Saturday Night Live aired a very special Thursday edition of Weekend Update last night.
And, of course, the action centered primarily around the current political climate, like this timely take on Hall and Oates' classic "You Make My Dreams." Sample line: "You could pick the cool black guy or a weird old man who's lame."
The show's version is almost as good as the original, which we've included down below.

Saw it.
It was probably the funniest thing of the night. I really dug Will Forte's part + I think he kept up with the original rhythm of the song pretty well.
