Saturday Night Live - Season 46

This weekend Regina King had her turn hosting “Saturday Night Live” and we think sis really did an incredible job. Of course “SNL” couldn’t pass up the chance to create a skit about this week’s most popular topic — GORILLA GLUE. Check out the sketch below — and make sure you watch the full thing because Lil Uzi Vert and his 24 million dollar forehead stone also catch a stray!

The sketch is getting a lot of attention on social media, both positive and negative.

Some folks believe the skit was racist:

Did you find the skit to be funny or offensive? Are the writers at “SNL” just doing their jobs?

We thought they got in some really funny lines, like “every day as many as one people fall victim of using Gorilla Glue in place of a beauty product,” and “you should not have to go through life like a Lego man.” We also loved when Regina moved her head and her ponytail just stayed frozen in the same stiff position.

It’s hard these days to make any comedy that doesn’t offend somebody.

In related news, we likely have some “Brigerton” skits to look forward to next week as NBC just revealed Regé-Jean Page, the star of the Netflix series, will make his hosting debut next Saturday, February 20th. Bad Bunny was also announced as the musical guest for the first time. Anybody surprised at “SNL” jumping Regé to the front of the line like that? He is a pretty captivating and charismatic. The British star was recently nominated for a SAG Award and NAACP Image Award for his portrayal of the Duke of Hastings on the Shonda Rhimes produced series.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
