SNL star Michael Che announces that he’s leaving Weekend Update
✖ Saturday Night Live star Michael Che is leaving"Weekend Update". Che made the announcement during a pop-up comedy show in Minneapolis. Che told audiences that this would be his last year at the desk for the popular segment, which he's co-anchored with Colin Jost since 2014. Che did not state exactly when or why he is leaving the segment during his remarks to the Minneapolis audience.
"This is my last year," Che said according to the Star Tribune ."You know my tie is a clip-on, right? What man wears a clip-on tie to work for eight years — that's embarrassing." In addition to co-anchoring"Weekend Update", Che is also a co-head writer for Saturday Night Live, a role he took on in 2017 when he became the first Black head co-writer in the show's history. It's unclear if Che is simply stepping down from"Weekend Update," if he will still appear on the show in other roles, if he will simply remain a writer, or if he is leaving Saturday Night Live entirely.
