As someone whose favorite SNL sketch is “Weekend Update,” I can totally see why Jost feels the way he does.
If you’ve never seen the hilarious tradition, I definitely recommend checking out the highlights on the official Saturday Night Live YouTube account or streaming full episodes on Peacock with an active subscription.
Since its inception, the sketch has seen two cast members serve as anchors, delivering jokes about trending news while putting their unique spin on things.
For current hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che that means occasionally writing jokes for each other that they read for the first time live on air.
