Michael Che Names The 1 Colin Jost Joke That Was So Dangerous, It Made Him Need To Give up ‘SNL’ – The Boston Courier

Virtually a decade later, Michael Che remains to be somewhat heated over a joke Colin Jost wrote about salsa.

Final week, the “Weekend Update” cohosts had been interviewed by “Saturday Night Live” alums Dana Carvey and David Spade on their “Fly on the Wall” podcast.

About 10 minutes into the episode, Carvey requested if both Che or Jost had ever carried out or stated something throughout “Weekend Update” that made the opposite one say after it aired: “If you ever do that again, I’m going to kick [your] ass.”

Che had a knee-jerk response and instantly recalled his least favourite Jost joke.

“Yeah, I think ‘jalapeño business,’ I was pretty furious about that one,” Che stated of a pun Jost made that was a play on the phrase “all up in your business.”

“You were just upset that it worked so well,” Jost stated, defending his quip.

“I remember in run-through when you did it because I never heard it before,” Che recalled of the joke. “I don’t remember what the setup was, but the punchline was ‘jalapeño business.’ And I was like, ‘If you tell that joke on air, I’m leaving. I’m quitting the show.’”

“And he did it on air, and it destroyed,” Che admitted.

Jost stated that he wasn’t even that connected to the joke, however Che’s hatred for it made him wish to inform it dwell.

“I would have honestly cut it if it wasn’t so upsetting to you,” Jost instructed his coanchor. “And then I was like, ‘I’m definitely, definitely doing this.’”

Neither Jost nor Che remembered the setup for the joke, however in case you’re curious, in response to a number of retailers, it was this:

“Ohio police arrested a woman who allegedly stabbed her boyfriend for eating all of their salsa,” stated Jost. “Though you’d be angry, too, if your boyfriend was jalapeño business.”

Though Jost made the joke again in 2015, Che didn’t give up the present. We’re unsure why not — however we’d wish to assume it’s as a result of, regardless of one dangerous salsa joke, Che nonetheless values his friend-chip with Jost.
