Added Jost: \u201cIt\u2019s weird to me that the media uses the term \u2018openly\u2019 gay<\/a>, which just implies there are a bunch of other governors out there they\u2019re pretty sure about. But for now they\u2019re still going to call<\/a> them confirmed bachelors.\u201d<\/p>\n Also covered: Beto O\u2019Rourke\u2019s campaign of garlic and crosses against Ted Cruz, Stacey Abrams\u2019 run-off with Brian Kemp, Florida\u2019s ballot initiatives, the suburban women<\/a> revolt, and Trump\u2019s denial that he uses racial slurs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Cecily Strong joined the broadcast as the White House intern hired to take things away from people, like Jim Acosta\u2019s mic and Colin Jost\u2019s pencil.<\/p>\n Once she got the pencil the news went on to cover Trump\u2019s appointment of \u201cMichael Chiklis impersonator\u201d Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general, until Strong\u2019s intern returned to accuse Jost of punching her.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Weekend Update then addressed last week\u2019s controversy, when Pete Davidson mocked Dan Crenshaw for his eye injury, which took place while he was serving in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n Said Davidson: \u201cIn what I\u2019m sure was a huge shock for people who know me, I made a poor choice last week. I made a joke about Lieutenant Commander\u00a0Dan Crenshaw\u00a0and on behalf of the show and myself, I apologize. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, it was a poor choice of words. The man<\/a> is a war hero and he deserves all the respect in the world and if any good came from this, maybe it\u2019s that for one day, the left and the right finally came together and agreed on something\u2026 that I\u2019m a d\u2013k.\u201d<\/p>\n Crenshaw then rolled in on a chair, and Davidson invited him to make fun of a photo of him.<\/p>\n Said Crenshaw: \u201cThis is\u00a0Pete Davidson. He looks like if the meth from\u00a0Breaking Bad<\/em>\u00a0is a person. He looks like a troll doll with a tapeworm.\u00a0Pete\u00a0looks like\u00a0Martin Short\u00a0in\u00a0The Santa Clause 3<\/em>. By the way, one of these guys<\/a> is actually good on\u00a0SNL<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Back to the news: Ruth Bader Ginsburg\u2019s fall, Gritty\u2019s write-in campaign for governor, People Magazine\u2019s Sexiest Man Alive Idris Elba, the Spice Girls reunion tour (sponsored by Old Spice), the NYC marathon proposal, the Walmart alligator,\u00a0 and a woman<\/a> who celebrated her 106th birthday at Taco Bell.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The post SNL Weekend Update Riffs on Gay Gov. Jared Polis, the Mic-Taking WH Intern, and Pete Davidson\u2019s Apology: WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad Gay News<\/a>.<\/p>\n
