• "Saturday Night Live" took aim at President Donald Trump's speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which ran for more than two hours and had no apparent central focus. 
• Trump told the audience he was going "off script" for the speech, the "crazier" moments of which were highlighted in the "Weekend Update" segment.
