SNL Alums Reunite for Epic 'Weekend Update Joke-Off'
12 Oct
Summary
- SNL celebrates 50th anniversary with special episode
- Amy Poehler hosts and challenges current anchors Jost and Che
- Poehler brings in former co-anchors Tina Fey and Seth Meyers
This past Saturday, October 7th, 2025, marked the 50th anniversary of the iconic sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. To celebrate the milestone, former SNL cast member Amy Poehler, who used to host the show's popular "Weekend Update" segment, returned to the news desk to take on the current anchors, Colin Jost and Michael Che, in a "Weekend Update Joke-Off."
Poehler didn't come alone, though. She brought in some heavy-hitting reinforcements in the form of her former SNL castmates Tina Fey and Seth Meyers, both of whom had co-anchored "Weekend Update" with Poehler during her time on the show. The group traded punchlines about a Tennessee woman who gave birth to a massive 13-pound baby, with Poehler and her team delivering some hilariously over-the-top jokes.
In the end, Poehler emerged victorious, landing the winning punch line about the woman breaking the record for "loosest vagina." It was a triumphant return for the beloved SNL alum, who proved she's still got the comedic chops to hold her own against the current "Weekend Update" team.
