The Saturday Night Live audience left Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che speechless with a NSFW outburst during a hilarious bit performed by Ego Nwodim.
Nwodim, 37, joined the desk to explain why she should be asked to perform at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner following the ousting of Amber Ruffin.
The SNL star showed off her stand-up comedy chops, telling the audience she’s ‘doing the roasting tonight,’ while referring to herself as ‘Ms. Eggy.’
She continuously poked fun at the food that might be served at the dinner before shifting to an unhinged conversation about men and sex.
‘Sex is a little different after 50,’ Nwodim said. ‘I’ll tell you what though – no matter what age, Ms. Eggy go over easy! OK?,’ she said as the audience and her co-stars laughed hysterically.
She then brought up New Jersey Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech from the previous week – a 25-hour, five-minute rant against the policies of President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
‘And Cory Booker out here with his filibuster, shoot, I had my fill-of-busters! ‘Cause these men ain’t what?,’ Nwodim asked, as the audience shouted back the expletive: ‘Sh**!’
All three comedians were stunned by their response, as Jost burst out in laughter, throwing his hands up in the air, Che cracked up, leaning back in his chair and Nwodim said: ‘We finna’ get fined for that!’

While Jost and Che laughed uncontrollably over the desk, Nwodim continued: ‘Y’all gonna have to pay for that! Lorne gonna be mad at y’all,’ referring to Lorne Micahels, the creator of SNL, and fines that networks are sometimes forced to pay to the federal government if they allow swearing on air.
‘In conclusion, thank you White House for having a b****,’ Nwodim said as she laughed.
‘That’s your ending? Oh my God,’ Jost responded.
‘Yes Collin, ’cause Ms. Eggy don’t what?,’ she asked the audience again as they responded: ‘Play!’
Viewers quickly reacted to the comedic moment, as one user wrote: ‘I mean, how else were they meant to fill that sentence?? lmao my brain also said sh**.’
‘Lmaoooo she is so funny she rode that really well,’ another posted.
‘The reactions have me HOWLING,’ someone else said of the comedian’s faces as soon as the audience responded.
Another user wrote: ‘The reactions are priceless! Sorry Lorne! The truth hurts!’

Nwodim also told the audience they’re going to have to pay for the fine the show could receive for the curse word, and will also be in the hot seat with Lorne Michaels, the creator of SNL (pictured in March)
‘I am in TEARS,’ a commenter wrote.
Meanwhile, others reacted angrily that the show later muted the audience’s response after the skit aired.
‘Why did y’all edit the response. The audience was hilarious,’ one said.
Someone else wrote: ‘Muting it makes the end of the sketch make no sense!’
Although a majority of people appeared to love the on-air moment, others were not so happy with it.
‘That was really very awful. lol,’ one wrote, while another simply posted: ‘Unfunny.’
Ruffin, a comedian who previously hosted her own late-night talk show ‘The Amber Ruffin Show’, was set to perform at the famed White House Correspondents dinner on April 26, but she was later removed from the event.
The White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) made the decision after she said on a podcast that Trump’s Administration was staffed with ‘murderers.’
Eugene Daniels, president of the WHCA, said that he wanted to ensure ‘the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues.’

Daniels did not mention Ruffin by name in the memo and said that the board is planning a ‘re-envisioning of our dinner’.
The move to dismiss Ruffin comes after she spoke about the dinner in a podcast with the Daily Beast.
She said that the Trump White House is staffed with ‘murderers’ and described the administration as ‘not human beings.’
Taylor Budowich, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, shared a clip of Ruffin on the podcast to his X account and slammed the comic.
In it, he said: ‘This year’s WHCA dinner will be hosted by a 2nd rate comedian who is previewing the event by calling this administration “murderers.”‘
Budowich continued to quote Ruffin saying the Trump admin shouldn’t get to feel like human beings ‘because you’re not.’
‘What kind of responsible, sensible journalist would attend something like this? More importantly, what kind of company would sponsor such as hate-filled and violence-inspiring event?’
When Daniels had originally announced Ruffin as the main feature, he said in a statement that her ‘unique talents are the ideal fit for this current political and cultural climate.’
Ruffin later doubled down on her criticism of the president’s administration, comparing them to ‘the Nazis’ in The Sound of Music.

She sat down on Seth Meyers’ NBC show – where she has worked as a writer and occasional actor since its 2014 debut – and cut him off just before he was about to make a joke about the WHCA.
‘If there’s one thing I learned from this weekend, it’s you have to be fair to both sides.,’ she told Meyers.
‘Amber, when people are objectively terrible, we should be able to point it out on television,’ he told her.
Ruffin said that she felt the same way when she was initially axed, but as days passed, she said she ‘knows that when bad people do bad things, you have to treat them fairly and respectfully.’
That’s when she went all in on her anger toward the Trump White House and the WHCA: ‘When you watch Sound of Music, you have to root for the singing children and the other people.’
Meyers asked: ‘You mean the Nazis?’
Ruffin didn’t correct him but instead joked: ‘Calling them that is so one-sided!’
