Michael Che Reveals Colin Jost's 'SNL' Joke That Nearly Made Him Quit

The 'Weekend Update' cohosts recall a contentious salsa pun during a recent podcast interview with Dana Carvey and David Spade.

  • Michael Che and Colin Jost discussed their most memorable 'Weekend Update' moments on the 'Fly on the Wall' podcast.
  • Che cited a 2015 joke about salsa, where Jost used the pun 'jalapeño business,' as the one that almost made him quit 'SNL'.
  • Despite Che's strong opposition, Jost decided to perform the joke live, which ended up being well-received by the audience.
  • Jost admitted he was motivated to keep the joke because of Che's intense reaction during the run-through.
  • The duo continues to work together on 'SNL' and recently premiered their own show, 'New York After Dark,' on Peacock.
