Plot: Quickly sounding off on the news that broke hours earlier Saturday that Cain was abandoning his quest for the nation’s highest office, Weekend Update hosted Herman Cain, portrayed by a mustachioed Kenan Thompson. Seth Meyers gave up on keeping a straight face in this sketch, though it wasn’t until halfway through that the humor caught on. He underscored that he was innocent until proven guilty in his indiscretions; if the American people didn’t afford him that, he should just go and move to “Libibya.” And when considering why these allegations hurt his reputation in the eyes of women, the skit ended in a slew of innuendos – and neither party could keep a straight face.
Best Line: “So I’m asking all you ladies out there, instead of bending for the media, (long, neck-craning pause), bend for Herman Cain.”
