Forward of SNL’s Season 50 finale, hypothesis ran rampant that it might be Colin Jost and Michael Che’s closing flip as Weekend Replace hosts. Whereas the duo by no means outright confirmed the rumors throughout Saturday’s episode, in the event that they do certainly show true, the duo went out with a bang — delivering an epic closing Joke Swap that included a cameo from Jost’s spouse (and the evening’s host), Scarlett Johansson.
Che received just a few early licks on Jost, forcing him to learn jokes about Black cleaning soap operas and Kendrick Lamar’s Tremendous Bowl Halftime efficiency. However after years of Che making jokes at Johansson’s expense, Jost lastly received the final chortle when his spouse wheeled as much as the anchor desk and compelled Che to learn a prolonged, groveling apology on to her face. Not accomplished, nonetheless, Che tried one closing try and get Jost to say the N-word with a joke in regards to the son of Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Nick Kerr.
If this actually was Jost and Che’s closing stint as Weekend Replace anchors, it definitely lived as much as the hype. Jost appeared extra emotional than Che all through the section, although it was Che who embraced Jost as Replace got here to a detailed. If that is the tip, it marks the conclusion of probably the most profitable Weekend Replace eras in SNL’s 50-year historical past — a run that started again in 2014.
