‘SNL’ Weekend Update Reintroduces Joke Swaps for Season 50 Finale

Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update closed the 50th season with its relatively newfound tradition: Hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost trading jokes. If you’ve never seen the bit, it’s both funny and wildly uncomfortable. Che typically forces Jost, who looks like the white villain in an ’80s skiing movie, to tell jokes about Black people. Jost, in turn, typically tries to make Che uncomfortable, too. This joke swap was especially personal, however, as Jost took the opportunity to let his wife, host and actress Scarlett Johansson, exact some playful revenge on Che. It’s definitely a memorable Weekend Update exchange.
