Michael Che Warned Colin Jost About One ‘SNL’ Punchline and Said ‘If You Tell That Joke on Air, I’m Quitting the Show’; the Joke Then Became a Hit: ‘I Was Furious’
Michael Che warned Colin Jost that he would leave "Saturday Night Life" if Jost made one joke about salsa. Jost did, and the audience loved it.
Michael Che said during a recent interview on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast(via The Daily Beast) that one “Weekend Update” joke involving salsa nearly led him to quit the show. The punchline in question revolved around a joke Jost told in relation to a 2015 incident in which a woman attacked her boyfriend with a pan several times because he ate a tub of salsa they were supposed to share. Despite being frustrated, Che stayed with “ Saturday Night Live ” and is set to once again anchor the “Weekend Update” segment alongside Jost when “SNL” returns for its 50th anniversary season this fall.
