Michael Che Thought Colin Jost's Weekend Update Joke Swap Idea Was a Prank | The Tonight Show

[@AaMmack]

"I don't think she knows she's Scarlett Johansson" lmaoo

She’s really really not hot

[@imwatchinberniemac]

She could marry the rock

@@Neilleeds You're a -5 bro

[@LeoFan93]

Colin: Hey Michael, wanna write jokes for me? I'll write jokes for you! Michael: You are giving me too much power.

I love the dynamic when Colin and Michael are interviewed together. Clearly friends with no limits needed. You know what I mean if you have seen them play off each other.

[@patatofred9079]

Darth Sidious, "unlimited... POOOOOWER!!!"

[@ventureout92]

Jost: “I’m gonna get murdered.” and then reads the next joke like a trooper. That damn Michael Che.....

@@jontheroadagain I reported it to KZbin and they didn’t delete the post. 😡 You’re right though - not cool.

[@MrRayMac1963]

When Che says black folks love Colin. He is so right. The jokes are funny, and Colin’s discomfort makes them funnier and him even more endearing.

[@canaisyoung3601]

That's the name of his new show (That Damn Michael Che).

[@DavidLS1]

The punchline to Michael's Rosa Parks joke was "Uppity bus passenger day". Colin's response was, "You're going to get me killed."

[@BadCookWhoJudgesChefs]

Good thing he's married to a nearly 100 year old super hero who can protect him.

She's a clone. She'll be back in 2023 - 2024 and we'll see what happens when the Real Scarlett Johansson shows back up!! Bwahahah!!

[@PeterSedesse]

The best part of the joke swap is that Colin doesn't even need to read the joke, as soon as the picture comes up people starting laughing.

[@beatm6948]

The anticipation is what made it so much funnier

[@DonnaSnyder]

Michael Che is right about houses being spooky and noisy in a quiet way.

[@bckazee]

Man!!! My dad had a house built when i was a kid so that whole 1st year after we moved in whenever the house would settle i would dang near pee my pants...i was also a very anxious child lol🤗🤗

[@pinkrose5796]

I can relate to what he's saying! Have a main road closeby where I hear police, ambulance and fire trucks which is actually somewhat comforting ( at least they're close by).

[@PhilLesh69]

He's right about the New York city noise too. If you live there you don't realize you even hear it because it's a 24/7 din or rumble mixed with horns and sirens, thuds, and screeching metal sounds. If you visit you notice it. And I've been in a house in the woods miles from other sounds, too. Then you even notice the tiniest sounds that break the silence. Like a faucet dripping downstairs, or something.

[@zesty9815]

Che needs SNL's i-sleepPRO.

[@edakraz241]

My attic is constantly creacking lol

[@oldkitten8598]

I always thought he was intentionally giving him the most racist jokes he could think of. 😆 To know that he just thought the idea was a prank makes it even better.

Michael seems so uncomfortable. It’s like he’s not used to promoting his stuff and being the center of attention like this. I wish him the best with his new special.

[@steveneigut9412]

I think thats just his demeanor.

[@louishillegassiv]

Che was great, Fallon however was just moving through the motions of the pre-interview, and wasn't really helping the conversation flow at all

[@jeseramirez9852]

It’s that couch. Horrible couch, looks so uncomfortable

[@zleepytime4379]

@@louishillegassiv idk honestly he seems kinda drunk, could just be fallon

[@louishillegassiv]

@@zleepytime4379 very likely he was drunk, yeah. That's why I think he just stuck to the pre-interview and didn't even attempt to riff with Che. The most Fallon did was laugh and repeat what Che said. He was so unwilling to go outside of the pre-determined conversation that it was awkward to watch

[@dragoti1122]

MICHAEL CHE IS ONE HILARIOUS AND INTELLIGENT COMEDIAN!! 👏👏👏👍

[@S.Pociecha]

He is also quite a big man. I believe they use a bigger map on his side of the WU set to trick our eyes into not noticing how much bigger he is than Colin Jost.

[@KendraMoralez]

It’s just jimmy he has a weird dynamic with everyone.

[@Serai3]

@@____v143 I'm sorry, but I just don't get why so many people claim his laugh is "fake". It's no more "fake" than the laugh of lots of people I know. I'm sure somebody else would call your laugh "fake", too.

[@xoxfiftyytwo]

@@Serai3 I used to think his laugh seemed pretty forced too! But then I started watching a few clips of him with some guests who are genuinely funny (like John Mulaney lmao) during the covid lockdown when the studio audience wasn't present and I started to realize that he is genuinely very excited and happy to be there haha. I think he's always just sooo positive and high energy that it becomes misunderstood.

[@karenfreischlag6769]

[@jonathanmatthews8928]

Fallon comes across as just so dang fake. Takes it to laugh level 11 from the first moment.

[@Maximum_Goodness]

I’m only watching this for Michael Che. I can’t stand watching Fallon. Even though Nate Bargatze says Fallon is a great guy I can’t stand listening to him interviewing just like how he used to ruin almost any SNL skit he was in.

[@vovahimself]

I think that’s any person’s normal reaction given the way Fallon laughs.
