The world has taken an interest in Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost's American upbringing, and so did anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che during the "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update segment on May 10. "I also love that conservatives are already complaining that this pope is too woke. How woke can a 69-year-old man from Chicago be? It's not like he came out and was like, 'Hey, I'm Pope Leo the 14th, he/him,'" Jost joked.

Even Jost was left speechless for a moment before continuing. Che discussed Trump's plans to place a100% tariff on moviesmade outside the U.S., which has led to much confusion and anger within Hollywood over the past week. Che then said that the tariffs are "no problem for me because all the movies I watched were filmed in a Florida condo on a leather couch." The quips against Trump certainly didn't end there. When bringing up Trump's plans to reopen Alcatraz "because it represents something horrible and beautiful and strong and miserable and weak," Che joked that those were also Trump's "nicknames for his five children." Marcello Hernández then reprised his role as The Movie Guy to discuss recent box office hits "Sinners" and "A Minecraft Movie." Teasing the upcoming "Jurassic World Rebirth" film starring Scarlett Johansson, Hernández jokingly mispronounced Johansson's name as "Carley Sohanson." After Jost pointed out that Johansson is his wife, Hernández quipped: "And my wife is Rihanna!" As he took in the crowd's reaction, Jost joked that "I don't like how hard you guys are laughing."
