Tracy Morgan delivers Destiny’s Child burn from Beyoncé’s womb on 'SNL'Tracy Morgan popped up on Saturday Night Live in the most unexpected of places: Beyoncé's womb.  Morgan surprised the audience during Queen Bey's (Sasheer Zamata) ultrasound, playing one of her unborn twins alongside Keenan Thompson.  SEE ALSO: Donald Trump has his day in 'The People's Court' on 'SNL' Morgan and Thompson traded quips about what a cool mom they must have. "I think she's important," Morgan said. "When people meet her, they scream, so she's either a beautiful queen or a goblin."  "Yo, our mama is Beyoncé, man!" the wiser Thompson explained. "Wow, I haven't even breathed yet and I know who Beyoncé is!"  Life is good for Beyoncé's twins. #SNL pic.twitter.com/71At22mXRW — Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) February 12, 2017 But even in utero, Morgan was able to deliver one of the most savage burns of the night in response to his brother's concern that carrying boisterous twin boys may be a burden.  "I heard she carried two full-grown ladies for 10 years named Michelle and Kelly," Morgan said, referring to former Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.  Gynaecologist Alec Baldwin may have said it best: "It may be too early to tell, but I think these babies came to slay."

Donald Trump has his day in 'The People's Court' on 'SNL'

Donald Trump has his day in 'The People's Court' on 'SNL'On Saturday Night Live , Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump made good on his — and his press secretary's — promise to see the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judges in court.  More specifically, The People's Court of television fame. SEE ALSO: Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway goes full 'Fatal Attraction' on 'SNL' Melissa McCarthy as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer assured the gathered press corps in SNL' s cold open that the president would be taking the fight over his seven-nation travel ban to the most reputable televised court in the land, and the show did not disappoint.  "Mr. Trump, you understand this is a TV court, right?" asked Cecily Strong as The People's Court judge.  "That's ok, I'm a TV president," Baldwin responded, in the only Trump impression reprisal of the evening.  He was as brash and sexist in his portrayal of America's 45th president as ever. "Thank you judge. Or, what do you call a lady judge? A flight attendant?" he quipped.  In an effort to gain favor, Trump called in a character witness. A member of the family, someone who knows him better than anyone else: Shirtless Vladimir Putin, of course. "He's my little American Happy Meal," Beck Bennett said, as the ever-topless Russian president.  But the judge was having none of it, and made one simple request of Trump: "I want one day without a CNN alert that scares the hell out of me," she said. Don't we all. BONUS: Ikea designed a refugee shelter and it lasts 6x longer than traditional emergency tents
