Weekend Update is a news segment on Saturday Night Live. It has previously been known as Saturday Night NewsLine (on the March 7, 1981 episode), SNL Newsbreak (season 7), and Saturday Night News (seasons 8-10). It occurs in every episode of SNL, commenting on or parodying current events as a 'fake news' sketch with one or two cast members pretending to be anchors, reading the week's important news headlines (and a few weird stories) and deadpanning a joke about each. "Guests" played by other cast members tend to show up and talk with the anchor(s). At various times, especially in the 1980s/early '90s, sets and graphics were modeled closely after contemporary NBC News branding while at other times a more unique/generic look was sought.
