Linda McMahon, the former CEO of WWE, became the butt of jokes on the fresh episode of Saturday Night Live’s popular Weekend Update segment. The sketch comedy show segment was led by Colin Jost and Michael Che, both of whom participated in the well-known Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal during WrestleMania 35.
During the episode, host Colin Jost humorously alluded to McMahon’s role in implementing Donald Trump’s initiative to deconstruct the department of education. It’s worth noting that McMahon currently presides over this department.
In a comic assertion, Jost linked the return of education to individual states with the potential of peak test scores hitting 69. This quip was presented alongside a static image showing Kane performing his signature Tombstone move on Linda McMahon.
McMahon, despite her high-ranking position, does not possess a conventional educational background. Interestingly, she resigned from her post on Connecticut’s Board of Education in 2010 amid controversies surrounding her qualifications. Though she initially claimed to hold an Education degree, it was later revealed that her educational background was in French. She went on to assert that she had misunderstood her degree to be in Education and French concurrently.
Saturday Night Live, through their official Twitter page, shared the humorous Weekend Update featuring Colin Jost and Michael Che.
