Saturday Night Live made sure to remove a brief moment of audience swearing from the latest episodeâs live broadcast before it was rebroadcasted.
During the Weekend Update segment, co-host Colin Jost welcomed fellow cast member Ego Nwodim to comment on the White House Correspondentsâ Dinner organizersâ controversial decision to axe Amber Ruffin from the comedy slot at the forthcoming event to avoid âpolitics of division.â
âIâm just gonna come out and say it. They should let me do the White House Correspondentsâ Dinner,â Nwodim declared, explaining that each year comedians ruffle feathers by âtalking trashâ about the White House and media rather than making fun of the dinner itself.
After Jost argued that an entire comedy set couldnât just be about the food, Nwodim got up to prove him wrong. Going on to crack several jokes about the ârankâ and âblandâ food, she then brought out her stand-up persona, Miss Eggy, to serve up a few more quips.
âMiss Eggy just trynna get fed, get some, and get that Uber home. The hell?!â she said, continuing on about how sex is âa little different after 50.â
âMiss Eggy go over easy,â she added.
âAnd Cory Booker out here with his fillibuster. Shoot,â Nwodim began, referring to the New Jersey Senatorâs recent record-breaking 25-hour anti-Trump Senate speech.
âI had my fill of busters. Because these men ainât what?â she asked, prompting the studio audience to respond with a unanimous: âS***.â
The crowdâs unexpected reply left Nwodim, Jost, and co-host Michael Che in complete shock. âWe finna get fined for that,â Nwodim said, noting the correct response she had been looking for was âworth a damn.â
âYâall gonna have to pay for that. Lorneâs gonna be mad at yâall,â she warned. âIn conclusion, thank you White House for having a b****.â

Elsewhere during the episode â hosted by Jack Black and featuring musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile â James Austin Johnson spoofed President Donald Trumpâs âLiberation Dayâ announcement in which he detailed his widespread tariffs.
Taking the stage dressed as Trump, the comedian promised to make âMake America Great Depression Again.â
âThank you all for coming out to hear about tariffs. My favorite word, tariff, which, of course, is short for a-terrific-idea,â said Johnsonâs Trump, calling the tax on Americans the âbackbone of my incredible plan for our economy.â
âItâs actually even better than a plan, because itâs a series of random numbers, like the numbers on the computer screen in Severance,â he added. âYou have no idea what the hell they mean, but I know what the numbers mean ⦠They mean weâre gonna make America wealthy again. You know youâre gonna check your stock portfolio in a couple days and think âIâm almost too wealthy.ââ
But before all that, the president said, âWeâre going to do MAGDA â Make America Great Depression Again ⦠Itâll be better than great. Itâll be a fantastic, unbelievable depression, the likes of which have never been seen before.â
