The Weekend Update segment of "Saturday Night Live" this weekend managed to work in some jokes about Democrats Joe Biden and Andrew Cuomo -- while also firing at a more familiar target, former President Trump.
Co-anchor Michael Che noted that while Kamala Harris will become the first vice president to get a wax figure at Madame Tussauds, "Joe Biden is the first wax figure to become president."
"Joe Biden is the first wax figure to become president."
Colin Jost made a quick reference to Cuomo’s nursing home scandal, claiming there would be a new Broadway show out soon about the New York governor's handling of the pandemic, called "Nursinghoma." (Perhaps it's where accurate data goes sweepin' down the plain?)

Trump tested positive for the coronavirus last fall before the election but recovered well after a quick trip to Walter Reed Medical Center.
Jost continued to knock the 45th president, claiming the Republican Party’s loyalty to Trump was similar to a father telling his children to invest all their emotions in an elderly dog.
