“Weekend Update” co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che have a history of embarrassing each other on live television. But typically, they are both in on the joke. But on this week’s April Fools’ Day episode of Saturday Night Live, Che took things to the next level.
The bit came during a joke that Jost was telling a series of jokes about the indictment of former President Donald Trump. “At this point, it seems like even pro-Trump people have moved on,” he said. “I mean, I went down to the courthouse today and I was the only protester there.”
That punchline was met with near-dead silence from the live crowd and a shout of, “You stink!” After a few seconds, as Jost buried his head in his hands, Che let out a laugh and revealed, “I told them not to laugh at you for April Fools’.”
