Colin Jost's Weekend Update landed a line about Trump and Argentina that left the studio suddenly, awkwardly quiet.
On 18 October 2025, during Saturday Night Live's Season 51 episode hosted by Sabrina Carpenter, Colin Jost used his 'Weekend Update' desk to poke at US President Donald Trump's recent financial backing of Argentina, quipping that 'if history is any guide, a lot of Trump officials will end up fleeing to Argentina,' a reference that explicitly echoed the post-war flight of Nazi war criminals to South America.
