Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che break down the controversial 2016 presidential race and share their thoughts on the buzzed-about upcoming season.

How are preparations coming along?
Che: Pretty swell! We walk effectually the office and olfactory property
each other's butts similar dogs in a dog park to go to know each other a little bit better.

Which summer news stories accept stood out to you guys?
Che: I really similar that Rachel Dolezal. [Laughs]
Jost: Did yous hear that Trump'south running?
Che: Oh, man, that'south going to exist fun.
Jost: I think that will be a recurring theme [this season]. He might be around for some time.

What do you make of his entrada?
Jost: It's the best. Otherwise, no one would care nearly the election right now. He's the just reason people are talking about it, so that's proficient for politics, fifty-fifty if people think he'south destroying [politics]. He'southward already said then many crazy things.
Jost: And I have confidence that he'll find more.
Che: The cool thing about Trump is he's said atrocious things his unabridged life, so they don't fifty-fifty have to do a background search on him. He has a treasure trunk of atrocious things he's said, only nosotros're simply pulling out all the stuff he's proverb now.
Jost: He'southward said he doesn't even take an adviser. That'south very clear! [Laughs]
Che: I don't know what insane asylum they're taking these polls from, where Donald Trump is actually in the atomic number 82 and [satirical candidate] Deez Nuts gets 9 percent.
Jost: He'southward even tougher on immigration, information technology turns out.

What were your thoughts on the start Republican debate in Baronial?
Che: The Republicans are always a circus of loons. It's always one dude that's kind of OK, just merely by clan you lot don't want to vote for him. It's like the beginning episodes of American Idol when they accept the worst people audience. Similar, that wasn't serious, was information technology?
Jost: It looks like the same set likewise. [Laughs] That debate was also similar a museum of bad haircuts. All their stylists should be fired. I've never seen that many bad haircuts.
Che: Information technology looked like they were all there to yell at their barber.

What do you think most Hillary Clinton's email scandal?
Jost: It's bizarre, considering the way she's going well-nigh it worries me. I don't believe she'southward deleting content that's actually that important, but why she was deleting sure things in full general is very strange to me.
Che: The good news for Hillary no affair what happens is she doesn't have to be the perfect candidate; she just has to exist better than Jeb and Trump. And it don't accept a lot to be better than a guy whose last proper noun is Bush and another guy whose last job was judging Miss Universe.
Jost: Which he was fired from!
Che: All she has to say is "I'm not them" and she'south already got my vote.
Since we're more than a twelvemonth abroad from the election, should we be taking any of this seriously?
Che: No. I don't think it matters in the long run. Hillary and Jeb and people who are serious candidates don't even take
to answer that many questions right at present. Once it starts to really oestrus up and the candidates are more established, information technology will be more than important.
Jost: I think there's a hazard a tertiary person will come into the mix somehow.
Che: This race hasn't even started. Right now is a silly time when anybody is simply being crazy and anything can happen, but information technology will start to go existent effectually Feb.

Obama's coming upward on his last stretch in office. Thoughts?
Che: I like that he'due south gone rogue. This is like his Brewster'due south Millions year! He's gonna pitch for the Yankees or something!
Jost: Whenever at that place'southward an election, people pay more than attention to all news in general. Information technology's like a rising tide raises all boats. Is that a phrase?
Che: I've never heard it.
Jost: I think ascent tides destroy all houses.

How are you feeling near your first host and musical invitee this season, Miley Cyrus?
Jost: She is upwardly for anything. She'due south daring, smart and knows what people are fatigued to or what will make people react.
Che: She actually loves the show, and she trusts the writers and the process. So we don't feel restricted in writing for her because we know she's going to be groovy. She'south been acting as long as she'due south been singing, so she's got the chops. She also knows how to toe the line so information technology's something that can be on TV while nonetheless pushing the line where it'due south something exciting to watch.

What excites you near having Amy Schumer as your second host?
Che: I call back it's going to be absurd since she does a sketch show. I love Amy. We both know her from the stand-up world.
Jost: I'g trying to think of the terminal time we had someone on who also had a sketch show.

Tracy Morgan will be hosting the Oct 17 episode, a very rare public appearance since his well-nigh fatal 2014 car accident. Is information technology exciting having him back?
Che: Information technology's really good to encounter him in slap-up shape and in good enough spirits to do comedy. If Tracy was simply coming to visit, it would be merely as exciting.
Jost: We were hoping he was going to come to the 40th [anniversary special in Feb], but he nonetheless wasn't physically able to. I think it will be a really special moment to come across him back on his feet and doing what he'south great at.

Weekend Update has e'er been the centerpiece of SNL. Exercise you feel more pressure or scrutiny than other cast members?
Che: I try non to because, at the end of the day, it's but comedy. You're going to get people to laugh at something of import and something stupid, so you accept to have a good time with information technology. Y'all never know what's going to score or resonate—it could be one line or a whole segment. We don't put anything out at that place that we're worried most. Nosotros but practise the jokes as best we can.
Jost: I call back anybody feels the very normal human being pressure of being on live television in forepart of millions of people. But y'all learn to have more fun with just the audience in front of you.
Che: Wait, do you mean nosotros should get paid more? Because nosotros do deserve raises! [Laughs]

Today'due south news is also saturated with serious stories about mass shootings and racial tensions. How practice you put a comedic spin on that?
Che: These things go covered then much that everybody's making their ain jokes at present anyhow. And so it's virtually desensitizing everybody from it just considering it'due south happening then often. Information technology becomes a weird affair.
Jost: Also, weirdly less newsworthy.
Che: Which is also scary! I don't know how to gear up that.
Jost: I don't think yous particularly take to fix it.
Che: I'yard pretty sure that's my job, to fix information technology. This year, we've got to fix gun control, man. Either that or Deez Nuts is gonna do information technology! [Laughs]
