Said the poem:

“Some things come easy, something take time / Struggles can be real, but with them you’ll find / Things happen for a reason. Sometimes you never know why / But never give up and remember it’s OK to cry / 5 years of challenges, 5 years of wait / Ups, downs in emotion, painful blows we’d take / But we learned to stay the course, hope and prayer wins / and we’re happy to finally announce…. we’re having twins!”

‘Weekend Update’ on Harvey Weinstein: ‘He Doesn’t Need Sex Rehab…He Needs a Prison’ – WATCH

‘Weekend Update’ on Harvey Weinstein: ‘He Doesn’t Need Sex Rehab…He Needs a Prison’ – WATCH

snl weinstein

Last night’s SNL featured a full sketch on sexual harassment and Harvey Weinstein, but it was less successful than a more pointed segment on Weekend Update that began with Colin Jost mocking the Hollywood mogul’s plans to go to sex rehab in Europe:

“Somehow I don’t think that’s going to help anybody. He doesn’t need sex rehab. He needs a specialized facility where there are no women, no contact with the outside world, metal bars, and it’s a prison.”

Michael Che chimed in and explained the difficulties of writing comedy around such a serious issue:

“This is a tough spot for a comedian because it’s so hard to make jokes about sexual assault but it’s so easy to make jokes about a guy that looks like this. I mean, he looks like chewed bubble gum rolled in cat hair.”

Che also mocked Weinstein’s explanation for the assaults, that they were “mistakes.

“No, man. A mistake is me walking into the wrong bathroom and using it anyway because I was crowning. But you assaulted dozens of women. That’s not a mistake. That’s a full season of law and order. Your name’s a verb now, dude, as in, if this guy tries to Weinstein me I’m going to cut off his little Harvey.’”

Finally, Che concluded:

“Doesn’t he look like a well-dressed skin tag?”

Other topics in this Weekend Update segment: Trump and healthcare, Apple emojis, Puerto Rico, the “fake news” media, Niger, and Merry Christmas.
