A few members of the Saturday Night Live studio audience got a little too enthusiastic during a Weekend Update segment.
Castmember Ego Nwodim appeared during the news segment to pitch herself as the comedian to perform at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, playing off the news that the group uninvited Amber Ruffin to perform at the April 26 dinner. After Update co-anchor Colin Jost noted that the WHCA didnt want a bunch of political jokes, Nwodim responded that thats because every year a comedian gets up there talking trash about the White House, about the media. But no ones ever just made fun of the dinner. With that, Nwodim debuted Ms. Eggy, her stand-up persona, coming in front of the Update anchor desk to let fly with a series of jokes about food, men and sex. She also did some crowd work, saying at one point, This is Ms. Eggy, and Ms. Eggy dont to which a few members of the audience shouted play!
Her next attempt is where things went sideways. Cory Booker out here with his filibuster shoot, Ive had my fill of busters. Cause these men aint what? Nwodim/Ms. Eggy said, holding her mic out to the crowd. In the live broadcast, the audience was bleeped, but it sounded like at least a couple people shouted shit in response to her question. The response was muted completely during a rebroadcast and on the version posted on YouTube. Watch the segment below and note the conspicuous silence at the 3:15 mark.
Nwodim took the outburst like a pro: We finna get fined for that, she said, noting that the correct response was worth a damn. Yall gonna have to pay for that. Lornes gonna be mad at yall.
Jack Black hosted the April 5 SNL, which featured a return appearance by Mike Myers as Elon Musk and poked fun at President Donald Trumps recently announced tariffs and Morgan Wallens abrupt exit from the show a week earlier.
