Despite what you may have heard on Fox News, SNL explained why Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout was “actually a great trade.”
“Griner was freed from prison in an exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout,” he said. “It’s actually a great trade because Bout was only averaging five points and two rebounds a game.”
Michael Che, meanwhile, focused on Raphael Warnock’s victory over Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff. “I don’t think this is the last you’ll hear from Herschel Walker,” he said. “I mean, unless he’s your biological father.” He then joked that since Democrats “will no longer have to rely on Vice President Harris for tie-breaking votes,” Harris “can now focus on main priority, waiting for a worse bike accident.” And then, he added that Donald Trump “plans to terminate the constitution by asking Herschel Walker to drive it to the clinic.”
Later, Jost received loud groans for calling Morocco’s win over Portugal “the best World Cup performance by a team of Africans since the unpaid workers who built the stadiums.” He ultimately decided to circle back to an earlier bit by joking that at half-time, Portugal’s head coach attempted to trade Cristiano Ronaldo for Brittney Griner.
