The live audience of Saturday Night Live loudly applauded a joke about the possibility of President Donald Trump being assassinated while attending a musical.
Trump attended the opening night of “Chicago” Tuesday at the Kennedy Center with First Lady Melania Trump, where he was “mostly cheered,” according to the Associated Press. SNL’s “Weekend Update” host Michael Che made an apparent reference to President Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated during a performance at Ford’s Theater in 1865.
“President Trump attended the opening night of ‘Chicago’ at the Kennedy Center, and I think that’s cool that the President is going to the theater. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?” Che asked, before the audience laughed before going into cheers and applause.
