Michael Che brought a provocative, street-smart edge to the ‘Weekend Update’ desk when he joined in 2014. As a co-anchor and co-head writer, his comedy is often confrontational, tackling issues of race and politics with a blunt and hilarious honesty. His ‘joke swaps’ with Colin Jost have become a beloved (by some) and often cringe-inducing tradition. Che’s stand-up comedian roots are always visible in his confident, laid-back delivery.
