Watch Tina Fey Blast 'Donny John Trump,' Gorge On Cake
Charlottesville got you down? The always-brilliant Tina Fey has the answer.

"Saturday Night Live" and University of Virginia alumna Tina Fey was a surprise guest on Thursday night's "Weekend Update," where she struck a balance between goofy and poignant while decrying the recent ugliness on her beloved UVA campus in Charlottesville, Virginia. And she did it while stuffing her face with sheet cake.
Clad in a gray UVA sweatshirt, Fey, sitting at the SNL anchor desk she used to helm, next to current hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, ripped President Trump — or "Donny John," as she mockingly called him — for his now-infamous "many sides, many sides" remarks after the deadly violence in Charlottesville during a white nationalist rally last weekend.
Many Americans are feeling "anxious," she said, but urged people to, instead of protesting, "find a local business to support — maybe a Jewish-run bakery or an African-American-run bakery — order a cake with the American flag on it, and just eat it."

Instead of yelling at the Klan, she said, while stuffing fistfuls of cake into her mouth, "Yell it into the cake."
"'Sheetcaking' is a grassroots movement. Most of the women I know have been doing it once a week since the election," she said.
