### "Weekend Update" Hosts Target Hollywood Stars and Royalty with Sharp Barbs
In a recent segment of "Weekend Update" on Saturday Night Live, hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost directed their humor at some of the entertainment industry's high-profile names, including Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis and rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Michael Che did not shy away from addressing the serious allegations against Diddy, who has been accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault. Che commented, "It was reported that the U.S. added 245,000 new jobs. Unfortunately, they were all 'Diddy accuser.'" He further remarked on the legal proceedings of the case, "It was announced that Sean 'P Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking case has been assigned to a new judge, [a judge] that Diddy hopes is cool with rapes."
Colin Jost joined in, adding a royal twist to the commentary. "It was reported that Diddy once invited Prince Harry and Prince William to one of his parties, but they did not go," Jost said. Taking a dig at another royal linked to scandal, Jost quipped, "Before Diddy could finish writing the invite, Prince Andrew was there."
The "Weekend Update" segment continues to be a platform for taking humorous aim at current events and celebrity controversies, with this episode being no exception.
