe the Hamas attack as “like 15 9/11s” was also mocked, with Jost stating: “You can’t go somewhere to calm people down and then start rating things in numbers of 9/11.
