Too late to help, 'SNL' Weekend Update figured out how to get men to wear masks
Watch Next

Saturday Night Live's Weekend Updated took on the biggest news in the U.S. this week: The CDC said fully vaccinated people don't need to wear masks in most instances. Hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che spent a few minutes on the shift and COVID news in general.

Che joked that an apparent connection between COVID and erectile dysfunction — and even, umm, genital shrinkage — could get lots of folks to wear masks or get vaccinated.

"Fauci you wan't people to get vaccinated, you need to run with this," Che said. "Forget stop the spread, it should be stop the shrink."
