Overview
- Jeremy Culhane’s Tucker Carlson impression, which returned Saturday on Weekend Update in an episode hosted by Matt Damon with Noah Kahan, riffed on the Met Gala and the new Michael Jackson biopic.
- The monologue mocked Dwayne Johnson’s skirt, Madonna’s pirate-ship headpiece, and Heidi Klum’s veiled statue look, casting them as “gender confusion” and a burka on the Statue of Liberty.
- The segment closed with a racially charged line about A$AP Rocky’s outfit, calling it his “least favorite color, African American.”
- Culhane’s Carlson also spun a conspiracy about the silent “E” in Maine and delivered a spoof ad for “round bananas.”
- Variety, Deadline, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Mediaite characterized the reprise as biting and provocative, with no immediate responses from those lampooned reported.
