New cast member Michael Longfellow was front and center, making his Weekend Update debut as the child of conservatives.
“Well, my family is from Arizona, so if you can get in trouble for what your parents think — uh, it’s been a good run,” he said.
Jost and Che were also joined by James Austin Johnson and Kenan Thompson on the desk as Mitch McConnell and Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker
Che then questioned Johnson’s McConnell about the qualifications Walker has to be running for a Senate seat, saying that he plays football and the state of “Georgia likes football.”
The jokes got increasingly more chaotic after Che asked Walker if he had any actual proposals with “BBQ Tuesdays” and another one to “create a department of Instagram booty” to battle the girls “faking their cake.”
