This will be awful. It won't work over 30 minutes.

One of SNL's handicaps is that they're once a week and WU deals with timely news. By the time they get to the jokes, every punchline has already been used on the daily shows and on social media.

At least this gives them a chance to hit some of the news of the early week before it gets stale.
