Fury as SNL comedian makes foul joke about Trump 'being assassinated':
The Daily Mail ^ | 04/05/2026 | Kelly Garino

Saturday Night Live is under fire after a cast member cracked 'what's the worst that can happen?' about Trump attending a play - an unmistakable nod to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

During Friday’s 'Weekend Update,' comedian Michael Che took aim at the president’s visit earlier this week to the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, where he attended the opening-night showing of Chicago.

'President Trump attended the opening night of Chicago at the Kennedy Center and I think that's cool,' Che said during the skit.

'The president is going to the theater...I mean, what's the worst that can happen?'

But you could make all sorts of death wishes and threats upon George W. Bush and Donald Trump and nothing will happen to you.

An unfunny lefty propaganda machine calling itself a comedy show.

I’m old enough to remember when SNL was actually funny.

Remember when a motorist was pulled over (can’t remember which state) for having a “Abort Obama” bumper sticker?

Hahahah, that graphic made me laugh-I do enjoy the “Ching!” sound from the Garand!

My first thought was it's not good to run out but then the sound must have been better than just guessing.

So true...but I understand that guys knew when someone they were with ran out, and could cover.

Of course, I have also heard that the enemy knew that sound as well, and knew when someone was reloading!

I don’t think anyone here is going to tell you that “we can co-exist with these vermin”.
They really are beyond the pale, and I for one can’t stand them.

Perhaps you are correct. I was only using the name provided in the articel:

During Friday’s 'Weekend Update,' comedian Michael Che

However, my seeing the name made me wonder about the name Che, and if there was a connection.. So, thanks for the information.

SNL ceased to be entertaining years ago. The cast of Gen X leftists living in New York do not understand that much of the country doesn’t share their Trump hate and finds their poor attempts at humor by making Trump the butt of every denigrating joke to be not entertaining nor remotely funny. Occasionally they captured the old SNL humor as when Dana Carvy portrayed a bumbling Biden, but lately SNL is resembling more of Orwell’s “Two minute hate”

The FCC should pull NBC’s license.
