[@LexWick]

Absolute killer set. Every line was a banger. "Did you just call me a slave clown?"

[@TabethaAurochs]

"The best ability is availability" 🔥Che's stand up is always on point

[@patrickhofmann2046]

And I'm not allowed to see her again cause its bad luck is one of the most brilliant lines I've ever heard.

[@CreativeC13]

That whole bit was so good. Such wit!

[@vicjoseromero]

"Hey, little man what you doin' up here?" That thought will haunt me forever.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Great to see Michael che doing stand up again always fan right from SNL days he is hilarious his delivery , and punchline is awesome brilliant set.

[@ofthenearfuture]

What a tight 5, this was hilarious

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

*That set just put Che in the Elite category, nicely done - fresh*

[@Wizznilliam]

Shockingly good. Especially for a mainstream guy.

[@ayrmendina8314]

@@Wizznilliam I feel Che is alike to Norm on SNL. A comedian's comedian first, who knows how to toe the line with mainstream outlets. I think his SNL jokes speak for themselves on Weekend Update with how often he's trying to get the audience to groan at his jokes. He's an elite comedian.

[@cookiestheentertainerchann7907]

Great job!

[@justjustinin207]

And it was *exactly* 5 minutes. Perfection.

[@feedthesnake3394]

that was a legit set.

[@sharonshin4574]

Michael Che is hilarious. He had a lot of smart jokes. Love how you invited a SNL cast member for a stand up, Jimmy!!! Very clever!

[@famousgoldentouch]

Same Building ;)

[@manilkasheran2934]

This transcends comedy, it's straight up philosophical!

[@Catherinzsl]

Che is SO good. He's probably joking about running for President, but I'd vote for him. How about a Che-Jost ticket?!?

[@TheLordOfNothing]

Them and the LIBERAL MEDIA + the DEEP STATE would rule this god-birthing nation the US of A with an iron fist! Them and the DEMON RATS would DESTROY AMERICA WITH THEIR ILLEGAL GAYS and FREE ABORTIONS! I didn't mean a word of that, but did I give y'all a heart attack?

[@earlofcockgobblingshire3666]

I need Jost as the front-runner though. We need scarjo as first lady, she would be the best one

[@drink_4_nikolai]

Ive always said that celebrity presidential hopefuls are ridiculous and should never be an actually, legitimate choice, but Che saying he’s running was the first time I thought to myself “Hell yeah I’m voting for you!”

[@sameoldparadise]

‘He’s Probably joking’ 🤦‍♂️

[@5634TY]

That wedding/graduation analogy was on point.. weddings and honeymoons are the most fun you’re gonna have in your marriage lmaoo so why tf do they happen at the very beginning??🤣

It's all downhill from there

[@MrVovansim]

Because planning a wedding is a nightmare. If your relationship can survive that, it can survive anything. For the rest of your life, whenever you hit a rocky patch, you can remind your spouse: hey it's not that bad, remember how we made it through wedding planning? We can make it through this too.

[@hotloins22]

VOTE for Michael Che🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@savedmp3]

✍️💋🏄‍♀️

[@fattidiliberta]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@carlyoung6197]

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better five-minute set than this. Brilliance.

[@messybestie-d7i]

Even if I dont always laugh out loud at a comedy routine, I can appreciate the cleverness of a good joke. And there is always entertainment value in a good story.

[@aridpheonix]

master class for a 5 minute set

[@jcarterjoseph9066]

Every line a winner. He landed them all.

[@florsierra9591]

The backwards wedding joke was perfection! 😂😂😂😂

[@jonvandenplas5051]

Honestly it's Norm and Carlin level clever. One of the best new jokes i've heard in a long time

[@leannevandekew1996]

Well, it's late-night TV, so, Che wearing pajamas is relatable.

[@1midnightfish]

Thank you! I was trying so hard to make sense of his outfit, but even all my love for this man couldn't... quite... get me there 😂

[@leilaniaileenlove]

LMAO "I shall return" 😆😆😆

[@holizmoyombo4686]

To me, this was one of the greatest jokes I've ever heard, and the "I shall return" was an underrated line. I didnt even catch it on a casual listen, but it's brilliant

[@andrewlucas2362]

“Matters” is an underrated special. Che is hilarious.

[@jonnyd8399]

Slamming set!!! Nice Che, very nice... well put together and very well executed. Looking forward to more. Hope you see this.

[@StacySanseverino]

I loved the backwards wedding.

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

*That set just put Che in the Elite category, nicely done - fresh*

[@hangover-c_dals]

jimmy laughed his ass off in the back 😂

[@giorgiocosentino509]

One of the best I've seen of him. Crushed it!

[@elecbass100]

You know what, that's a great point about the wedding in the analogy. Lol! Especially being so costly depending how it's done. Could save for it and see maybe 2 or 3 years in, then have it, and if not, you have a stash of savings to split between you!

[@ComplexGodUK]

This was actually really good 👏🏽

[@savedmp3]

This was perfect

[@will16320]

Is this the guy who started a beef with Kendrick Lamar?

[@OhJustSomeRandomGuy]

Kendrick been real quiet since Che dared him to shoot his shot. Guess it's Che 1 - Tiny K Dot 0.

[@g-whiz3943]

It was a joke inside of a joke on SNL. In that skit, Colin Jost writes his jokes and Che writes Colin Jost's jokes. The point is to force them to say $h!t that they would NEVER day and is WILDLY inappropriate. So he didn't say what he said purposefully.

[@benaiahmhlanga8676]

I actually laughed, out loud. Many times.😮 That's become rare. Wow. I need the special now.

[@DrunkinCooking]

What was expected was met . Great job 👏

[@Mike-Abrams]

Che rules. I love that despite his high-profile SNL role he'll do a set (not just a sit-down) on Fallon, regularly work out at the Cellar, and guest on Legion of Skanks podcast with some of the most irreverent comics. He's a real one.

[@BreadAndButter187]

What an amazing set. Punch after punch. He killed it in such a short time. Loved it 🔥🔥

[@AJPickett]

Damn that was funny as hell.

[@Michael-m8y4i]

Challenge them both to a debate. One of them will bite because of the possible ratings... LMAO!!!

[@JenniferAgbazue]

Come on man, don't stop 😢😢😢 I could listen to this dude all day men ❤❤

[@lindabb621]

❤😂❤😂❤😂 THANKS CHE! Honesty is the best medicine. We could definitely use you as President!

[@moriancumersanchez1852]

This was a solid set. Very impressed 👌🏼👌🏼

[@dannyburleigh1]

WoW!! I've never seen him do STAND-UP Comedy! This was a very funny set! "I loved it! 🌟 🌟 🌟1/2!!

[@1midnightfish]

There's quite a bit of his standup on YT from years ago... but it's nice to hear the new stuff

[@celestialnubian]

His first Netflix special was really good. His last one was kinda meh. This makes me think he gearing up for a great one next time.

[@Dan-Simms]

Slay Che!

[@BlackHawk3927]

Ok I’m voting Michael Che

[@Tanuki.Express]

Is Che auditioning for Caddyshack 3? I died at the “by accident” bit.

[@JessicasMagicalTreasures]

I really needed this! Hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@delronmackay1473]

Which part was funny

[@DestroJJ]

A tight 5 of new material, Bravo Mike.

[@vcarter0723]

Micheal Che has requested wedding. Approved. Uh-oh, Micheal Che has played Uno Reverse Card!

[@charlenemack7040]

Michael Che, this was a funny set. I know funny when I hear it. I didn’t know that you do stand up but now I do. 😊

[@THESILVERNARUTO]

5 /6 minutes and he shows nothing but 🔥🔥🔥

[@stevinharper3551]

I miss weekend update but can watch his stand up

[@RUMBOYZ]

Genius set! Great set ups and delivery! GOAT 🐐

[@Positive_Tea]

Straight fire

[@megpenera5223]

😂LMAO ALWAYSSSS! THANK YOU @ Micheal Che!!! 🎉 I NEEDED THOSE LAUGHS! So on point!!

[@Kellybelleee]

I’d vote for him and ask him to be a donor too. 😂

[@NicoBlackwolf]

LOL!!! Gotta admit, this is the FUNNIEST Michael has EVER been! GREAT SET!!!!

[@patriciaa4451]

My ribs hurt from laughing the entire time

[@delronmackay1473]

U are lying

[@anellawrites]

I’d vote for Che in a heartbeat.

[@bellaendale7174]

Joke after joke each one was on point. Loved it 😂😂

[@the69fury]

He's more alert than our two choices

[@morrisparrish76]

That ain’t saying much!

[@MVinny24]

Man makes stand up look so easy, what a great set and what a legend, and definitely has my vote for President 😂

[@The-Truth-Bomb]

This is a very funny set but you can tell he's trying to very hard to keep clean and PG😂😂

[@1midnightfish]

Watching Che trying not to swear adds to the fun imo 😂

[@carlkennedy6959]

Wait .. Che’s got legs !! Never seen em !!!

[@sung-ahnchoi8952]

This 😂😂😂

[@Matt_with_2Ts]

That's why he is one of my gold standards!! Great 5 set!!

[@lorrie2878]

Love Michael Che! He's funny and very handsome!

[@jonvandenplas5051]

That reverse wedding joke is an all time great.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Great set. Che has had a few late night talk show sets now and he can tailor his act so that it can still be great w/o edgy words that may offend some viewers. I know some comedians of his kind may balk at the idea of having to water down their material but Che can retain a lot of the same essence of his act in talk shows as he can in comedy clubs.

[@1midnightfish]

Good point. I think that's because his material is GOOD regardless of the shock value.

[@Myron90]

Great job

[@jinroh516]

This is just pure wit!

[@whatupgangsta]

Awesome set!

[@Maliphresh]

"B4 me there was nothing" was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@77nizzova53]

VOTE FOR CHE!!!!

[@Cartier_specialist]

That backwards marriage joke is pure gold.

[@goldmother2238]

This was awesome!!!!

[@billybillz4443]

This was really funny

[@jodiramberg707]

Got my vote!!!

[@Fifthelement203]

Set was hilarious!

[@snoop2pooh316]

great set!!

[@barcelonachair6487]

That was perfect! Love Him.

[@delronmackay1473]

Where was the joke

[@delronmackay1473]

Where was the joke

[@axolotl8694]

there's some thought-provoking stuff in here. also funny as hell, multiple actual LOLs. I've enjoyed Che on SNL but hadn't seen any standup. more of a fan now. he's a force.

[@charlesoliver2535]

The reverse marriage had a "ghost of Dangerfield" nuance, loved it.

[@signore-solomonare1818]

4:28 This applies to everything when it comes to agreements

[@user-bm7uu5mm5n]

Love our Aunties!

[@warrenjoseph76]

Che killed it here…brilliant stuff

[@BlackKarnage]

I got stitches from the last bit😂

[@GaubaTube]

So good!

[@robertgandler3177]

Great stand up comedian!

[@ernestdaka4083]

This guy's a genius 😂😂😂😂

[@DougYeager]

This really good

[@chikamcvincent3415]

You can tell he misses weekend update 😂😂

[@jimmybenjamin3628]

That's a professional right there

[@holliday69]

Michael is awesome!!!

[@millenialsinfotech]

Amazing set!!!!

[@vincejupiter4749]

This man is hilarious 😂😂

[@duncan32158]

That was a ffffff 😂😂BANGER🎉🎉

[@mulaneyfangirl]

All buildings matter! ❤

[@1midnightfish]

That will never, ever get old.

[@SuperSuperballZ]

Outstanding

[@jeffreyhamilton3525]

Reverse wedding was great! Did anyone else notice though that Che is going gray?

[@yomamab9061]

Great set! You got my vote!😂

[@icaptureditforyou]

love this.

[@jamesgrannon2836]

That would be the dream ticket : Che and Jost in either order. They'd never get anything done but everybody would have a great time.

[@napow__9548]

This is just 10 out of 10 solid bits the God bit is insanely good. OMG

[@everythingiseverything9920]

He reminded me of Bernie Mac in his bit. 💗
