Capping off a solid Weekend Update was the first recurrence of the segment featuring Marcello Hernandez and Jane Wickline as Grant and Alyssa, “the couple you can’t believe are together.” With the former nearly breaking multiple times and the latter’s razor-sharp deadpan delivery, the bit was an instant crowdpleaser.

Meanwhile, Ego Nwodim truly brought down the house with her stand-up alter ego “Ms. Eggy,” performing an over-the-top set filled with inaccurate details about herself (that she was over 50 and had children) as she tried out for the White House correspondents dinner, which was supposed to feature Amber Ruffin as the featured entertainer this year. While engaging the crowd in a call-and-response, Nwodim accidentally got the audience to curse, making it past the typical network censors. “These men ain’t what?” she said, as the crowd audibly shouted “sh–,” prompting Jost to wave his arms around and Che to jolt out of his seat, as Nwodim ad-libbed “We’re finna get fired for that” and “Y’all gonna have to pay for that, Lorne’s gonna be mad at y’all.”
