LaVar Ball is mighty full of himself, which makes the caricature of a man a perfect character for “SNL’s” “Weekend Update.”

On Thursday’s “Summer Edition” of the fake news program (not to be confused with a “fake-news” program), the father of Lonzo Ball boasted about his impressive attributes and abilities.

“I am 8-feet-tall, I can jump 20-feet-high,” Kenan Thompson’s LaVar Ball told host Colin Jost. “I once jumped over a Super Target. This past Thanksgiving, I ate 100 turkeys.”

He then broke out the new $495 Big Baller Brand sneakers, which are apparently “made out of South-African rhinosocerous horn.”

“They help you run faster, jump higher, and keep your willy hard as glass,” Thompson said.

Per faux-LaVar Ball, the kicks will also hand his NBA rookie son the regular season MVP Award, Finals MVP, an ESPY, a Grammy, a Purple Heart, and even Best Truck in his class from J.D. Power and Associates. Those empty guarantees led Jost to dub LaVar Ball “Black Trump.”

Yes, they're both black men. They're both on ABC's "Ten Days in the Valley." No, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is not Malcolm-Jamal Warner, lady. See what we mean here.

Dunno: How Much IMAX Tickets for "Inhumans" Will Cost
"Inhumans" will premiere Sept. 1 in IMAX theaters, though Marvel couldn't tell us how much tickets will cost. An IMAX spokesperson pointed us to exhibitors, who actually set the prices. Either way, a longer version of the same two episodes premieres Sept. 29 on ABC, and that's free for anyone with an antenna. You figure it out.

The "Inhumans" trailer got more guffaws than cheers when it debuted at Comic-Con, which can mostly be attributed to Medusa's terrible CGI wig. ABC and Marvel both say effects aren't finished yet, but we'll see about that.

Dunno: If Johnny Galecki Will Return for "Roseanne"
Pretty much the entire original cast of "Roseanne" is coming back for the continuation. The lone holdout is Johnny Galecki, who must be looking for that "Big Bang Theory" money. And ABC is looking for those ratings, John.

Learned: CBS Still CBS-ing
CBS' fall linear lineup contains no new female-led series, which by now feels like an annual criticism of America's Most-Watched Network. Plus, "Kevin Can Wait" is pretty much turning into "The King of Queens" by killing off Kevin James' current TV wife in favor of the old one, Leah Remini. The more things change...

Dunno: How Many People Think YouTube Red Is a Porn Site
YouPorn is a popular adult video hub website. So is RedTube. YouTube Red is not a pornography video channel, it’s YouTube’s ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) offering. That can get confusing, though to what extent, Susanne Daniels does not know.
