Michael Che: With many New Yorkers still out of work, it’s more important than ever to provide accessible food to those in need. Here to talk about her mutual aid organization that delivers hot meals to families is Program Director, Jessie Raunch.

[Jessie Raunch slides in. She is wearing dirty clothes.]

Jessie Raunch: Hey! Hi, Michael. Thank you so much for having me.

Michael Che: Yeah, thanks for being here, Jessie.

Jessie Raunch: Yeah. It means everything to community horizons to have this platform to speak about food and security. This is cool.

Michael Che: Yeah, great. Why are you wearing this costume.

Jessie Raunch: Oh, I’m so sorry. I’m still on my work clothes. I came straight from there. We feed 400-500 families every week and this week was barbecue, hence all the char. So, sorry.

Michael Che: Oh, no. I’m sorry because it’s just that sweater and that hat combination looks exactly like Freddy Krueger.

Jessie Raunch: Oh, wow. Yeah. That did not cross my mind. Oh yeah, no. This is my dad’s chapeau. He dedicated his life to service. So, I always wear it. This is cool being here.

Michael Che: So, you just show up at people’s houses dressed like this? Aren’t they scared?

Jessie Raunch: What? No. They’re thankful. I mean, every once in a while, some parents say, “Oh, hell no”, and slam the door. But, you know, that’s just pride talking.

Michael Che: Yeah, I don’t think it’s pride. I think they think you’re Freddy Krueger.

Jessie Raunch: [laughing] Michael, I’m telling you, I couldn’t be more different than Freddy Krueger. I work in the community. I’m a part of kid’s dreams.

Michael Che: Okay. That’s what Freddy does. He infiltrates their dreams.

Jessie Raunch: No, Michael. They all know Ms. Jessie song.

[singing] One, two, bread’s coming for you
three, four, better open your door
five, six, I got checks mix

Michael Che: Yeah, that’s exactly what Freddy sings.

Jessie Raunch: What’s your angle, man? Are you, like, embarrassed for white girl? Because you brought up my clothes so many times at this point. I’m sorry that they’re bad to you.

Michael Che: Well, I didn’t say they were bad. They’re just a little scary.

Jessie Raunch: Why are they scary?

[when Jessie Raunch raises her hand, she has long scary claw that have knife nails]

Michael Che: Whoa! Why are you wearing those gloves?

Jessie Raunch: My work gloves? To chop meat, okay? I told you it was barbecue day and I’ve gotta be able to sever a hog swiftly and effectively.

Michael Che: That’s absolutely terrifying.

Jessie Raunch: You know what? Seriously, you know what? [pointing at Michael Che with the knife nail]

Michael Che: Stop pointing that at me.

Jessie Raunch: You know what? I’m proud to be someone who looks like they work at community horizons. And today, I was exhausted and I was covered in blood. But you know what? I looked out over all of our barbecue man, and I said, “How sweet, fresh meat.”

Michael Che: That’s the most famous Freddy Krueger quote.

Jessie Raunch: I’m gonna kill you, Michael.

Michael Che: Jessie Raunch, everybody.

Jessie Raunch: Hey, remember to wear a mask. [showing Jason’s mask]

Michael Che: For Weekend Update, I’m Michael Che.

Colin Jost: I’m Colin Jost. Goodnight.

[Starts with Michael che in his set]

Michael che: This week the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas city Chiefs and became Super Bowl champions. Tom Brady won his 7th Super Bowl and took on his fifth Super Bowl MVP award. Needless to say he’s been having a good time celebrating. Here to comment is drunk Tom Brady.

Tom Brady: Brady! Brady! Brady! What’s up, Michael? Seven Super Bowl. What? That’s insane.

Michael che: Wow, you seem to be having a good time. This is a new side of Tom Brady.

Tom Brady: Dud! It’s coz I’ve been Tampin out. I’m a Florida, baby. Yeah. They got boat parades in water and sunshine and girls wearing these little bikinis. I’m not stuck in a freezer cold in Boston with the pilgrims and old man Belichick. Hear that, Bill? You’re not my dad anymore.

Michael che: You alright, Tom?

Tom Brady: Oh yeah, man. Life’s good. I’m my own man now. I’m free to go day drinking on my new boat and toss the lombardi trophy around without a care in the world.

Michael che: Yeah. I saw you throwing the Super Bowl trophy from one boat to another.

Tom Brady: Oh, yeah. That was awesome. I’ve been bringing this bad boy around me pretty much everywhere. [pulls out the trophy. The trophy is worn and torn.] Yeah, this is a little banged up but she still works. [opens a beer bottle with the trophy] Like that. Oops. Ha-ha-ha. It works so it cracked it right open. This stuff is good. I’m finally going around with thsi stuff.

Michael che: There may be some glass in there.

Tom Brady: Yeah, maybe. If you were surprised I would toss this bad boy around, but the trophy has got a football on it. And I’m a quarterback. So, it makes sense. Ha-ha. What else am I going to do? Punt it?

Michael che: Yeah. I don’t know bout that.

Tom Brady: Another trophy.

Michael che: Are you alright, Tom?

Tom Brady: I don’t know. I just won the Super Bowl. Probably going to win another one next year too. My problem is nobody likes me.

Michael che: No. Tom, man.

Tom Brady: I don’t know what I did so wrong. All I did was go out and win Super Bowl. I keep thinking that maybe one more trophy and people are gonna like me. No. Don’t talk about the wins. They just talk about how I kiss my son.

Michael che: Hey, look man, I get it. You know. You’ve had a lot of haters but don’t let them bring you down.

Tom Brady: Dude, I’m messing with you, Che. Ha-ha-ha. I don’t care. People can say whatever they want. I’m the best damn quarterback ever. I feel great. My wife is just Gisele. I only feel good.

Michael che: Drunk Tom Brady, everybody. For Weekend Update, I’m Michael Che.

Colin Jost: I’m Colin Jost. Goodnight.
