    Weekend Update Summer Edition played as exactly what it was, namely a straightforward headline recitation delivered in typical mixed bag fashion by Michael Che and Colin Jost, padded with guest appearances by whichever members of the Saturday Night Live family weren't rushing to finish up making movies and whatnot during their summer hiatus.

    The humor didn’t quite match up to the material. During the regular season, “Weekend Update” gets a handicap precisely because it is buried in the middle of a 90-minute live sketch show with just one week to throw everything together. On its own, the premiere of the summer edition was a reminder of how sharp and hilarious the political satire game can be elsewhere.
