will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.
death to AmeriKKKa
SNL have been good little genocide enablers, but a couple weeks ago on Weekend Update, during a joke about Biden saying he wouldn’t send in National Guard troops to clear university encampments, Michael Che quipped, “I’m just glad to see him not send military aid somewhere.”
Complete crickets in the studio.
I’m not a huge fan of Che as a comedian, but his shocked reaction to the absolute silence in the studio made it one of the funniest moments I’ve seen on the show in years.
Found it, about 1:50

Or maybe the studio laughed but they edited it out
I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. The video JoeByeThen shared has some scattered laughs that I didn’t remember from the version I saw. It could be one was from dress and the other from the live show, but editing out laughs is just as likely for sure.
