Jost has upped his game this year, but strategically placing a civil rights activist right next to him is an evergreen reminder that Che is a savage.
The *entire* crowd felt that.
I cry-laughed at this whole segment. 🤣
Do you think Jost knew about it or was it a complete surprise?
Yea I agree 😅. Colin probably edged him out on the jokes this time. Che breaking out one of the mothers of the Movement was just next level 😂.
@@vinndiggs2880that wasn’t really her but I don’t know if Colin knew that either lol
The panic rising in Che’s voice as he read the words “turmoil in the Middle East” was absolutely hilarious
TOO SOON 😂😂😂😂
I think jost won this round purely for that exact moment
His whole career flashed before his eyes lmao
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5No.
Do all the "haha" black people jokes you like they seem edgy but a bad Jew joke WILL get your ass fired, remember who signs your checks.
This is even funnier when you realize Hattie Davis isn't a real person. She's an actress named Daphne Skeeter. So Che not only successfully trolled Jost, he trolled the entire audience, who bought right into it. I don't know how they will ever top this.
Naming her “Hattie” is just icing on the cake.
I fell for it😂
Bro I went months thinking she was a real activist.
@@brandonmiller8377so did I 😂
Wow that's craaaazy
Colin's last joke for Che was probably the best one he's ever gotten him with 😂 😂 😂
By far!!!
"...and people can find you on Instagram?" 🤣🤣
Che's face while reading it said it all! Colin wasn't messing around this year. That was a solid duel.😂
I still prefer the “Blue lives matter even more” joke during the George Floyd protests.
@@danzam40 Che not knowing where it was going and then giggling during the Blue Lives punch line is definitely in the Top 5.
This is the first time Jost almost got the best of Che. That Jesus joke was fantastic.
right! and then che brought it right back to jost writing it. Che truly is the king of joke swap
I absolutely LOST it when he talked about the Middle East cause I was like "where is this going to go without getting Che cancelled" 💀
He did it before on the season 46 finale joke swap, but still lost. But hey, that just means that, if ever the day should come that one or both of them leaves SNL, Jost will finally get his revenge.
Just Che's reaction when he read the "especially given the situation in the Middle East right now" part -- it's like he knew he'd stepped on the land mine and it was going to go off as soon as he lifted his foot, but he just couldn't stop walking.
@@meganf1213 The Black Widow joke was brutal. I choked on my drink when he hit the punch line.
The fear in Michael’s voice when he read “turmoil in the Middle East?!” 😂 That man’s voice went up two octaves
Maybe a pair of low-rise pants would have helped!
So good.
that joke was brutal
And the way his eyebrows raised as he was reading "middle east" lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
this is by FAR the best Colin has ever done. He stepped up in a way I didn't know he could.
About time Colin won a round!
Agreed
Che was so uncomfortable lol. This one was so good.
"...Muslims and Jews, y'all need Jesus". That moment needed a 60s Batman style "POW!" overlaying the screen.
Agreed that was his best ever, but Che Rigged the game with Hadie Davis
That last joke about Coretta Scott King / Black Widow was BRUTAL 😂😂😂
What is the context for that joke !?
That was the definition of Savage. That felt like genuine disgust from the Dr Davis 😂
@@JamietheroadrunnerThat’s not the joke. The joke is that Scarlett Johansson plays a character named Black Widow, and the late Coretta Scott King was the wife of Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated. Which made her a literal “black widow.”
@@kinggoldark3853 hahaha!! I see now 🤣
@@Jamietheroadrunner the joke literally had nothing to do with it lol
Welcome back to “Colin and Michael Try to End Each Other’s Careers”
Ayy wsg Mr. Otamatone
When Hattie Davis refuses to give Colin a fist bump. Ouch. 😅
I think it's more like "Colin and Michael Try to Get Each Other Murdered".
Colin kind of went hard on Micheal Che this year especially with the Middle East comments 💀
Its my favorite part
This is the year Colin finally found his claws for this segment! First time I've ever seen Michael genuinely panicked reading one of his jokes 😂
Unfortunately Michael had already checkmated him from the get-go lol
@@Enrique-Garcia Nah but then Colin turned it around on him with the Beyonce joke!
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 Allahu Akbar!
Colin finally won a round hahah, he got Che this time
Who's the God of Hope? I didn't peg you for a polytheist@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5
I think we can all agree Colin really put his back into it this year. The "Y'all need Jesus" joke was absolutely freaking legendary. Lmao
Almost blacked out laughing at this 😂, best part of SNL.
I cried I laughed so hard, totally nailed it!
lol I love how freaked out Che’s voice gets when he says “especially with the turmoil in the Middle East right now” 🤣
That's the best part! :D
Everyone is talking about the fist bump. But that nervous “hi” from Colin at the start was absolutely perfect. He was basically saying sorry before he said anything 😂
Yes!!!😮😊
....& Colin went for a handshake at the end....but she refuzed that, too..... 🙂😁🙂
@@jamesjimowen because she was insulted!
@FrancineCampbell-Hakim .....I'm awair she wuz insulted!..... .....That's Y Che placed hur there..... .....tu make Jost's jokes look even morr insensitivv..... .....How du yu NOT git that?.....🤔🤨.....
@@jamesjimowenthey're just one of the few ppl who watched this and instead of laughing- got offended
It was genuinely refreshing to watch Mike Che in distress reading Colin's jokes 😂😂😂 Love'em both.
Che wun the "racist joke battle".... ....but, he cheetid.... ....he placed an elderly African-American Civil Rights Activist beside Colin....🙂😁🙂
He hadn’t even seen the punchline to the Middle East setup yet, and he was already terror laughing.
But what about the legendary civil rights professor and humanitarian… why was she brought on to bear witness to grown men making jokes about such insensitive racial jokes….
@@FrancineCampbell-HakimGood news, Hattie Davis isn't a real person but a character made for this skit and the woman who sat next to Colin is an actor 😆😆
@FrancineCampbell-Hakim ....beekuzz the jokes that Che rote for Jost, tu read aloud, wurr insensitivv tu African-Americanz.... & having an African-American Civil Rights Activist sitting next tu him, while he red them, made Jost look exponentially morr insensitivv.....
The "am I right??" and the fist bump was genius. 😂😂
It's hard to hear, but Che actually congratulates Jost on the "Yall need Jesus" joke at 3:24. Game recognizes game.
Amen
Good catch!
Where?
he just says “ok colin”
No, he said "OK Colin"
I don't think I've ever seen Che struggle to get through a joke swap joke more than he did with that Jackson one. Colin finally got him good. 🤣😂
And the middle east and Jesus one 😂💀
That whole paragraph was sheer comedic gold just because of Ches facial reactions
The Middle East joke was worse lol.
I laughed so much when they cut back to jost and he had a very evil grin. It really closed the joke. I still think Che won, he’s just on another level with this. To have the civil rights activist setting next to jost was just brilliant.
That was hysterical! 😆
When Che said “turmoil in the Middle East right now” he realized how Colin felt every time he had to say a racist joke 😂😂😂
That is exactly the look I saw too!
Got me when he said they can find you on instagram 😂😂
I actually didn't get the connection to Che having to mention the Middle East. I don't watch their news too often so the inside joke is lost on me tbh.
@@sanfranman4919 he thought Colin was going to make him say an insensitive joke about the Israel/Gaza situation
@@stevenestime7664 same 🤣🤣
These two have to be the best casting for this segment. Please give them what they want and keep them on forever!
Agreed. When they were first introduced all those years ago I wasn't thrilled. I love Seth and Amy as well as Tina and Amy. But man, their comedic chemistry is probably one of the best I have seen
Che is a good writer but terrible at his job imo. He half laughs through every joke he reads and ruins it. He has no timing.
For sure. They're the only funny thing on SNL. For decades now.
@@bpal7006he’s terrible in general. He doesn’t come up with his own ideas (ie. he steals them) and he’s a racist misogynist.
Let's keep Jost, and replace Che with Veronda
“Michael is amazing but the kids are not believable at all” that took me out 😂😂😂
Jost finally gave Che a taste of his own medicine, but that Black Widow joke was savage!
Thank u

He sleeping on the couch for a while after that one😂
I can see Scarlett nevering letting Che forget he had Colin read that…😂🤣🤣🤣
This was one of the WILDEST joke swaps they’ve ever done, so glad they upped the stakes 😂😂😂
And the next one might be the Last, so I hope they go all out
Yo that was the literal funniest thing i've ever seen ever... Somebody somebody mentioned Saturday night live in the same sentence with South Park earlier today. Something I was watching and, I really had to think about it... I don't have to think about it anymore.... This this is like This is like the first time I saw richard pryor... Is or dave chappelle...

Way too short. 😁
@@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesusno no you mean /s. See, where you’re talking about fictional characters like gods, Jesus, etc, use the /s for sarcasm as in “LOL all these make believe characters based on poorly written fiction like the bible etc…”

@@PROVOCATEURSK what kind of red flag are we talking about? 🤨
red flags work when you still want to mount your pole to fly it. snl did have a nice skit on Red Flag perfume, tho...
That nervous "HI" from Jost was hilarious. They should joke swap every episode.
I enjoy them; they're hands down my favorite segment. But I think they're even more special because of how rarely they do it.
Che's sheer panic-induced octave change as he said "with all the turmoil in the Middle East right now" was pure gold.
His career is over…
Oh wow...wow...WOW... Lol
Ms. Hattie played into her role very well. Even after it was over, when Colin reached out to shake his hand, she side-eyed it! 🤣🤣🤣

Man. I lost my mom two days ago and I saw this last night for the first time. and for five minutes, I completely forgot about it. I haven’t laughed this hard in a LONG TIME. This is great 😂😂😂
I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. How are you holding up?
Humor helps a lot ❤. Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢
My condolences!
Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers
You can really appreciate how reserved the writing staff is told they have to be. SNL should be way more like this each weekend.
Don't blame SNL, blame the social climate we live in. Like, people keep trying to cancel Dave Chappelle every other week for his jokes even though the man's style of comedy has been consistent for the past 20+ years. He pokes fun at everyone. Male, female, black, white, Asian, Mexican, gay, straight, trans, rich, poor, disabled, democratic, republican. No race, religion, political party etc. etc. is off limits and not even his own wife gets a free pass from being used as a punch line. It's so annoying how people try to police comedians and have no understanding of what a joke is nowadays.
@@nissan_skylineit has not been consistent and I love Dave Chappelle 😂
Props to Hattie for staying in character at the end and refusing to shake Colin's hand while pulling back in disgust, that was gangsta.
Here's the best part; There's no such person as "Hattie Davis" lmao Che straight up invented a fake social justice icon and presumably got an actress to come in and play her just to torture Colin.
This is second hand information (someone said that someone said) she's been an extra in earlier seasons. So I assume she must be snl staff. Jost must have known she wasn't a "real person". I haven't fact checked this
@@anthonyfabel8463 Official: Found a Newsweek Article online where it is confirmed Che invented Dr. Hattie Davis! No word yet on who the Lady actually is.
@@Wolf6119 I know! Right!?! Actually looked her up, because I was so ashamed I had not heard of her!
She had one job. NAILED IT!
It's a crime that this is only once a year. They bring out the best in each other with this segment.
They actually do this twice a year (one Christmas,one summer), but seasons 47 and 48 didn't have them due to Omicron variant COVID counts rising (the first one), Aidy Bryant and Pete Davidson saying goodbye to the show (second one), Cecily Strong saying goodbye to the show (third one), and season 48 ending prematurely because of the WGA strike (fourth one).
If you're talking about joke swapping, they do it every episode. It's just not the centerpiece like it is in this episode.
They did a summer Weekend Update series a while back.
@@guitarheel99 no???
You have once used that word "best." I do not think it means what you think it means.
The fact that Collin knew what was going on the second Hattie came on was pure gold. You could see the look in his eyes 😂
I could watch an entire episode of these two just riffing on each other and trying to make each other crack. Their chemistry is top notch.
Che was really impressed with the “ Y’all need Jesus “ First time I saw him worried with where the next line was going on the cue card 😂
Did y'all catch the Amen from Hattie Davis?
I didn't until I saw this and It made everything better, thanks@@shrisheel
It was nice to see Colin finally get him good with one. Michael usually absolutely dominates
I actually like that they only do this once or twice a year. This segment is so great because they don’t wear it out
Actually, I think they did it once or twice earlier this year
@@DrAndyShickwhat happened was Michael told the crowd not to laugh at any of Colin's jokes, which was slightly more savage. They haven't done a joke swap in a few years now.
They _have_ been doing joke swaps all year long. They confirmed this in an interview. They don't formally tell *us* that's what they are doing, but they surprise each other. Usually, you can tell because Colin's reaction is hilarious. 😆 🤣
It’s been their first Christmas Joke Swap since 2019!
@@virgilhodgesjr1524Correct, it was their first proper joke swap segment since the 2021 season finale
The best one yet. Jost’s jokes for Che were actually savage 😂
Jost has hit is 'Stride'. He caught up with Che😢😂.
I don't want either of them to ever leave because this is always hilarious 😂
What’s amazing is that Che said “c’mon, she marched with Dr. King” knowing that Colin was going to finish with that black widow Coretta Scott King joke
Best weekend update by a mile! Che really went above and beyond with the surprise guest, but Colin's "y'all need Jesus" was pretty brutal.
his wife and child are Jewish so it wasn't that serious lol
@@molls127 /woosh or something like that lol
@@DFI429it's r/woosh
"and people can find you on Instagram?"
Holy hell a better black widow than Coretta Scott King. That one hurt me that's going down as one of the most brutal joke swaps in history feel like we'll be talking about that one for the next decade I actually squirmed after hearing it
I love how at the end Colin reaches out to her and she totally rejects his handshake 🤣
Cause she was an actress playing her part. 😊
It was a fistbump, not handshake.
@@billbobaggins1693 I should have clarified, right at the end of the video he goes in to shake her hand and she’s like “nope”
@@junglemutt8022 You realized that fist bump was part of the joke Che wrote for Jost, right?
@smurfday You realized I was referring to the part at the very end of the video Collin goes in to shake her hand and she pulls away, right?
I never thought Che could make it any more uncomfortable for Jost and yet here we are 😂😂😂
More like the other way around with Jost's 'y'all need Jesus' quip lol
They BOTH make me cringe in a GREAT way!😅
He called in reinforcement! Jost was soooooooo uncomfy!
The attempt to fist bump the Activist had me laughing way too hard!! 😆 🤣 😂
"the woman's an activist, Colin." "The woman marched with King" Lmfao that was Brutal. Well done to both Che and Colin.
YES! I thought those were two standouts too! And you, since she wasn't really, he laid it on good and thick just to make Colin squirm... Art movies? LOL!!!!!
Best part is that was also a joke. She's Daphne Skeeter, and most definitely not an activist. 😂
Ive watched SNL from its very first show, i was in 9th grade, and i believe these two doing the joke swaps is arguably the best comedy SNL has ever put out.
It's too hard for me to compare eras anymore but this whole recurring bit has definitely earned a spot in the SNL Hall of Fame.
@@dlh7989 there has bern some seriously funny skits and such on there over the years, as well as some great Weekend Update hosts, but these two consistently nail it when the do their joke swop.
The way ches voice rises while reading "with all the turnoil in the middle east right now"... Jost finally got the better of che
For those like myself who were fooled, Hattie Davis was a fictional character brought out by Che as part of a prank on Jost. So, all of her offended looks were part of the act and, the fact that she was billed as a poet and activist made his squirming all the funnier. As much as I love the other joke swaps (the 3-part "Black Superman" jokes were brilliant), this one was easily their best and funniest set. It is truly the best Christmas gift those two men can give to us!
I was genuinely curious "who is this woman? I want to know more," and looking it up to see Che trolled all of us I was like "aaaaah he got me good!"
@@jaydoggy9043oh, a woman, I thought it was someone wearing an African tribal mask. Damn
I beg to differ… I found the r whole episode in poor taste!… actress or freedom fighter, either way…👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
@@FrancineCampbell-Hakim, obviously, opinions will defer. For me, the humor came not so much from the jokes (which were intentionally racially insensitive) but from Michael Che's "offended" reactions (knowing full well that HE was the one who wrote those) along with Colin's increasingly uncomfortable reactions. That's been part and parcel of these joke swaps what makes them so funny -- two men who are friends intentionally trying to make the other one as uncomfortable as possible on camera. Usually Che gets the better of the two by getting Jost to say racist things such as one time where the joke "Today was Rosa Parks Day or, as we call it in my house, 'Uppity Black Person Day'" but Jost got Che back with the line "whether you're Muslim or Jewish, you all need Jesus in your life!". Once again, it's how much we got to see Che squirm saying that that made it funny.
Hattie Davis was played by an actress named Daphne Skeeter. Had me fooled until I looked it up...
It's no surprise that Che triumphed again, but the way his voice breaks during the MJ joke and especially when reading 'the turmoil in the Middle East right now' was priceless. GG Colin.
Colin really upped his game this time around. It was great seeing Che truly uncomfortable for once.
Y'all need Jesus.
Yea feel like he could’ve won but the civil rights activist and icon was devastating
This is BY FAR... the BEST THING about SNL... these two are soooooooo funny
Colin landed some real haymakers this time.
Colin finally went all out in this one and got Che to actually feel like he shouldn't have read those jokes. I would have awarded the swap to him this year....If it weren't for Che bringing in the activist to sit right next to Jost. I loved how the moment she came out Jost knew he was absolutely screwed.
She isn’t really an activist, but she sure does look like one, lmao. Her makeup, hair, and outfit are on point.
@@belleslettres354 I saw some statements like that, but wasn't totally sure (it is the internet after all). I figured I would play it safe. But Michael sold it so damn well, and the way she was made up made it very believable. Either way it was a master stroke on his part. And you could see in the way Colin was all ready reacting to her that he knew he was doomed. Lol.
I dunno... I found it really f*ing gross that they just used her as a prop, even if it was a character... and I usually give comedians tons of leeway because I like dark humor. But her not even having lines and just sitting there as a human prop, really rubbed me wrong. Am I crazy? Am I the only one who thought that was a really weird and shitty thing to do?
It's all comedy. She knew what she got herself into.
@@BooBuKittyPhukfor the record, she's an actress and so it was all part of the joke. Colin was not aware though.
Colin left his kid gloves at home this year. He was definitely giving it back to Michael. Probably the most savage bout 😂👍
And reminding people he has an Instagram account, savage
Che bringing her on backfired, Colin came to play 😂😂
No, he had one that hit harder, the "blue lives matter even more".
this one was bloody omg XD
I never miss Weekend Update. This is the main reason I still watch SNL after all these years. I didn't think it could get much better but joke swap turns them into the G.O.A.T.
It's the strongest part of SNL these days. I still love the show, and I know not every sketch is a winner but I respect the work all the cast members put into coming up with something original every week.
Not Colin being left hanging with the fist bump and the handshake at the absolute end! 😂😂😂 This was so bloody good! Colin has finally become ruthless!
"y'all need jesus" Colin is finally punching back at the same level. Edit: you could hear Che's fear of what was coming when he read the Middle East turmoil card.
Ohhhhhh the gem is Dr.Davis leaning back, way back and not taking Collin's hand shake during the fade out! A true performer! ❤
Hmmm. Lol
She's not even a real activist/doctor! She's an actor that Michael Che hired just for this skit!
If so, she gave a good performance.
And also rejecting Colin's fist bump
that was the best part LMAO!
Probably the most vicious they've been towards each other during the joke swaps. Jost really stepped up, but Che was just as savage as always. Good thing they're friends. LOL
It’s been 2 weeks and I can’t stop watching this!!! It was definitely an amazing skit of 2023
The fear in Michael Che’s voice when he said “turmoil in the Middle East” broke me 😂😂
They probably get strongly suggested not to talk about it. Good on Colin for brining it up
The “Am I Right?” Hanging fist 🤜🏻❌bump was brutal 😂😂😂😂
loved watching che squirm a bit!!! you can tell he was caught off guard lmaoo
Michael Che being savage as ever with Colin’s career and marriage 😂😂😂
That’s all Michele Che has. His cast mate could be even more savage but he doesn’t.
@@rosemarywoodhouse4832 Who the hell is Michele Che? You're just a bigoted hater who can't spell.
Dear Colin. Dear Michael. Don’t ever change. This was beyond EPIC. Colin’s joke swap game has leveled up since the last match.😂😂🤣
“Y’all need Jesus!”😅
I'm literally crying laughing through this one!!! And congratulations, Colin Jost! You finally got some jokes that made Michael Che lose it!! 😆🤣😂😅😂
Sis this was absolutely the best ever and Colin got him good 🤣🤣🤣
Wear a Depends when watching Che&Jost!!!!!!
He finally got a couple scorchers on Michael !
OMG! My sides are killing me from laughing so hard... You can't deny the talent and interaction of these two characters.
I admit I haven't watched all of these, but I'm glad to see that Michael Che seemed to finally be shocked at what he was saying.
That was outstanding. I haven't laughed that much in ages. Fair play to both Colin and Michael for upping their game. You've got to give the W to Michael for bringing out Dr Davis. I can't wait for next year's!
Yea Michael wins. But Colin brought some good ones this year
Pure genius 😂
That was a cheap gimmick. The MJ joke and Jesus follow up were the best by far.
Dr. Davis is not a real person
@@cmw12 yeah, Che had to bring in props this time. Jost just had a great joke
They really need to give these two their own half hour Weekend Update show
How about we replace the regular news broadcasts everyday with them? I’ll take my news in this form better than any other
This is The Daily show I want!
I disagree, this is like sweet candy: you are ecstatically anticipating and enjoy it so much when it finally arrives because it's not a regular feature... the moment it becomes a regular feature it will lose its allure and it'll be just regular and droned out work.
I agree - SNL is always brilliant but these two would make a great show in their own right.
Only reasons I come to SNL, it Weekend Update.
My favorite part of when they swap jokes is how Colin stays so committed to what he's given!
each joke has grown into a double or tripple expansion into other jokes. its funny how each year they get better and better. also collins face when micheal threw the plot twist was amazing
That “am I right???” line & the fist bump attempt was so choice! Che is a savage when it comes to the yearly joke swap; comedy gold!
As a kid when weekend update would come on I would go to bed. Now this is my favorite part of the show. And the joke swap ones are probably my favorite overall.
Without a doubt, this is truly the funniest WRITTEN performance of 2023. Great job guys. I sometimes feel without Weekend Update people would care half as much about the rest of the cast. And the current cast is absolutely amazing!
I watched it 4 straight times in a row. That was the darkest joke swap ever, but I was hysterical at their faces 😂 Colin finally got Michael, at least evenly!
No way, Michael was one step ahead. Colin finally made che panic though, and it was hilarious.
You watched 4 times because you couldn’t believe that this crap was being normalized …. NORMALIZED via humor…. Horrible!
@@FrancineCampbell-Hakimlmao shut uppppp.. laugh a little.

Jost came out swinging but Che is always one step ahead. These were amazing 🤣
He has to be. It’s TV. He black.
This was good. But in all the years they have been doing this, the '23 April Fools episode will always be the best.
I thought it was pretty equal, except Che brought out Hattie.
I thought Colin won this one. The MJ and Y’all need Jesus jokes were excellent.
che at 4:10 losing it makes it even better. finally glad Colin made it more even this time…
My face hurts from laughing. 😂😂😂 This is their best yet and I can't stop hyperventilating
I have a strong feeling Hattie was trying her best not to break down laughing hysterically at all of Colin's jokes that Michael wrote
No I dont think so. She is a incredibly serious person - she isnt funny and doesnt usually express levity on camera. Did you see how she refused to shake Colin's hand even AFTER the sketch ended and the cameras were pulling off? Yeah even though she knows this is humor she cannot allow herself to be seen condoning the jokes Colin told - even though Che wrote them. Thats how SERIOUS she is!
@@breakdancinfool I don't know how to tell you this, but there's no such activist named Hattie Davis. She's an actor that Che hired.
@@MelodicQuestThe woman walked with King! Anyway, she held character, but you could tell it wasn’t easy sometimes. 😁
@@kellyalves756she’s an extra on SNL, has appeared before. She’s not a real activist. It’s part of the joke. Reddit has a tell all thread about it.
@@breakdancinfool I love when people pretend to know something only to be called out on it right away.
The way Dr Davis looked at Colin at the end has so much meme potential 😂
""Doctor" of what, buffoonish haircuts?
She wouldn't shake his hand! 😂
The cue card probably read Colin goes for a fist bump and is refused.
No…she literally wouldn’t shake Colin’s hand at the end of the skit after they wrapped up. 😂 Took the non fist bump to a new level.
Fun Fact: Haddie Davis is just a made up character, to make Collin feel guilty about his jokes.
I can only imagine Richard Pryor laughing his ass off at the black widow joke
these joke swaps are incredible, real uncensored comedy
@4:19 LOVE that when Colin extends his hand she cowers back like "WTF, don't touch me!!!" Epic
That lean back like I’m good😂😂😂
Yo, this sketch was WILD!
I love the look on Jost's face when Davis came in. He knew what was coming.
Jost stepped up his game
I love how as soon as Che introduced Hattie Davis, Colin could see where this was going.
Oh, he could see his 1st one on the cue card! 😳🤣
Jost could see where it was going when they said "joke swap" 😂🤣
The awkward “hi” was great
The moment at @2:13 is absolute perfection - when Jost assumed the joke was over then saw the next cue to go for a fist bump.
The year end jokes are amazing. I'm a sucker for the most inappropriate jokes, they crack me up 😂 These two are the only piece of SNL I watch anymore... Good job guys you're hilarious 😂
I've watched this so many times just to hear Michael's panic as he say "turmoil in the middle east" 😂. So so funny
SNL, please don't stop doing these joke swaps! Joke swaps for 50 more years!
Brilliant format that allows jokes that would otherwise get people cancelled and/or physically attacked.

Lowkey it is the best dunk on every man. I'm married to this woman.
The most savage joke swap of all time between these two. This is what makes the holidays great 😂😂😂
These joke swaps are always some of the funniest content SNL puts out, but this one was absolutely SAVAGE! I had tears in my eyes I laughed so hard. 🤣
The best ever.
Watched it a second time and teared up again.
2:13 that look on his face when he read what he had to do next
Colin really went all out this year with his writing lmao
As Pete Davidson said a few weeks ago "sometimes comedy is really the only way forward from tragedy" - thank you to Michael and Colin for letting us laugh again during these times.
Pete Davidson is a joke
Amen
@@alidi4144 Yes he is but you're being a dick. Its a true statement.
Michael's not trying to end Collins career he's trying to end his marriage.😂😂😂
Che's voice climbing an octave when he sensed the incoming doom reading the line "turmoil in the Middle East right now" is just classic.
Che saying "The woman marched with King" as a setup for his next joke is so underrated!
“The woman is an activist, Colin. The woman marched with Dr. King.” LMAO.
google "Dr Hattie Davis". is that a real person or an actress playing a character? probably a character
That’s my guess too. Google isn’t revealing this person as an actual activist but who knows. What was the bit about her being on SNL in season 3 though? That seemed like a weird detail to include if she’s a made up person.
