For seemingly the millionth week in a row, every news headline was more dire than the last. But at least Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update brought some levity to the proceedings.

Longtime co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che played their usual roles as current event court jesters, taking digs at everything from the crypto crash, to the ongoing baby formula shortage, and even Mitch McConnell's visit to Ukraine. Boy, it can't be easy to come up with jokes about the news right now, huh?

At least someone is willing to try.
