April Fool's prank for SNL's Weekend Update host

Michael Che hits Colin Jost with a practical joke

Colin Jost was royally pranked by his Weekend Update co-host Michael Che last night.

Jost was apparently struggling on Saturday Night Live with all his topical gags about Donald Trump's indictment falling flat, while Che's were enthusiastically received.
