SNL U.K.’ Weekend Update Takes Aim at Katy Perry’s Met Gala Mask, Which Symbolizes ‘What It’s Like To Live Life as a Stupid Moron’

"SNL U.K.'s Weekend Update targeted Met Gala attendees this week in Episode 7, with co-host Ania Magliano saying the event's theme was "people you'd like to see exploded."

She said, "Beyoncé looked amazing," and then joked about her silver headpiece: "Someone's made the most of the Claire's closing down sale" (a reference to the closure of all Claire's Accessories stores in the U.K.).
Magliano then talked about Katy Perry's outfit, calling it "an eerie mirrored mask covering her whole face, symbolizing what it's like to live life as a stupid moron."

Moving on from the Met Gala, Magliano read a headline about former "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here" winner Scarlet Moffat, who said she "actually enjoyed eating camel penis" during her time on the show.
"And for those of you interested in showbiz jargon, in TV we call 'eating a penis' auditioning," the SNL U.K. cast member joked.

Meanwhile, co-host Paddy Young noted that famed natural history broadcaster David Attenborough turned 100 years old yesterday.
"In celebration of his milestone birthday, London Zoo have told him he's finally allowed to choose and make love to one animal to celebrate," Young said.

The Weekend Update hosts then welcomed fellow castmember Hammed Animashaun on.
Dressed as a rhino, Animashaun revealed he had beef with Attenborough after blaming the naturalist for his mother getting shot by poachers.

At which point Fouracres, reprising his role as Attenborough, ran onto the stage dressed in WWE-style spandex and began wrestling with Animashaun.
Quickly other castmates, also dressed as wild animals, joined in and Magliano and Young began commentating as though it were a wrestling match. "I've never seen anything like it on Weekend Update," the co-hosts marveled.

"Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham hosted the seventh and penultimate episode of "SNL U.K.," which wraps for the season next week.
In her opening monologue, she jokingly compared her hit Apple TV show "Ted Lasso" to "SNL U.K., saying: "Rich Americans working together, team spirit, and communal showers, yes, that was surprising and excellent."

She added: "Brett Goldstein is a very hairy man.
