SNL’s Weekend Update Reunites Five Anchors for Rapid-Fire Joke-Off

Amy Poehler returned as host on the show’s 50th‑anniversary date.

Overview

  • Current anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che traded punchlines with alumni Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Seth Meyers in a multi-anchor reunion at the desk.
  • The joke-off centered on a real headline about a Tennessee woman delivering a 13‑pound baby, with each anchor taking a swing at the setup.
  • Poehler led with the line that the newborn 'slapped the doctor on his ass,' while Fey shouted 'Ahhhhh!' and Meyers asked if it 'drove out.'
  • Che added an AI gag referencing the Sora app, saying it enables realistic self-cameos and that he made one before the show.
  • The episode, SNL’s second of season 51, featured the show debut of musical guest Role Model, also known as Tucker Pillsbury.
