Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor Michael Che joked that President Joe Biden goes to work every day ‘with full blown CTE’ on this week’s show.
Che was introducing a headline about Biden’s signature of a measure that would avert a recent railway strike without guaranteeing the workers’ demands for sick leave.
The comic cracked: ‘How do you expect him to care about sick leave when he shows up to work every day with full blown CTE?’
Biden said the bill ‘helps our nation avoid what cool without a doubt would have been an economic catastrophe at a very bad time in the calendar.’
His move forces unions to accept a deal that four of them had rejected because it didn’t include paid sick leave.

Biden admitted workers had the right to it and said he would continue to fight for it.
Che and co-anchor Colin Jost also riffed on Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker.
Jost referenced the multiple reports of Walker having paid for women to have abortions that have dogged the former Heisman Trophy winner..
He said: ‘The Georgia Senate runoff set records for early voting. Herschel Walker has always encouraged his supporters to take care of voting early before it becomes a problem.’
Allegations of domestic violence and abortion hypocrisy have clouded Walker’s campaign.
In August, the Republican Accountability Project posted an ad highlighting a 2005 interview Walker’s ex-wife gave to ABC News.
Walker’s campaign then confirmed that the Senate candidate – who has previously criticized absentee fathers in black communities – has a 10-year-old son, which he fathered out of wedlock and had to be taken to court over so the mother could receive child support.
The Daily Beast then said Walker confirmed he had a second secret son, aged 13, with a different woman, and an adult daughter too – meaning the Republican has four children instead of just 22-year-old Christian.
Jost also joked about Kanye West’s summit with Alex Jones from earlier in the week, saying: ‘At this point, I don’t think Kanye is off his meds so much as he’s immune to them. We’re basically dealing with the omicron variant of Kanye. We thought he would fade away, but now we realize we may have to deal with the brain fog of long haul Kanye.’
The comic also wondered that ‘If Jews do control the media, how are we still seeing a new interview with Kanye every day?’

Dallas resident Cheryl Parsa told the Daily Beast the ex-NFL star was ‘little to no control’ over his mental state when he is not in treatment
On Thursday, Kanye West said he ‘likes’ and ‘loves’ Hitler,’ defended the Nazis and denied the Holocaust in an interview with prominent right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
Kanye West (left) appears on Alex Jones’s podcast InfoWars on Thursday with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Kanye – who now goes by ‘Ye’ – said he ‘likes Hitler’ and that he ‘brought value’
It comes days after West said he ‘likes’ and ‘loves’ Hitler,’ defended the Nazis and denied the Holocaust – and 10 days after West and white nationalist Nick Fuentes dined with former President Donald Trump at his Florida Mar-a-Lago estate.
West’s Twitter account was suspended Thursday night after he posted a Nazi swastika inside a Star of David, a religious symbol for Judaism, indicating it would be the logo for his proposed 2024 presidential campaign.
While this week’s comments were his most blatant, West has been pumping out anti-Semitic bile for months.
