Michael Che and Colin Jost Review Their Rejected SNL Sketches

[@ernest747]

you just wanna get physical with him, just don't have the courage to admit it

[@kabztunes]

His special on Netflix was really good. He's a funny dude he deserves it. The Thor killing an unarmed black teenager would've been the best

The screw the pooch idea is great

Heroin AM is one of my favourite sketches!!

[@brandonmatthews4934]

Julia Crosswell madtv did that years ago

[@christopherkotsopoulos701]

Why did he bring it up in a convo about rejected sketches

[@holycrapchris]

Yes, it did air (season 41), but it got some blowback www.cnn.com/2016/04/18/health/saturday-night-live-heroin-skit-outrage/index.html

[@PoopyDoopy39]

Chris Kotsopoulos - it got a bad reception, so he probably confused it with being rejected

[@beatnikmary]

Yeah, that was Julia Louis Dreyfuss, wasn't it?

[@TheReal7Bit]

That Thor avengers sketch could've been fucking hysterical.

The one about the black man who booed Jackie Robinson ended up airing (season 45 episode hosted by John Mulaney). Must have took a lot of convincing.

the funniest part about this comment is that you look like an intern

[@blackfox51]

I love that “screwed the pooch” bit that Michael Che did during his comedy special. Hopefully it shows up as a sketch like Mikey Day’s Tournament Fighter sketch.

[@ayjaybay93]

blackfox51 ah that’s why it sounded familiar. When he was describing it I felt like I’d heard it explained that way before... it could’ve been a funny sketch

[@clarkb5137]

Yeah one of my fav parts of his special

[@jesse_cole]

SNL should have included these. They really screwed the pooch on these skits.

[@i-cgroup6443]

What was that?

[@NoUploadJustComment]

These are all excellent sketch ideas. Its a bummer they won't let them do most of them.

[@DreamStepper]

Likely due to the amount of people that would need to be involved.

[@Tan87ful]

Yep lol

[@claudiaezinicki453]

DreamStepper as!

[@hhll9294]

They did heroin am

[@bernlin2000]

These guys are too edgy for SNL, but I'm glad they're there, just to keep the show on its toes

Seth’s andy samberg impression at 6:21 was weirdly good

I'd like to see that sketch with Tom Hanks 👍👍

[@Wangsters]

"Thor accidentally killed an unarmed black teen" OMG, that sketch would've been AWESOME!

[@mars_mayday]

It would have been great promotion for Civil War, because Team Iron Man was all about accepting more responsibility for their actions and being more cautious. RDJ could have come in the last ten seconds of the sketch and yelled out "TOLD YA!" lol

[@kareemsashyknees2576]

Why this comment sound a bit too excited😂

[@simretsekhon586]

It's crazy how demanding and difficult a writer's job is, coming up with original ideas week after week and I feel like they don't even get the credit for it when we're watching sketches

[@jpm199]

They get paid

[@kurtsudheim825]

Writers never get credit, but these guys certainly get debit. At last being based a lit in news & politics, a lit if the stiff is reactionary, but that can also throw a spanner in the works

Viagra Al Dente is the best pitch I've ever heard. I was really happy when Heroin AM got made. I also would have loved that bit with Andy Samberg.

[@THB192]

Funnily enough, CollegeHumor did a version of the Viagra sketch.

[@godlygamer911]

The thor thing would have been the greatest skit of all time.

[@technowey]

Weekend Update is the best most consistent act in SNL today and these two guys have been killing with comedy. I understand why censors have fear - but it's good these guys don't. The week where Clive Bundy was in the news for saying that black people had it better when they were slaves, Leslie Jones did a satirical sketch about that, and some black people who apparently missed the news that week took her comments seriously and attacked her online. Censors operate out of fear - comic actors operate out of freedom and courage.

[@ericynot]

I've watched SNL since it premiered in 1975 - back before I became a relic - and I still watch it most weekends. But the regular sketches can be hit or miss and the music is sort of not my thing anymore (which proves I'm a relic), but I try real hard not to miss Weekend Update. It's always been good, from Chevy Chase to Norm McDonald to Dennis Miller and all the other twisted, socially questionable anchors over the years. Jost and Che continue in the great tradition of making me laugh until I start coughing like I have Covid (yet another hazard of relicosity). Not everything they do is comedy gold, but most of it hits the sweet spot.
