Michael Che and Colin Jost Recall Controversial SNL Joke
News summary

During a recent podcast interview, Michael Che disclosed that a particular joke by Colin Jost on Saturday Night Live's 'Weekend Update' left him so frustrated he nearly quit the show. The infamous joke, 'jalapeño business,' was delivered during the Season 40 finale in May 2015 and was a pun related to a news story about a woman stabbing her boyfriend over salsa. Che expressed his anger during rehearsals, stating, 'If you tell that joke on air, I'm leaving,' but Jost went ahead and performed it, leading to Che's frustration despite the audience's positive reaction. Jost acknowledged he was initially reluctant about the joke but was motivated by Che's reaction to keep it in the segment. Both comedians, who have co-anchored 'Weekend Update' for ten years, are set to return for SNL's 50th season on September 28. Their dynamic continues to evolve as they prepare for the milestone season.
