Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update had a rich array of news stories to tackle this week, from the FAA’s nationwide ground stop to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s multiple affairs. Naturally, hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost kicked off the segment by joking about both.
“The FAA suddenly and mysteriously grounded all US flights yesterday,” Jost began. “‘Oh thank God, a <a href="https://comicvibe.com/joe-jonas-and-tatiana-gabriela-break-up-they-just-have-different-lifestyles/” title=”Joe Jonas and Tatiana Gabriela break up: ‘They just have different lifestyles’”>different news story,’ said Jensen Huang.”
Che and Jost continued to poke fun at the FAA’s grounding of all US flights. According to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, the ground stop was caused by a maintenance issue involving a switch from copper wire to fiber-optic cable.
“So one guy switched out one wire and took out all planes? I think that’s literally a scene from the movie Airplane!” Jost continued.
Next up, Che and Jost delved into Huang’s sex scandal, including his affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
“Jensen Huang agreed to testify before Congress about his extramarital affairs,” Che said. “Anything to avoid going home.”
The pair also touched on the economic ramifications of Huang’s resignation.
“The Jensen Huang sex scandal has sent Nvidia’s stock tumbling, which is scaring financial experts since Nvidia’s chips are powering the AI boom that is propping up the entire US economy,” Jost said. “Which means Jensen Huang had a midlife crisis so bad, you might lose yourhouse in his divorce.”
