Michael Che corrects reports that he is leaving Weekend Update. The acclaimed Saturday Night Live segment typically appears in the middle of each episode and mimics a traditional news report, featuring suited-up comedians as hilariously deadpan news anchors. Weekend Update parodies current events and often brings on other cast members or hosts as"guests" on the segment.
Manhattan-born comedian Che first joined SNL as a writer in 2013. In September 2014, he replaced cast member Cecily Strong to join Jost in hosting Weekend Update, where he reverently remained even after his promotion to a main cast member of SNL, and later, as head writer of the show. In 2021, Che's filmography expanded to include both an HBO series and a Netflix Special, respectively titled That Damn Michael Che and Michael Che: Shame The Devil.
The legacy of SNL's Weekend Update itself illuminates the true remarkability of Che's career and why news of his departure would spark such alarm - indeed, the comedian boasts the title of being the second-longest-running anchor on the longest-running segment of one the longest-running American television shows of all time. This triumphantly embellished title will surely follow the Saturday Night Live comedian illustriously wherever his career may take him.
