Michael Che Says He Thought Colin Jost’s Joke-Swap Idea On ‘Weekend Update’ Was A Prank

etcanada.com:

Michael Che thinks everything is a prank. On Tuesday night, the star of Global’s “Saturday Night Live” appeared on “The Tonight Show”, and host Jimmy Fallon asked about joke swapping on “Weekend Update”.

As Fallon explained, Che and Jost will write jokes for each other, and then read off the jokes for the first time live on the air.

See, I’m paranoid, I think everything’s a prank.” With that in mind, Che wrote a lot of dicey, race-based jokes for Jost, only to discover there was no prank, and his co-star had written mostly tame jokes for him.
