The “Weekend Update” news segment on NBC’s “SNL” this weekend featured cast member Seth Meyers reporting, “Reebok this week dropped hip hop artist Rick Ross as a spokesman after he failed to show remorse for lyrics in a new song that alludes to date rape, or maybe they just dropped him because someone finally realized they were using Rick Ross to sell athletic gear” (“SNL,” NBC, 4/13).

NBC’s Jay Leno: “Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has announced the creation of a diversity task force. He said it is time for baseball to let in players who are not on steroids” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 4/12).
