Saturday Night Live is back at it again �?and this time, they’ve set their comedic sights on none other than NFL legend Bill Belichick.
During the latest Weekend Update segment, co-anchor Michael Che didn’t hold back as he cracked a joke about the ongoing student loan crisis. Referring to a recent U.S. appeals court ruling that blocked a student debt relief plan, Che delivered the zinger.

The Epic Roast: "The only way for young people to pay off their student loans is by dating Bill Belichick"

Yep �?SNL just went there.

So, why the roast? The joke was a not-so-subtle reference to Belichick's relationship with Jordon Hudson �?a 24-year-old former cheerleader. The 72-year-old former New England Patriots coach made headlines earlier this year when news of his romance with Hudson went public, sparking plenty of conversation about their nearly 50-year age gap.

SNL didn’t miss a beat, tying the relationship to the student loan drama in the most hilariously savage way possible. Essentially, the joke painted Belichick as the unexpected “solution�?for young people struggling to pay off their debts �?and the internet absolutely ate it up.

Social media's wild reaction

As expected, the moment went viral almost instantly. Clips of the joke flooded Twitter (or X), with users reacting to SNL’s boldness. One user wrote:
“Bill is the new Leo�?/span>

Referring to Leonardo Di Caprio as he was famously known for dating girls only before 25 years of age.
Another low blow:
�?span class="em " data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)">Bill catching strays�?br/>

It seems the joke struck a nerve �?and a funny bone �?with fans who were both shocked and entertained by the cheeky dig.

Bill Belichick stays silent �?for now

Of course, Belichick himself hasn’t responded to the SNL moment �?but that's not surprising. Known for his no-nonsense attitude and famously dry press conferences, it’s hard to imagine the legendary coach clapping back at a comedy sketch.

Still, with his personal life becoming unexpected headline material, it seems Belichick’s off-the-field moves are drawing just as much attention as his game-day strategies.
SNL has always had a knack for poking fun at public figures, and this time was no different. Their latest shot at Belichick added a fresh (and hilarious) twist to both the student loan crisis and the coach’s headline-making love life.
Whether you found it hilarious or jaw-dropping, one thing's for sure �?this joke tackled more than just football.
