Alec Baldwin performed a remote impression of Donald Trump for SNL's Weekend Update, which was criticized for poor audio quality and technical glitches. The segment highlighted the difficulty traditional television productions face when attempting to replicate the DIY aesthetic of successful YouTubers and podcasters.

Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" featured a segment with Kate McKinnon portraying Elizabeth Warren, which the hosts analyze as a calculated promotion by NBC. The sketch allowed the "fake" Warren to dismiss criticisms regarding corporate donors and billionaires in a humorous, relatable way. The hosts suggest this indicates the network's current preference for Warren over other Democratic candidates.
