About Michael Che:
Named one of Rolling Stone’s 50 Funniest People, Michael Che is currently the co-anchor of SNL’s “Weekend Update” alongside Colin Jost, in addition to serving as one of the show’s head writers. His first hourlong comedy special, MICHAEL CHE MATTERS, was released in 2016 on Netflix. It hit #1 twice on the platform, first upon its initial release and then again in 2020. Che’s second special for Netflix MICHAEL CHE SHAME THE DEVIL taped at the Fox Theater in Oakland and was released in November 2021.
In 2021, Che debuted his own original HBO Max sketch comedy series, THAT DAMN MICHAEL CHE, which Michael stars in, wrote and executive produced. The show was picked up for a second season, which launched on May 26, 2022. Che has received two WGA Award nominations for his writing on both THAT DAMN MICHAEL CHE and SNL. He has also been nominated for multiple Emmys for his writing on SNL, and in 2018, he co-hosted NBC’s live Emmy Awards telecast alongside Jost. He and Colin also hosted a number of special edition episodes of “Weekend Update” on MSNBC during the 2016 Republican and Democratic national conventions.
Prior to his time on SNL, Michael was a correspondent on THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART and appeared alongside Chris Rock in the 2015 feature, TOP FIVE. When Che is not in front of the camera, he tours the world headlining live stand-up shows.
About Colin Jost:
Colin Jost serves as a head writer at Saturday Night Live, television’s longest running and most successful sketch and comedy show, now in its 48th season. Jost originally joined the show as a writer in 2005 and became a co-head writer in 2012. Jost has also co- anchored “Weekend Update” alongside fellow cast member Michael Che since 2014.
Jost has won five Writers Guild Awards, two Peabody Awards, and has been nominated for 12 Emmy Awards for his writing on SNL. Jost and Che hosted special editions of “Weekend Update” on MSNBC during the 2016 Republican and Democratic national conventions as well as the primetime “Weekend Update Summer Edition” in 2017. In 2018, they co-hosted the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards.
In 2015, Jost wrote “Staten Island Summer,” a coming-of-age comedy that was released by Paramount Pictures and produced by Lorne Michaels. Jost has since been seen in the films “How to Be Single,” “Coming 2 America,” and “Tom and Jerry.”
As a writer, Jost has been published multiple times in The New Yorker and has contributed to the New York Times Magazine and the Huffington Post, amongst others.
In July 2020, Jost debuted his memoir, A Very Punchable Face. The memoir is a series of essays, which documents pivotal moments in Jost’s life including growing up in Staten Island in a family of firefighters, commuting three hours a day to high school, attending Harvard while Facebook was created, and more. For every accomplishment and absurd moment, there is an honest, emotional one, told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation.
