Che: Do you know who I am? Guy: Yeah you're Jay Pharaoh. Che has been defeated!

[@reghancutler9002]

😊

[@trevingaffney9187]

Fuck you! Che is the shit. He and Jay both are. Mad at him because he knows it. That was without a doubt the most revealing part of the video. He and Jay Pharroh are two completely different types of people, if their comedy wasn't different enough!

[@reghancutler9002]

Alright so a lot of these jokes were pretty damn good. But the audience size and sound quality made it seem like they fell flat.

[@Fifthcell]

Yeah. There’s only about 10-15 people in the audience, so that makes the jokes seem bad

I really like the feel of this segment, and the one at the DNC. They didn't script it out to the point that they knew exactly what each one was gonna say. And this might be Kate McKinnon's best RBG sketch.

Errr the weekend update format really doesn't work without a live audience. Even jokes that didn't bomb, fell flat without a crowd reaction.

[@colinmadden5235]

I agree... Also, with big crowds when the jokes do bomb they can generally recover by pointing out how bad they were.

[@audiotap8332]

the ghost writer of trumps book wrote an article about his experience doing so. he legitimately thinks that Trump may have not actually ever read a book. he also couldnt interview him because he couldnt tell a coherent story so he ended up following him around for a while and made a book out of that. not only those things, but Trump actually believes that HE wrote that book. the one that HE HIMSELF hired someone to do. tale that for what you will be *even* Hillary sounds better than that.
