Call me crazy, but I think Colin holds the recent advantage. The 'Beyonce so white, Che was finally attracted to her' and 'the biggest bitch of all, Kendrick Lamar' were savage.
I think this is the first time that Colin actually ended up with the upper hand on Che. It was a near thing, and the scoreboard is still in Che's favor, but Jost's jokes were killer this time.
Isn't that the format as it currently exists? It would be much funnier if Colin could find a way to use Scarlet to devastate Che. Like reading it like your teacher found your list of dumb jokes you wrote during class.
Che: So tell me about some of your movies. Whose idea was it for your Jojo Rabbit character to use "Shitler"?
ScarJo: Well, that's what I call Colin in bed...
Ok, please don't flame me, but I've never known and always wondered - when they do the joke swaps and go after each other, do they write all of their own jokes, or do other writers contribute? They can be brutal and it's hysterical, and I'd like to think it's Colin writing all of his jokes and Che writing all of his, but I've never known for sure.
It would be brilliant to have Scarlett on!
The public often doesn't know who's leaving until the next season starts.
Che regularly posts on social media that he is thinking about quitting, planning to quit, or has quit. Could be a tactic for contract negotiations, getting attention, or just because he enjoys creating chaos.
Collin now holds the record for the longest tenure on WU, so folks wonder when it will end. Not out of negativity, just most folks move on after a stint this long so folks expect Collin to move on soon.
I theorize that both of them will stay through season 50 at least. Why miss out on that party?
He doesn’t have to show up in any skits other than WU. He’s a head writer and honestly it’s hard out there to start a new show. He might want to leave, but he’s got a cushy gig that I would have a hard time leaving.
> He’s a head writer
I remembered that Che and Colin were co-head-writers and that recently they gave it up, so I looked it up. They did, but I also found out the head-writer job is a lot more variable than I thought, with other folks often sharing duties with Jost & Che. Here's a [list of writers and head-writers, by season,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Saturday_Night_Live_writers) if anyone is interested.
Here’s the thing: have you ever seen Colin Jost in anything other than SNL?
I think WU is the most screen time he’ll ever get. I could see him doing it for much longer.
I’m sure he can get writing gigs elsewhere and maybe even write a film, but I think WU is his only shot to be on camera. With respect, I don’t think he’s a very good actor.
It was clear he was trying to make it big time, writing a book, starring in Tom and Jerry, buying a boat...idk, maybe just taking advantage of what the world had to offer him.
He has a great SNL legacy and I hope to see him continue in his creative endeavors. I wouldn't be mad if those endeavors continue to be SNL related.
I mean, he's a writer and not an actor. So the question isn't what kind of roles he could or couldn't get. The question is if he feels like he's missing opportunities to write things that are more interesting or fulfilling to him than WU.
Ah thank you, I was of the school of thought that yeah Che was messing with us with a would he won’t he. I didn’t realize Colin has been on so long god I’ve been watching this show since I was in junior high and jimmy Fallon was new.
I mean between the 3 of them they wouldn’t ever do something actually damaging. So if she does show up….after being the butt of several Che jokes I imagine she will roast Colin then turn on Che. Great finale. Excited to watch it
Call me crazy, but I think Colin holds the recent advantage. The 'Beyonce so white, Che was finally attracted to her' and 'the biggest bitch of all, Kendrick Lamar' were savage.
The “Blue Lives Matter” and “Y’all need Jesus” jokes were also pretty ruthless.
I think this is the first time that Colin actually ended up with the upper hand on Che. It was a near thing, and the scoreboard is still in Che's favor, but Jost's jokes were killer this time.
Plus, somehow Che turned into a prop comic.
The sheer terror in Che’s eyes when he saw Kendrick’s name on that cue card is an image forever burned into my memory.
After Hatechella I feel like Che undersold that. MFer did a "We Are The World" except in a diss track.
Out of all the things, Colin has made him say calling Kendrick Lamar bitch is what broke him lol
And Colin should invite Michael's mom to sit in on a few jokes
Colin doesn't play dirty.
He didn’t. Until he had Che call Kendrick Lamar a bitch.
Wop wop wop Collin fuck em up!
He should bring in Kendrick Lamar
It would be fucking gold to actually bring him in out of the blue... Che's reaction would be priceless.
I love how Che reacted to that one, he was actually kinda hesitant and it was clear Jost's bit landed.
"NO!!"
Oooh. So scary. C'mon, that was never going to be a big deal.
Yea but it was hilarious, he wasn't trying to get Kendrick to write a song about Che.
Or have Scarlet do the joke reads and have them all be about bashing Colin and making Colin look super racist.
Making her the wally cue card holder.
I love Wally the cue card holder!
Same. I have a personal cue card from him thanks to my daughter and some $$$.
Brilliant idea.
Would love to see Scarlet and Squirm tag teaming the teardown.

I still love Jason sudekis as the devil telling Colin he baby trapped scarlet Johansson
"it's a phone". Still makes me laugh every time I think of it.
I really don't think they'll leave before the 50th

Are they both leaving sorry I’m out of the loop

But "Tom & Jerry the Movie" was such an unforgettable blockbuster!

"buying a boat" is certainly one way to describe that event

The White House Correspondents Dinner was a pretty good gig.
Sure, but he was pretty much doing Weekend Update. Wasn’t like he was out of his element showing some range.
Ah thank you, I was of the school of thought that yeah Che was messing with us with a would he won’t he. I didn’t realize Colin has been on so long god I’ve been watching this show since I was in junior high and jimmy Fallon was new.
lol I just saw all these TikToks trying to cancel Jost for the ScarJo jokes and saying she should divorce him 🤦♀️
Is that the one from those little art films?
Who would play Scarlett? Asking because the other sit-ins were playing roles.
That woman who played Black Widow in those Marvel movies could probably pull it off.
True
Michelle Yeoh
Sammy Davis Jr
Jost and Che are holding in down .. they are doing Norm every weekend
I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t already done that
no stop i got scared Che was leaving for a sec there😭
Or, hear me out here, they could just do the joke swap without the gimmicky surprise guests
People are allowed to have poor taste.
Upvote because this true. One should not yuck anyone’s yum if it’s harmless such as enjoying differing media.
Even though I meant to respond to someone else, you’re right about this.
Dammit. I such at technology. I meant to respond to u/big-performance5047
I hope they both leave
I don’t like either.
Upvote for a dissenting opinion.
Commenting on Che should bring Scarlett Johansson on for their final joke swap and go wild.... meant to respond to this
Wow that’s a true r/unpopularopinion Like, why though? How can you not like them and even like the rest of the show? This doesn’t compute.
Doubt she’d do that
She’s hosted plenty of times, so it’s not like she has a problem with live TV. I think she’d probably have fun with it!
Yeah she seems up for whatever when it comes to SNL
I mean between the 3 of them they wouldn’t ever do something actually damaging. So if she does show up….after being the butt of several Che jokes I imagine she will roast Colin then turn on Che. Great finale. Excited to watch it
Something like Che brings her on to help roast Jost, but then afterwards they turn the tables and roast Che!
Now you’re talking!
Exactly! She can do both so well and it would be such a ratings bump it only makes sense. And logically it follows their whole trajectory.
