00:00Why is everyone on the cast so friggin' good-looking?
00:03I'm sitting here looking like Chucky went to Sarah Lawrence.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the finest comedic takedowns
00:11from Sherman's Weekend Update segments.
00:14Oh my god, Colin! What are you, obsessed with me?
00:18Number 10. Eating without Colin's permission.
00:22Celebrating her birthday with a few laughs,
00:25Sarah Sherman decided to dish out a healthy roast of Colin Jost.
00:28I don't go to Houston Ares.
00:31Oh, really? Huh.
00:33This just in, Colin Jost refuses to celebrate Hispanic culture.
00:39She started an extended joke about her weight with a setup about pigs.
00:43Accusing Jost of controlling her eating habits,
00:46Sherman has fun turning the update host into an evil office manager.
00:50Super Pig is also what Colin writes on my dressing room mirror
00:54anytime he catches me eating without his permission.
00:58The segment continues as she digs deeper into the mock version of her co-star.
01:02Not one to miss an opportunity,
01:04the wacky guest finishes out the appearance with a callback.
01:08She brings out a cake and a card with a special message.
01:11It's an expert way to wrap up this gift
01:14full of playful swipes at Jost's villainous alter ego.
01:17Go ahead, read your birthday message to me that you wrote!
01:21Oh, Sarah, too bad you can't eat this cake since you failed weigh-in.
01:27Number 9, Not a Virgin.
01:30Wearing a huge raccoon costume,
01:32the cast member attacks Colin Jost as a drunken animal.
01:36What happened last night? Did we hook up?
01:38No, we didn't hook up, no.
01:41Are you sure?
01:42Yes.
01:43We could do it right now.
01:45Hey, hey, you like what you see, Colin?
01:50This includes an out-of-nowhere reference to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
01:54As Jost tries to point out Bradley Cooper's Rocket Raccoon,
01:58Sarah Sherman's character offers up a vicious put-down.
02:02There's positive representation.
02:03I mean, doesn't Bradley Cooper play a raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy?
02:07Oh, I wouldn't know.
02:08I've never seen it.
02:09I'm not a virgin.
02:11It's just the right kind of a silly comeback you'd expect from a drunkard.
02:16Sherman's full-bodied performance never disappoints,
02:19with her goofy role inspiring her to unleash some feral jokes.
02:23The roast only intensifies after the Guardians of the Galaxy's shout-out.
02:27Jost's deadpan reaction sells the bit even more,
02:30with this goofy segment featuring great physical comedy.
02:34Those are my jokes.
02:35I thought raccoons only ate trash.
02:39Exactly.
02:40Okay.
02:41Exactly.
02:43Okay.
02:43Number 8, Colin's agent.
02:45Becoming a scummy version of Colin Jost's agent,
02:48Sarah Sherman embraces a new hairstyle and some slick shades.
02:52So what's it like being my agent during the longest strike in SAG history?
02:56Well, I haven't been getting many calls about you, so, uh, yeah, pretty much business as usual.
03:02The character lets the comedian go after the update presenter with a few fictional movie roles.
03:08With projects like a biopic about Jared Fogle,
03:10the jokes keep coming as the potential films get more offensive.
03:14There's even a new take on Pocahontas from the perspective of a more vengeful John Smith.
03:19John Smith's revenge, the story of a man who hit it, quit it, and then remembered what team he's on.
03:27Feels right up your alley, Jost-y.
03:30Each new opportunity paints Jost as a conversational figure,
03:34giving him a chance to possibly get cancelled.
03:37Sherman's role is funnier with her exaggerated inflections and her co-star's self-aware reactions.
03:43Remember when you auditioned for Dahmer on Netflix?
03:46They said no, because they needed someone with the slightest glimmer of humanity.
03:52Number 7.
03:54Nosferatu's assistant joke.
03:56The hair and makeup department spare no expense to make Sarah Sherman's dreams come true.
04:01I've crossed oceans of time to find you, and also the George Washington Bridge.
04:09Traffic was crazy.
04:11When she went out as Nosferatu, she found a new way to go after Colin Jost.
04:16She used the costume and prosthetic work to further emphasize her jokes.
04:20Using a cutaway gag, Sherman really leaned into her character.
04:25And for those of you wondering, he looked just like me.
04:30Weird, white, and pointy.
04:34She also offered up a comeback after Jost pointed out the creepy fingers.
04:39The assistant joke hit even harder with the dramatic filler and scary music cue.
04:44Throughout this update role, the actress relished in getting to make her anti-Jost materials shine in horrifying fashion.
04:51You're gonna give me a nosebleed?
04:52The last thing I need is you sucking on my nose.
04:54Oh! Suck on your nose, really?
04:57No thanks, I don't want to be up all night.
05:02Number 6.
05:03RFK Jr.'s appearance.
05:05In one of the more bizarre political stories in recent years,
05:09SNL tackled the controversy surrounding Robert Kennedy Jr.'s brain worm.
05:14I've heard all different types of crazy white boy brain.
05:16Randy Quaid, Jake Paul, and right now I'm sipping on the part of Jack Harlow's brain
05:21that tells him you should've talked like that.
05:22Sarah Sherman took the desk to give voice to the life form.
05:26Along with a glorious costume, the comedian pointed out a few observations about the politician's looks.
05:33Sherman's character compared the man to spoiled chicken.
05:36If that wasn't enough, the worm also snuck in a joke about Colin Jost.
05:40He looks like a pack of chicken thighs left out in the sun.
05:44And then check out his face.
05:45He looks like someone left Bruce Springsteen in the microwave too long.
05:50His face is so red, he looks like you when you're screaming at those college protesters, Colin.
05:56The redness of Kennedy's skin reminded the creature of Jost's reaction to university protests.
06:02Mixing in gross-out highlights with surprise laughs,
06:05the cast member once again knocks it out of the park.
06:08Your brain is so smooth, it's like a cue ball.
06:10It's not a wrinkle in sight, you Botox that dude too?
06:14Put down the needle, Colin.
06:16You've done enough damage already.
06:19Number 5.
06:20Talking Senator John Fetterman
06:22Sarah Sherman doesn't always just roast Colin Jost when she's at the desk.
06:27Don't let the queer haircut fool you, honey.
06:29I'm as straight as Michael Che's update persona.
06:35For this weekend update feature, the comedian completely takes over with her own twisted program called Sarah News.
06:42She also takes aim at other targets, including American politicians from Pennsylvania.
06:47This particular jab focuses on the stature of Senator John Fetterman.
06:52Thanksgiving must have come early this year because that hunk is giving the turkey waddle between my legs something to
07:00be thankful for.
07:02Describing him in Sesame Street terms, the joke contains a backhanded compliment and some less-than-kind words.
07:09What follows is Sherman's fantasy about having Fetterman in her bedroom complete with a nod to his wardrobe.
07:16It's yet another way that she stands out by subverting expectations.
07:19Those cargo shorts and hoodies don't belong on the Senate floor.
07:23They belong crumpled up on my bedroom floor.
07:27Number 4.
07:28Sarah's Weather Update
07:29Going outside 30 Rock, Sarah Sherman gives a report on both the weather and Colin Jost.
07:35Her appearance focuses on her fake lore about the update host and his views on women.
07:40Tell us something about the weather.
07:41How many degrees is it outside?
07:43Fine.
07:44The temperature is how you say you like your women.
07:4820, but it feels like 15.
07:51With a thermometer in hand, Sherman fires off an edgy joke about the temperature outside.
07:56Jost plays along and laughs despite the comedic insinuations.
08:00The field reporter then reveals her dress, prompting more funny bits about her co-star's clothing preferences.
08:06You said you wanted to use my nips as pull-up pegs like an American ninja warrior?
08:13There's also some made-up quotes that trip up the target back in the studio.
08:18Perhaps the craziest part of this roast comes with some props.
08:21With Jost wearing a bib and holding silverware, he looks more happy to play along.
08:26It's so steamy down there, my crabs are getting cooked into a full-on seafood boil.
08:33All you need is some garlic butter.
08:38Number 3, Sarah Roasts Colin Again.
08:41While she's supposed to be talking about the winter, the comedian uses this as another jumping-cough point for a
08:48Colin Jost roast.
08:48You paid $200 for rent? Where do you live?
08:52Wow! Breaking news!
08:57Hampton's homeowner, Colin Jost, mocked struggling comedian for finding a good deal by living in his doghouse.
09:07Sarah Sherman once again twists around the Weekend Update host's words for her own gain.
09:12In this edition, she tackles opinions about hygiene and hair choice, among other laugh-out-loud moments.
09:19Sherman also takes aim at Jost for being elitist about home ownership and wealth hoarding.
09:24In other news, wealth hoarding Hollywood husband Colin Jost has not a dime to spare for SNL's underpaid rookie.
09:35It's a wild trip through this surreal segment,
09:38with the guest correspondent offering up some comical accusations.
09:42Even Michael Che joins the action as his co-star becomes threatened by the verbal pummeling.
09:47We're baiting update anchor Colin Jost pretends to be gay for laughs.
09:55Damn, Colin, you are the worst.
09:57Number 2, Sarah's debut Colin Roast.
10:00During her early days on SNL, the new cast member had to separate herself from the pack.
10:05She chose to make Colin Jost the target of an ongoing roast campaign.
10:10I could say something right now that could ruin my life and yours.
10:15Please don't.
10:16I kind of want to, I'm crazy.
10:19For this Weekend Update feature, she unleashed a tirade of digs at her co-star.
10:24This includes calling Jost a pervert in an extended roast about him.
10:28Presenting jokes as a news story,
10:30Sherman also calls her scene partner a mansplainer and a sicko.
10:34In other news, self-proclaimed nipple expert, Colin Jost, caught mansplaining live on television.
10:44Now back to you, Colin.
10:46This went over so well that it prompted many future appearances.
10:50In the wake of this breakout segment,
10:52the young entertainer made a name for herself as an unexpected and effective insult comic.
10:57Noted white feminist, Michael Che, protects innocent Jewish girl from gorgeous fascist Colin Jost.

11:35Roasting Colin's Office
11:37During this weekend update, Sarah Sherman leaves the desk for an unlikely studio tour.
11:42She then steps into Colin Jost's office for a closer look.
11:46You are funny.
11:48You are handsome.
11:51You are the real king of Staten Island.
11:54There's some notes on the wall that prompt some criticism about his interior design and emotional state.
12:00Sherman mocks the decor that includes a photo shrine with a mistake leading to some big laughs.
12:06What's all this then?
12:09Oh, a thing that I threw?
12:12I knew that was supposed to be.
12:17Each new detail prompts some roasts about the update host's apparent obsessions.
12:23To top things off, an intern cage makes the guy look even more comical and wicked.
12:28It's the perfect encapsulation of the relationship between these two SNL comedians.
12:33What do we have here, folks?
12:35It's Colin's famous intern cage!
12:38Yuh-oh!
12:39Looks like somebody messed up a Starbucks order.
