In fact, Che and Jost have been doing this version of “Weekend Update” for at least three seasons now and it’s something I look forward to every year.
I feel like that’s obvious if you actually watch the segment, but it’s never a bad idea to point this sort of thing out.
These jokes are supposed to be ill-advised and over the line.
In case you aren’t familiar with this bit, the point of “Weekend Update” around the holidays each year is so Michael Che and Colin Jost go “too far” with the jokes; that’s the bent of this version of their famous gig, which they call the “Joke Swap.”
