SNL's Weekend Update tackled the many lies told by Republican Rep. George Santos.

Co-host Colin Jost roasted some of the sillier falsehoods Santos peddled, including being a star volleyball player.

"Of all of George Santos' lies, my favorite was that he was a standout volleyball for Baruch College," Jost said. "Now, that is a fine-to-be but an insane thing to pretend to be. Like that's his fantasy?"

Honestly, that's a good point. From there, Jost and co-host Michael Che fired off some more jokes about Santos before getting into other headlines like the documents found at the house of President Joe Biden.
