SNL's Weekend Update on the midterms

With Colin Jost and Michael Che

The Democrats' routing of the Republicans at the midterms obviously led Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update this week.

Colin Jost and Michael Che talked about  DonaldTrump blaming poor-quality GOP candidates and the president promoting Stephen Miller to White House Chief of Staff.

Elon Musk (Jeremy Culhane) also joined the segment after spaffing $500million on the election, with most of his candidates still losing.

And away from the elections, Che and Jost discussed the King's trip to the Caribbean, Bob Dylan meeting Pope Leo, and Martha Stewart apologising for her 'homeless person' Halloween costume.
