I thought it was a decent episode. I actually liked the virus sketch, and the Dionne Warwick & Rap Roundtable sketches were both pretty good. Chalamet did a good job; he seemed to play off Pete Davidson particularly well and did his best to make the Tiny Horse pre-tape worth watching. Talented kid; I remember seeing him on Homeland.
I thought the Springsteen songs both sounded very generic. He certainly has some songs I like over his long career but I'm just a casual fan as well.

Totally agree.
I'll add that I loved the Tiny Horse bit. Looks like I'm in the minority there, but I thought it was funny, weird, and charming.

Christmas Morning pre-taped segment was the best. Secret Word got a few laughs me. Great to see Willie back on Update. Other than that a very average episode.
I had heard the Carrey would not be returning as Biden, I too thought he was going to be there for the season. I’m okay with that; his portrayal never grew on me and didn’t generate the buzz as Baldwin’s Trump.
Jost said that was last Update with Trump as President? When do they return? Hard to believe they’ll be off a full month. They’ve an odd schedule this season.

I had a lot of fun with that episode. Not perfect, some duds, buy mostly fun. I laughed a lot.
Dua Lips is great. I really need to revisit her new album. I haven't listened to it in months.

I was hoping they'd bring Sudekis back for his Biden. I always thought he was the best one.
