Weekend Update Colin Jost Jokes About Kanye West’s Controversial Week In The News – Deadline

Kanye West has made headlines all week after his continued anti-Semitic remarks Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” covered everything.

Colin Jost began the segment by discussing West’s appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Jone’s internet show, in which he spewed out more hate and love for Hitler.

“It didn’t go well,” said Jost to take it lightly.

Jost then referred to West and said, “I like Hitler,” and joked that this was “the same password he used to come to Mar-a-Lago” for his visit to Donald Trump.

“As of this writing, I don’t think Kanye has come off his meds as much as he’s immune to it,” added Jost. “We’re basically dealing with the Omicron variant of Kanye. We thought he was going to go away, but now we realize we might have to live with the long-distance Kanye brain fog.”

Jost then theorized, saying, “What I don’t understand about this Kanye stuff is if Jews control the media, how do we still see a new interview with Kanye every day?” If Jews controlled the media, also explain the 80-foot Christmas tree outside of NBC.”

Later in the segment, Jost referenced West again, but this time in reference to his eventual divorce from Kim Kardashian.

“I’ll put myself on my feet and assume she’ll have an easier time finding a good lawyer,” he joked.
