'It’s been very weird to see all these people who clearly hate Trump come out and say we wish him well. I think a lot of them are just guilty that their first wish came true'
Feeding off the energy of Chris Rock’s opening SNL monologue, Colin Jost and Michael Che returned to their Weekend Update desk to skewer the news of President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis.

But mathematically, if you were constructing a joke, this is all the ingredients you need.
“Is anyone surprised by this?” Che asked. “I honestly thought Trump was trying to get coronavirus. I thought it was like Groundhog Day when Bill Murray couldn’t die and was just trying anything.
