SNL Weekend Update somehow made a Bronny James joke about Donald Trump’s win

We promise, it makes actual sense.

Of course the Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live this week — hosted by Bill Burr — was going to deal with the 2024 presidential election, as the cold open did.

And wouldn’t you know it? There was a sports joke woven in about it.

Here’s what Michael Che said: “Clearly, I’ve been spending too much time with you white liberals and your goofy optimism. It wasn’t even close. At one point, [Donald] Trump was so far ahead, they put in Bronny [James].”

A clear reference to a blowout victory that would feature Bronny getting put in because the Los Angeles Lakers game would be out of reach.

Watch below, around the 1:04-minute mark:
