Saturday Night Live honored President George HW Bush over the weekend.
At the end of Weekend Update, hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost switched to a serious tone as they acknowledged the death of America’s 41st president, sending thoughts and condolences to his family.
“President Bush was famously a very warm and gracious man who always understood the power in being able to laugh at yourself,” Jost said.
A collage of some of former SNL cast member Dana Carvey’s most memorable moments impersonating Bush played, followed by Bush’s appearance alongside Carvey on the show to lightheartedly critique the accuracy of his portrayal.

In addition to appearing with Dana Carvey, Bush later invited him to the White House.
The two became surprisingly fast friends, as Carvey attests in the video below.
