'SNL' Weekend Update crams a week of Trump missteps into 8 minutes

"The pace of this presidency is exhausting."

Saturday Night Live didn't exactly shy away from politics this week, which featured Trump impersonator-in-chief Alec Baldwin as the host. But most of the top real world headlines were skewered not in sketches, but in a dizzying Weekend Update instead.

Co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost spat out one-liner after one-liner during an 8-minute tour through the many missteps and gaffes committed by the Trump White House during the preceding week. Che nailed it when he said: "The pace of this presidency is exhausting."

Only one news event merited more than a one-liner: Mitch McConnell silencing Elizabeth Warren in the Senate as she argued against U.S. attorney general Jeff Sessions' confirmation. The Warren role went to Kate McKinnon and ... well ... watch it for yourself.
