Colin Jost and Michael Che took on the latest headlines on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update tackling the controversies around Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” shirt and…
, a take on the Black Lives Matter movement that was created to raise awareness of police brutality. Che made light of the rapper’s appearance on the Tucker Carlson show on Fox News “to defend wearing a White Lives Matter shirt claiming he wore the shirt because he was using a gut instinct.”“But what he’s definitely not using are the meds prescribed to him,” Che quipped with the joke that completely fell flat with the audience in the studio.
Jost proceeded to ask Nwodim’s Ariel how it felt like to be called a hero and a role model to young girls.‘Saturday Night Live’ Calls Out Herschel Walker, Elon Musk And “Influencers” With Cold Open Centered On Things That Make Us Snap “Role model to who? Black girls who want to be a fish?” Ariel said. “I gotta be honest Colin, it’s a lot of pressure. People are all like, ‘Oh Ariel, you’re perfect. You’re the hero we need.’ B***h, I am normal.”
Ariel joked that she didn’t ask for any of this adding, “My mom got drunk and had sex with a tuna and now I’m here.” Ariel did the most to showcase her negative characteristics and go against all positive projection people have of her, calling herself dumb and saying she was “pro-Sea World.”Watch the segment below.
