The veterans of comedy are showing the waterboys (hello, Jimmy Fallon) how it’s done. As Twitchy noted earlier tonight, Jim Carrey went there with a Brian Williams joke on the SNL red carpet as Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, and Tina Fey gritted their teeth.
Next up: Jerry Seinfeld took the stage at the event and did what the Weekend Update anchors refused to do. Bravo.
Brian Williams might want to self-suspend for a few more weeks after this #SNL40 https://t.co/pXzNF1S0nJ
