Michael Che Nearly Quit 'SNL' Over Colin Jost's Controversial Salsa Joke

The comedian revealed his frustration over a pun that aired during a 2015 'Weekend Update' segment, despite his threat to leave the show.

Michael Che recounted his anger over a joke made by Colin Jost during a recent podcast interview with Dana Carvey and David Spade.
The joke, which aired during the Season 40 finale in May 2015, involved a pun on 'jalapeño business' related to an Ohio stabbing incident.
Che threatened to quit 'Saturday Night Live' if Jost told the joke on air, but Jost proceeded, and the joke received significant laughter.
Jost admitted he was motivated to keep the joke because of Che's strong reaction, despite not being enthusiastic about it initially.
Che and Jost have been co-anchors on 'Weekend Update' since 2014 and are set to return for SNL's 50th season on September 28.
