The Christmas episode of Saturday Night Live is known for its fun tradition: a joke swap between Colin Jost and Michael Che. But this year, things took an unexpected turn. Michael Che surprised Colin Jost by pulling off a prank. Jost was caught off guard. He said, \\"You told me we weren't doing this this year. . . and you know I didn't write any jokes for you. \\" Che just grinned and said, \\"Well, I guess you'll just have to read mine. \\"
Jost had no choice but to go along with it. He delivered Che's jokes, which included some sharp comments. The jokes covered topics like civil rights, the Catholic Church scandal, and even Jost's wife, Scarlett Johansson. The audience loved it, but Jost looked a bit annoyed.
This joke swap is a fun part of the show. It's a chance for the anchors to show off their humor and surprise each other. But this year, it turned into a playful prank. It's a reminder that even on live TV, surprises can happen.
The joke swap is a tradition that fans look forward to. It's a chance to see the anchors in a different light. But this year, it was more about the surprise than the jokes. It's a fun way to end the year on a light note.
