'SNL' Weekend Update Falls Flat with Rittenhouse Jokes: 'Hopefully He Got All of That Shooting out of His System'

Saturday Night Live (SNL)’s Michael Che attacked Kyle Rittenhouse during the latest Weekend Update segment, stating, “hopefully he got all of that shooting out of his system before he becomes a cop.”

“On Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty in the murder of two men during a Black Lives Matter protest,” Che said. “So hopefully, he got all of that shooting out of his system before he becomes a cop.”

“Protests are being held all around the country in response to the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, which is brave, because Rittenhouse just got off for shooting protesters. I don’t know, maybe don’t tempt him?” the SNL host added.

[Editor’s Note: Colin Jost then delivered a joke about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and pedophilia that’s nowhere near as funny as Tucker Carlson’s mid-trial punchline: “Joseph Rosenbaum died as he had lived, trying to touch an unwilling minor.” So it seemed more appropriate just to reprint that one.]

Che then suggested presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson deserve to be canceled as he shifted to a different topic.

“A Washington, D.C. art school is postponing renaming its theatre after alumni Dave Chappelle following his Netflix special controversy,” he said.

He then added, “Well, of course, because God forbid you should name a building after someone problematic in Washington, D.C.,” while the screen beside him displayed photos of the Washington monument and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Che is not the only member of the entertainment elite to attack Rittenhouse following Friday’s jury verdict, which found the 18-year-old not guilty of all charges.
