There’s no guarantee SNL would spin off Weekend Update for good, but might Jost and Che be better served with a half-hour to themselves?
It made sense of SNL stars Colin Jost and Michael Che to take Weekend Update out on the road for the election conventions, but now that we have a longer investment in political commentary, is it time to spin off the bit altogether?
That’s the word on the street, as NBC is reportedly considering a primetime Weekend Update.
Politico reports that NBC has begun talks to air a half-hour primetime version of Weekend Update, potentially airing on Thursdays this fall.
