During last night’s “Weekend Update Thursday” on NBC, a portion of the show was devoted to poking fun at John King’s touchscreen map, with the on-screen “anchor” using his hands to randomly scramble states and make Michigan “bounce” up and down.

CNN later played back the segment during AC360 with John King appearing live next to the clip.
