Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week's biggest news on last night's Saturday Night Live US – like President Trump claiming that the new White House ballroom contained armed drones.
The White House also removed CNN from the press pool in the latest move from the petty president and a toddler brought a gun into a daycare.
Matchmaker Debbie Mush (Sarah Sherman) also stopped by to give her ideas about who Michael Che should date.
