- NBC’s latest episode of “Saturday Night Live” included a “Weekend Update” segment about President Donald Trump’s positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
- In the segment, Kate McKinnon appeared as a fictional “Dr. Wayne Wenowdis” to provide a second opinion on Trump’s diagnosis.
- As part of her character, McKinnon repeated the phrase “we know this” several times while in conversation with host Colin Jost about Trump’s condition.
- McKinnon and Jost eventually burst into laughter. Jost asked: “Kate, are you OK?” She responded, saying: “Obviously, I’m not.”
- “It’s such a crazy time and this is something I started doing to cope,” the actress said, turning to the studio audience and Jost. “I have a lot of wigs and mustaches at my disposal, and it’s refreshing to play a character who ‘know this.'”
